Sometime in the early 80s a genre called Modern Rock was born. It evolved along the way to what we now know as Alternative Rock. Some stations call it Adult Alternative and that encompasses slower material usually or mid tempo songs. The real alternative rock stations are ones like K-ROC in Los Angeles, or 105.3 KITS in San Francisco and they play songs from such bands as Weezer, Green Day, System of a Down, Rise Against, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many others. These are the types of songs and music that appeal to today’s younger listeners but it is definitely not an exclusive relationship. More and more baby boomers and older adults are tuning into this music, some for the first time since being stuck on Classic Rock for many years, and finding that the serious nature of the music and the quality of the songs and melodies appeal to them. This music is not that far removed from the Classic Rock that they grew up with but with a fresh twist that draws people in once they get past the initial rejection.

I have heard many of my older baby boomer generation friends say that they just don’t have time to listen to anything new. These people are just making excuses because they still have time to listen to the old stuff. They drive around all day listening to the greatest hits by the Eagles, the Who, Led Zepellin, CCR, the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones. They love these old familiar favorites because like home cooking, they provide comfort. Trying something new requires a little patience and you need to risk some of your precious time. But the rewards of listening to some of the great new artists that are out there right now, making their own greatest hits as they go, is the discovery of new music and the making of new memories.

We love old familiar Classic Rock songs and greatest hits compilations because these songs are forever linked in our memories and minds with wonderful experiences of growing up and falling in love and maybe even having kids. Listening to new music can help you to make new connections and give you fresh insights and memories that will last for years to come.

Listen to the Alternative Rock stations for a little bit each day. Discover what the young people already know, that there are some fantastic bands out there creating wonderful new greatest hits of rock and roll that will stand up with the best of all time. Bands like Kaiser Chief, the Bravery, Finger Eleven, Foo Fighters, Silversun Pickups, MGMT, and many others are recording some wonderful music that is not to be missed.

Greatest hits are being made right now by wonderful alternative bands and once you have listened to them and their great new music, you will be hooked forever. So go ahead, take a chance and risk a few hours of your time. What do you have to lose?

Everyone has their favorite classic rock songs and it usually has to do with what they were doing at the time when they first heard it. If you were experiencing your first kiss with Suzie Q. and Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” was blasting in your dad’s Plymouth as you leaned over, chances are that every time you hear that song for the rest of your life you will get a cheap thrill. Music and music memory are tied to our emotions and our life experiences in deep, unknown ways that psychologists have been trying to decipher for a long time. Our subconscious is a strange and complex place and for some reason music seems to stir passions and energies that we never even knew existed.

Sometimes the reaction to certain songs is not love, lust, or romance, but annoyance, irritation, or hatred. I myself for some reason cannot abide any songs by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush. It is not so much the songs themselves that I can’t stand, but the high, reedy, whining voice of their lead singer Getty Lee. Yet many of my friends swear by Rush and think that I am off my rocker.

In comparison, I love many of the classic rock songs by another Canadian, Neil Young, and I have been surprised by the vehemence of negative emotions that this name conjures up with some of my less enlightened associates. Suffice to say that Neil Young is no friend of white Southerners, especially after his pointed attack on them in the classic rock songs “Alabama” and “Southern Man” (one obviously was not enough for Neil). When Lynrd Skynrd made “Sweet Home Alabama” and mentioned “We heard old Neil sing about her, I heard old Neil put her down. We hope Neil Young will remember, Southern man don’t need him around anyhow,” this incited a fresh round of racist flag waving.

This whole thing with Neil Young is very strange since Neil basically made his living playing acoustic, harmonica-tinged Southern rock with classic albums like “Harvest”, “Harvest Moon” and many others. Neil also contributed many classic rock songs that endure to this day as some of the very finest ever written. Classic rock songs like “Harvest Moon”, “Southern Man”, “Heart of Gold”, “Old Man”, “Needle and the Damage Done”, and “Rockin’ in the Free World” are all examples of country music mixed with rock and roll.

Classic rock songs have a way of stirring up emotions that you just don’t get in any other genre of music, in my opinion. Take for example one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time, “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zepellin. It was voted as the greatest song ever written and yet continues to be bashed by people saying that it has been overplayed to death. In the hit comedy movie “Wayne’s World” there is a sign on the wall at the Guitar Center that reads “No Playing Stairway to Heaven”. In Hermosa Beach, California, at the great blues and rock club, Café Boogaloo, there is a sign on the wall that reads “No Mustang Sally” which always struck me as hilarious since “Mustang Sally” is not a bad song. After hearing every two bit jam band play that song to the ground I realized that maybe not playing it was a good thing.

Modern culture, some would even call it, post-modern culture, today’s culture of rock and roll, rap, jazz, is best described as culture for the populace, popular culture. This ambiguous yet identifiable culture is the one we are most familiar with and what we oppose to the ‘old’ culture, the culture before Elvis Presley, the Beetles, and B.B. King. With music, in particular, we can easily identify the modern culture over against the culture that produced such music as comes from classical music composers such as Haydn, Handel, Lully, or Purcell. We immediately note that these older composers worked primarily with orchestral expressions, with full symphonies of oboes, bassoons, wood winds of every sort, a variety of brass instruments, even harps, and of course concert pianos. While we occasionally will find modern music employing this range of instruments, most of us consider a lead guitar, a rhythm guitar, a bass and a set of drums all you really need to make beautiful music in our age. While that may be, and while today’s music may move us as did the work of the classical music composers of ages pass, we would be doing ourselves a disservice not to give an ear occasionally to the work of the ‘long hairs’ who once thrilled royalty, the aristocracy, the people of a culture from which our own has sprung.

Yes, classical music composers produced a music that seems at times overly complex and subtle, as if you needed a Masters in musicology to understand it, but that is because our ears have lost the refinement, the careful attentiveness that these classical music composers presupposed of their audience. If we approach classical music with our hearts and minds as well as with our ears, we can easily appreciate the monumental works of a Mozart or a Beethoven. Music addresses the heart first, the emotions, and these are something that are at the very heart of every human soul. Classical music is no different than modern music in its purpose, namely, to move the heart and mind towards an apprehension of beauty in sound.

Modern music composers and classical music composers both aim to stir the mind and the emotions with the same elements of music, with melody, polyphony, harmony, rhythm. The very principles that define the classical genre, those of measure, unity, clarity, balance, proportion, have not been superseded by modern music: the classic principles or art, poetry and music which were elucidated by the ancient Greeks such as Plato or Aristotle, and taken up when these were re-discovered in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries still condition the music of our own day. If you doubt this, just compare some of today’s music with that of the Baroque, the Rocco, the impressionist, with classical music composers such as Debussy or Stravinsky. What you will find is that in both styles, modern and classic, the ideals of careful craftsmanship, idealist control, and formal beauty exist in both.

Give an ear to the long hairs of old. You’ll find that they describe much the same emotions, the same wonder, the same delight in sound that today’s long hairs do with metal and electronic vibrations. The instruments may be somewhat different, the goal, the apprehension of beauty, remains the same.

Sit back, relax and think of all the wonderful memories by listening to some good old 80s music.

Now you can hear you favorite 80s music anytime and anywhere you want to.

When I visited New Orleans a few years ago, I headed down to a music store in the French Quarter with my aunt and uncle, who are both big jazz fans. We were all perusing the various genres of music when a sales associate approached me.

“Can I help you find something?” he asked with a smile.

Now, my favorite kind of music is classical, and I was in a jovial mood, so I said that I was looking for a classical music CD that included Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. I was expecting a surprised or dumbfounded expression, but the associate smiled again and said, “Right this way.”

He walked me over to a section that had a rather sizable classical music selection and that included three different CDs with all six of the Brandenburg Concertos. Now I was the one with the surprised and dumbfounded expression.

I had not bought a classical music CD in months, and New Orleans, the jazz and blues capital of America, was the last place I expected to find what has become one of my favorite recordings. I began to wonder what else the store may have had that would be worth purchasing, so I continued to look.

I found a copy of Mozart’s Requiem, Beethoven’s Seventh, Eight and Ninth Symphonies, and an assortment of other pieces that I knew and loved. Many of them I already owned, but some I did not.

I eventually found so many other interesting classical music CDs that I put the Brandenburg Concertos back and bought several of the others. When I returned home, I was quite contented with my haul, but wondered why I decided not to buy that one classical music CD.

Last year, I made another trip down to the Big Easy and the first place that I went was to that little music store down in the French Quarter, just to see if that one particular classical music CD might miraculously still be there.

Sure enough, there was the CD, in the exact same place, with the same composer and orchestra. I wondered if anyone had even touched it since I’d picked it up a few years ago.

This time, I went ahead and bought it, and I actually felt a great sense of closure as I left the store. My aunt and uncle were very happy for me, though they thought it was strange that I had left it in the store in the first place, and we returned home after a great day of sight-seeing.

The Brandenburg Concertos was the last classical music CD I ever bought, thanks to such innovations as iTunes, but it was quite an experience to find such a good classical music selection in that shop in the French Quarter. The CD itself is still one of better ones I have.

There isn’t anything more that I enjoy at the end of a hard day than to flop down in my lounge chair and listen to so smooth and relaxing music. No one is better at putting out soothing music than George Carter. His sounds of blues guitar backed by gentle strings and piano accompaniment isn’t an assault on the ears. His newest CD titled appropriately stop sweating the hard stuff is in my opinion his best yet.

The next time you want something easy to listen to, pick up Georges new CD.

In the realm of country music, outlaw country music holds a very distinct and special place. Started in the late 1970’s, this style of country music featured some of the best country artists of all time and the best country music ever performed.

Outlaw country music was started in response to a style of country music called the Nashville sound, which was a bit softer than country had ever been. Such country music artists as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash were the originators of outlaw country and really made it what it was.

Jennings was the king of outlaw country music for me. He had a number of songs that exemplified the style, including “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean” and “Honky Tonk Heroes,” which was a tribute of sorts to the old honky tonk-style country singers like Hank Williams and George Jones.

Outlaw country music is a different breed because nothing before or after sounded quite like it, and it was extremely popular while it lasted, which oddly enough was not very long. It went against the establishment and had a more rugged sound.

One of the interesting things about outlaw country music is that there was a women’s movement during that period that featured such performers as Jessi Colter and Sammi Smith. Jessi Colter was actually Waylon Jennings’ wife, and with him she created the great compilation album called “Wanted! The Outlaws,” which was a huge success.

The outlaw country music movement also spawned a new movement in country music called Texas country music, which has already established legions of loyal followers. Hank Williams III is one of the more notable musicians from that movement.

One of my best friends asked me one time if I thought that outlaw country was better than other types of country music, because he liked more of the pop country style of modern artists. He said that it just seemed to be more listener-friendly style and that it appealed to a much larger listening audience than some of the outlaw country artists.

I told him that was precisely the reason that I prefer outlaw country music. To me, it had more of an authentic feel to it, and when I listened to it, I knew that I was listening to real country music and not a pop song.

I grew up with outlaw country music, idolizing guys like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. It definitely turned the tide of country music back to what it was supposed to be, in my mind, and featured some of the greatest country musicians of all time. Anyone that wants a good introduction to country music should definitely check it out.

When I was in college, I dated a girl who loved country music and would spend her free time following around various country music acts around the state of Texas with her family. She invited me to go with her one time, swearing to me that live country music is a lot of fun, and I have to say that she was right.

All of the country music I had ever heard had been recorded prior to going on that trip with my girlfriend. I knew that I loved the genre, but I was not aware of how great country music could be when it was performed live. We stopped first in a little town near Austin to hear a couple of local bands of which I had never heard.

My girlfriend knew all about them, however, and she started telling me all about them and where they were from and so forth. I soon discovered that a lot of these live country music acts had loyal followings. There were people from all over the state that came to hear them play. The price of admission was low and people would bring in coolers full of cold drinks.

When the bands started playing, everyone screamed and cheered, and it was just a lot of fun. Everybody was so friendly. We all sang and danced and had a great time. What impressed me about this particular live country music performance was when certain songs would start up and a whole bunch of people would start applauding and whistling.

I had never heard the songs, but these people had, and apparently, they were crowd favorites. I imagined for me it would be like going to a Willie Nelson concert and having him break into “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.”

We went to a lot of towns and communities throughout the state listening to live country music acts and having a great time. My girlfriend asked me if I was enjoying myself at one point, and told her that I was having a lot more fun than I ever imagined possible.

A few weeks after we got back, I saw that Garth Brooks was coming to town and got tickets. She was thrilled about that, and the concert was great. There was nothing like seeing live country music, whether it was a big superstar, or just some local acts with cult followings.

As time went by my girlfriend and I just sort of drifted apart and now I am married to the love of my life. I have not been to any live country music performances since that time, but it was a great experience to see those local acts, as well as the Garth Brooks concert, and it really showed me how much fun country music could be.

My love of classical music began as young boy and has only grown over the years. I collected tapes and CDs of my favorite composers and orchestras and listened to them on a regular basis growing up. I can say, though, that having the opportunity to listen to live classical music is a different experience all together.

I went to my first live classical music concert when I was 14 years old, to see a production of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. It was during the Christmas season, so I was already in a good mood, but when I heard that opening chord and listed to the orchestra play those beautiful notes, I was transfixed, and knew that I was in for the experience of a lifetime.

I had gone with my grandmother who had been to many live classical music performances, so it was probably old hat for her. She did look over at me on multiple occasions, however, and I knew that she could tell that I was really enjoying myself.

When the concert was over, we went out to eat and she asked me what I thought. I told her that I had never seen anything like it, and that I wanted to go to as many live performances as possible. She laughed and said that it does have a tendency to get into your blood.

A few months later, I had the pleasure of attending a Beethoven review live, where movements from a few of his symphonies were performed, as well as a couple of his better known works like Moonlight Sonata.

Once again, I was completely mesmerized by the experience. I had always enjoyed playing classical music at home, but nothing compared to the live classical music that I had gotten to experience at our local concert hall. I knew that it would be something I would enjoy for the rest of my life.

I attended my first opera when I was in my mid-20s. It was Tosca, my favorite opera of all, and it absolutely blew me away. Although I had the recording of the opera with Placido Domingo in the role of Cavaradossi, it was not nearly as breathtaking as seeing it live and hearing those wonderful arias performed right in front of me.

I have since been to see six other operas and will go to two more this year alone. Live classical music is like nothing I have ever experienced and is something that will be a part of my life for as long as I live. I would urge anyone that is a classical music fan but has never attended a live performance to do so, because it will strengthen and solidify your love of classical music forever.

Classical composers did not compose classical music. At the time of their composing, they were standing on the bow of the ship of music as it headed for the deep, dark, mysterious waters of the unknown possibilities of human experience. For them, their creative act was an experiment in both expression and technique.

Their creative acts were a tempest of exaggerations and struggles as they attempted to forge a new path to aesthetic experience. Little understood in their own time, the resolution of the tensions between the old and new creations not yet acknowledged, or accepted, it would take time for the listening public to understand and appreciate the new world these classical music composers discovered on behalf of man. It would be only later that their works, their discovers and claims, would gain full recognition, be appreciated, and finally, after a time, set as a launching point from which new adventures into music experience would be launched.

Among students of the history of music, the phrase, “classical music composers”, brings to mind such giants as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and they would be sure to make a distinction between such music as these composers created and the music of Schubert, Wagner or Schumann, even though these latter are regularly presented on “classical” music radio, or performed by “classical” music symphonies. This distinction is correct to the extent we define “classic” as that sort of musical style that rests heavily on the response of the heart to the objective beauties of form, of order, of measure, number, proportion, and balance, the rational qualities to which humans respond with recognition and delight. These aesthetic qualities first appeared among the “classical” Greeks, by which we mean, the Greeks of the Golden Age of Athens, starting around 470 BC. Being lovers of thought, their idea of beauty was the rational. In this case, “classical” refers to a style of music.

They would not be correct, however, in excluding as classics those who, departing from the rationalism of an earlier period, charted a new course called romanticism. The advances of these later composers too, in due time, were finally assimilated and established as “classic”. Like the classic composers, these composers forged new experiences that would withstand the test of time.

Today we call music of the 1950s, classics. The composers of that music would not have thought of themselves as classical music composers. Elves Presley, for instance, would have broken a hip had someone called him one of the classical music composers, but this is just what we mean when we say composers do not write classics, but, rather, the music they write becomes, after a time, after its techniques and intent have been assimilated by the music appreciating public, after withstanding the test of time, “classic”.

The next time a music composer waves a disparaging hand at classical music composers, tell him that if he is so lucky, his adventure in music might someday be a classic too.

Most people who dream of becoming a musician do not start out wanting to be in a cover band. When you are young and full of hope you truly believe that you will become “The Next Big Thing” and that you will record many albums and become a household name. The reality is that most musicians never make any real money and spend good chunks of their life pursuing a dream that will never materialize. Many of these musicians end up turning to the classic rock cover band as a way to continue to play music and make a few bucks in the meantime. There is a great tradition in the classic rock cover band annals and there are many great musicians now playing in these types of popular local groups. Bars and nightclubs across the country and across the world rely on the classic rock cover band as their main source of entertainment and a way to draw in revenue from aficionados and people who just love to dance to the oldies.

The classic rock cover band will typically play songs like “Brown Sugar” or “Honky Tonk Women” by the Rolling Stones or “Rock and Roll” and “Dancing Days” by Led Zepellin. The classic rock cover singer needs to have a tremendous range in order to be able to successfully and convincingly sing all of the classic rock songs that were made famous by great artists back in the sixties and seventies. A typical set list might include such diverse songs as “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by Queen followed by “Some Kind of Wonderful” by Grand Funk Railroad.

The classic rock ballad is very important and many of the best cover bands will feature these sexy slow songs to get people dancing cheek to cheek. Some of the classic rock ballad favorites include “Let’s Get it On” by Marvin Gay and “One” by U2. “Standing on the Dock of the Bay” is another great crooner song from Otis Redding that can be heard at many clubs on a Friday or Saturday night.

Most really good cover bands want to keep the patrons on the dance floor and dancing. Dancing patrons will normally drink a lot more than non-dancing ones and that is good news for the club owner and the band too, especially if the band gets a percentage of the bar receipts at the end of the night. Typically a bar owner will hedge his bet by offering the band a portion of the bar revenue, usually no more than 20 to 25%. The band needs to have a little faith that the bar owner will not rip them off so there is a little bit of the honor system going on at most places.

Some fantastic musicians can be seen at most clubs at major cities on any weekend night. The really good bands can play one or two gigs per week on a regular basis. On weekends many of the top bands will get higher paying shows as Wedding Bands or playing corporate parties or events such as festivals.

The classic rock experience can be a lot of fun, but it is also a lot of work and should not be undertaken lightly. Make sure that this is what you really want to do because it will suck up a lot of your free time. That being said, playing in a cover band can be a very rewarding experience and you will make a lot of good friends and meet some very interesting people on the way. Enjoy the ride!

Most of the greatest American rock bands of all time were to be found in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, though that may be too limiting for a complete listing. Great American rock music began in the 50s with Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, and Chuck Berry. Rockers like Richie Valens and Jerry Lee Lewis grew from the ripe musical spawning ground of southern blues music. Great blues artists such as Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf are many times mentioned by these rock artists as their heroes and an inspiration to them for starting their careers.

When the 60s began, Elvis ruled the airwaves until the Beatles arrived from England and took the U.S. by storm. Although the media dubbed it the “British Invasion” there were still plenty of great American rock artists at the same time such as the Beach Boys, the Animals, Buffalo Springfield, and many others.

The late 60s brought us such great American rock stars as Janis Joplin, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Canned Heat, Mountain, Jim Morrison and the Doors, and many others.

There were always great concerts to go to, especially in the big cities and on both coasts. San Francisco had the Fillmore West with the world’s greatest rock promoter Bill Graham, who eventually brought over all the greatest rock bands not only from the U.S. but from all over the world. Los Angeles had smaller venues such as the Whiskey-a-Go-Go where bands like the Doors got their start.

Later on other fantastic American rock acts such as Lynrd Skynrd, The Eagles, America, the Allman Brothers, and the Doobie Brothers would come on the scene and shake up the world with their string of hit songs.

In the 90s came the rise of bands like the Black Crowes, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, the Beastie Boys, R.E.M. and many others. The late 90s brought us the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

Today’s music scene features many up and coming and fully established American rock bands such as Kings of Leon, Interpol, Pearl Jam (still rocking), Green Day, Counting Crows, and Weezer. Also mixing it up are the Silversun Pickups, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Dandy Warhols, Spoon, and the Foo Fighters featuring Dave Grohl formerly of Nirvana fame.

Many years ago the Los Angeles Times announced boldly that “Rock Is Dead” but it is still going strong. As long as there are rebellious American teenagers willing to steal daddy’s car and go for a joyride there will be American rock bands. Americans love their rock music like they love their football or their Harley Davidsons. Just go to any local bar or nightclub on any given weekend and you will see that American rock bands are alive and well and rocking the house from sea to shining sea.

Babies love music, and many experts say it is key to learning and development. There are plenty of kids songs out there that you can sing to your children or play for them. However, you may find that you get tripped up on the words or that you get tired of singing the same three songs over and over again. Many moms love to sing to their babies by making up their own words. This is ideal for kids because the songs are tailored to their lives, environment, and age. Have fun with your songs and your children will remember them longer than you may think.

You can put your child’s name into any kids songs that you sing, but it is more fun to make the entire song up on your own using their name as the main theme of the song. For very young babies, you can sing softly about what you are going to do while singing their name in the song. They can easily learn the words for diaper, bottle, food, or bath through your kids songs. This doesn’t mean they are going to speak sooner, usually, but it does mean they are going to understand what you mean when you say those words thanks to the singsong way you speak them and the repetition.

As your babies get older, your kids songs for them can get more complex. They are learning and seeing new things all of the time, and if you put those things into your kids songs your baby can learn what they are. They are going to enjoy the sound of your voice and the whimsical tune you sing as they learn, and if they are not getting much from some songs, they are at least amused and happy. Your voice was the first thing they heard while they were inside of you, and that voice will always be calming and reassuring to them, especially when that voice is singing a song.

Some moms make up kids songs for different activities and use them each time that activity comes up. Babies and toddlers alike can be ready for what is coming next because they know the song and associate it with an activity like time for lunch or time for a bath. Kids songs can also be things you use to amuse your kids on longer car rides if they seem to hate being in a car seat, or to get them through other things that they seem to have no patience for. These kids songs are great for potty training as well.

Your kids songs can say anything that you wish them to say. That is the best part of making up your own songs. You can use any tune from any other song you wish, but put your child’s name in the kids songs quite often, and then sing about whatever you are going to do. It doesn’t matter how goofy you think your lyrics are or how nonsensical they may seem. Your baby is going to love them. Just have some rhythm and rhyme in there and you have great songs that your children will eventually sing along with you.
