I was blown away that The Band wrote there lyrics by writing a 1 line lyric every time they left or entered the house they lived in. Since they all lived together each line was deifferent ad the lyrics are so good. Weight by the band was really good lyrically and sounded really great as well. I'm just think its really cool to write lyrics like that.

I was watching a KLRU on Tuesday night, and a show was on that I thought was really interesting. It was about bands in the sixties that went on the Ed Sulivan show. If you where a music group and wanted to be big and make it in music then you have to play on that show, because the show was so popular. I saw that the Rolling Stones have been on the show 4 times and the Beatles I think 2 or 3. Since there was not a lot of channels in the 60's every person watched this show so it was a great way for bands to show themselfs.

I've been listening to a lot of Bright Eyes lately. It's an indie rock band found by singer/guitarist Connor Oberst. Connor is also in several other bands I enjoy like, Desaparecidos and the Script. 

Here is a bright eyes song

His voice is not the best, but in a way it's like Bob Dylan's. Not because they sound alike, because they both 
Have a worn down, sad feel to it. I like that a lot, because it perfectly matches he's lyrics. I like his style of 
writing and singing. 
I saw Bright Eyes at ACL in 2011. They sounded great live.

I love the White album by Beatles  but they over did it with having too many songs on it. Paul is actually pretty good at playing the drums. Obla-di Obla-da is such a good song. It always brings a smile to my face. I am curious to why the beatles fell apart towards the end of therer career. Was it a personal thing or was it that the times had changed. I feel like yoko ono turned John away from the beatles, but im not entirely sure. 

The Jimi hendrix Album that we listened to on Tuesday was not that great in my opinion. I love Jimi hindrix but some of his music sound the same and feel the same. Now, Jimi Hendrix Experience is a great album, his best one I think. I also think it's cool that The beatles came out with the foundation of metal, and set up music for led Zeplin.

I'm not a big fan of Pink Floyd, but I kind of like Dark side of the moon. The lyrics are kind of weird but I like the music they make. It fits together though, when I here them I don't really care about how good the lyrics are the music makes it sound good even though the lyrics might suck. They are definetly not one of my favorite bands.

Magical Mystery Tour is not one of my favorite albums by the Beetles. I did like it a lot though because I am a walrus is one of my favorite songs by the beetles. The beginning of the album was alright. I thought it was too slow and did not fit the rest of the album. But The Fool on the Hill sounds really good, I like that song a lot. The second half of the Album is really good. I think that Ringo killed on the drums.

Jimi Hendrix is my favorite artist in history. He is one of my idols. He persuaded me to start playing the guitar. He was such a big inspiration to rock it is crazy. He sang and played guitar at the same time which was fantastic because he shredded on the guitar and lyrics were good. Plus he was black so that was unbelievable during that time for him to be destroying the rock scene. By far the best guitarist in my opinion.

Rock and roll has kind of branched out in different kinds of rock. Grunge, metal, garage, cans crazy drug rock.  I like the crunge rock because nirvana is one o my favorite bands. I'm not a big fan of metal because its to heavy or me. Garage sounds ok in my opinion. I would not listen to it for a long period of time though. And the crazy rock stuff sounds so cool. The Beatles do a great job on that kind of rock in Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
