respond to on of the musical examples from this unit in greater depth. If you select this option, you will write one to two paragraphs discussing what you found particularly musically and/or lyrically effective, interesting and/or enjoyable about the performance. I am not asking you to make earth-shattering revelations here. Rather I want to see you demonstrate, in your own words, that you listened to the song and tried to understand what you were hearing. Do your best to describe details in the recording that support your argument. It is also useful to attempt to situate the song within the history of rock ‘n’ roll as it is presented in this class to date.
Your response should address some or all of the following questions (to the best of your abilities):
-What instruments are used in this song?
-What are some of the most clear sonic characteristics of the song?
-How do these sounds relate to the (sub-)genres that came before it?
-Why is this song relevant to the lecture/unit?
-Why did you choose this particular song? What made it stand out for you?
