For this assignment, you will choose a contemporary Rock group or artist and address the prompts below. It is important to note that our contemporary music did not come out of thin air. Many of the harmonic backgrounds of current songs have come to us from Blues and other earlier forms. Many tunes from our time only contain three or four “chords” or harmonic changes. Most songs are written in common time, which means there are four beats to a measure.
Choose your favorite band or artist. Respond to the following prompts:
Name your favorite band or artist
Why do you like this artist/band?
What are the best pieces by this artist/band?
Compare the style of this artist/band to previous artists/bands
