WHAT I THINK OF MUSIC

Music is an art that puts sound together in a way that people like or

find amusing. Most music includes people singing with their

voices or playing musical instruments, such as the piano,

guitar, or drums.

The word music comes from the Greek/word Greek language

μουσική mousike, which means "art of the Muses". In Ancient

Greek the Muses included the goodness of Music, Poetry, Art,

and Dance.

IF WE DIDN’T HAVE MUSIC

I I think we would just find other ways to express ourselves.

Whether it's poetry, sound effects, howling or just wailing

...There would be other ways for us to express ourselves

artistically.

MUSIC IN THE 1960’S

In the 1960’s music was all relaxed and lean back, they liked

to stand out with bright colours, their songs were very

colourful. At the beginning of the 1960s, pop and rock

and roll trends of the 1950s continued, the rock and roll

of the decade before started to merge into a more

international, variant known as rock.

Here are the top 6 songs from the 60’s

1 - The Beatles, I Want To Hold Your Hand, 1964

2 – Lulu, To Sir With Love, 1967

3 - Bobby Lewis, Tossin' & Turnin', 1961

4 - The Fifth Dimension, Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In, 1969

5 - The Rolling Stones, Satisfaction, 1965

6 - The Shirelles , Will You Love Me Tomorrow, 1961

MUSIC FROM THE 1970’S

Music in the 1970’s was teen pop rock like today the rise of disco, which

became one of the biggest genres of the decade, especially in the mid

to late 1970s. Aside from disco, funk, smooth jazz, jazz fusion, soul

remained popular throughout the decade. Rock music played an

important part in the Western musical scene, with punk rock thriving

throughout the mid to late 1970s.

Here are the top 6 songs of the 1970’s

1. Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon and Garfunkel

2. (They Long to Be) Close to You, The Carpenters

3. American Woman/No Sugar Tonight, The Guess

4. Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, B.J. Thomas in Starr

6. Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Diana Ross

MUSIC FROM 1980’S

By the end of the 1970s, disco music was rapidly declining in popularity,

due in no small part to the raw energy of punk rock and the rise of an

alternative pop sound known as new wave. Early 80's music was largely

dominated by groups such as the Clash, Blondie, Talking Heads, the B-

52s and other new wave or mainstream punk bands. The earliest years

of 80's music also saw the return of one-hit wonders such as Chilliwack

and the Greg Kihn Band. Much like the early 1960s musical doldrums,

the first few years of the 1980s were not particularly memorable.

The 80's pop music scene benefited greatly from the advent of music

videos and a cable television station dedicated to showing them on a

regular basis. When the Music Television channel (MTV) first went on

the air, bands and solo artists who already had promotional videos got

an unexpected career boost. One important element of 80's music

became the visual aspects of the song's promotional video. In fact,

many 80's music hits can be identified just as easily by the images in

their videos as they can by the artists or song lyrics.
