But the professional use of it in the 20th century began after WWI and WWII when musicians would go to the Veteran's hospitals around the country to play for the thousands suffering from the emotional and the physical trauma of the wars. There were notable responses in many of the patients, which led the hospitals to hire musicians to play all the time. It was soon clear that the hospital musicians needed training before entering the facility and the demand grew for college curriculum. So in 1944 Michigan State University set up the first mus .....

A Brief History Of Ledd Zeppelin And Its Musical Impact
Number of words: 1203 - Number of pages: 5.... like never before.
The New Yardbirds
In early 1968 the music group The Yardbirds was in shambles. Their last,
and half-put --together album "Little Games" was a total flop and the band had
to struggle to have the release of the album in the UK stopped. On March 30,
the group allowed a taping of their concert in Madison Square Garden to be
considered for a live album to be released later. They easily convinced their
record contractor, Epic Records, to ditch the project. The lead guitarist of
The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck, had suffered from a mental breakdown a few years
earlier and could no .....

Stone Temple Pilots
Number of words: 796 - Number of pages: 3.... created a wall of sound all their own..Sometimes
an all outfrenzy of driving energy- (Sex Type Thing, Meatplow, Trippin on a
Holein a Paper Heart), to the more subdued tracks of Creep, Pretty Penny, and
Big Empty. The STP trademark sound can be best heard on Plush, and Interstate
Love Song..Classic Rock and Roll for the new generation.. This band has it all-
variety, talent, harmony, lyrics and a great overall concept for each album
released.. It would be hard for me to say whichalbum is the "best" as each
carries with it its own style andflavor. Core is STP's forray into "pop"

Who Are You?: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder
Number of words: 1304 - Number of pages: 5.... triumphant return.
You'd never guess it from Vedder's scowl. "Have you heard the new album?" he asks in his husky baritone. The applause is scattered. "Well," Vedder mumbles, "you're about to hear it again." With that, Pearl Jam edge into "Sometimes," the fragile ballad that opens No Code. "Seek my part," Vedder sings, pushing out the lyrics in a pained rasp. "Devote myself/My small self/Like a book amongst the many on a shelf."
The muted start seems to confuse the audience of mosh-minded twentysomethings, who are pumped for some of Vedder's girder-climbing theatrics. The fans are out of .....

Jazz Age
Number of words: 2147 - Number of pages: 8.... the mainstream, fixing the sound and the forms of our popular music for the next thirty years. Louie Armstrong closed the book on the dynastic tradition in New Orleans jazz.
The first true virtuoso soloist of jazz, Louie Armstrong was a dazzling improviser, technically, emotionally, and intellectually. Armstrong, often called the “father of jazz,” always spoke with deference, bordering on awe, of his musical roots, and with especial devotion of his mentor Joe Oliver. He changed the format of jazz by bringing the soloist to the forefront, and in his recording groups, the Hot Five and .....

Pearl Jam, Everclear, And No Doubt
Number of words: 450 - Number of pages: 2.... Jam,
but they do have a large following of fans. The three band members of Everclear
are Art Alexis, (lead vocals, and guitar) Greg Eklund, (drums and vocals) and
Craig Montoya, (bass, and vocals). Their album together is Sparkle and Fade, and
it is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Among the may popular songs are
Heroin Girl, Sparkle and Fade, and Santa Monica. All of the lyrics are good, but
there is a lot of profanity on this album.
No Doubt is the last band, but is not the least. No Doubt has had a
number one album, Tragic Kingdom, and it is VERY popular. This band is out of
Ca .....

John Rzeznik's Iris
Number of words: 772 - Number of pages: 3.... because he can not sense reality within her. The writer uses another literary technique, the repetitive use of the word “And.” Rzeznik uses “And” at the beginning of every verse. This shows a way of continuing his thoughts to stress a point and keeps the reader interested. This song contains a sad and depressing tone. The writer attempts to reach out and understand his lover. While he also wants her to see and comprehend him, but not as the world would, as he writes, “‘Cause I don’t think that they’d (the world) understand.”
In the first verse, or stanza, the reader .....

The Beatles And The Sex Pistols: A Study
Number of words: 2206 - Number of pages: 9.... be felt today.
The Sex Pistols are the most notorious band of all time. They lightning bolted onto the scene and then were gone equally as fast. However, they were to have an impact on popular music that hadn't been felt since the Beatles. Although they weren't the first punk group, they definitely defined the genre in the popular sense. From their music come new wave, alternative, and grunge.
Lyrically, the groups definitely differed. The Beatles compositions were quite eclectic, whereas the Sex Pistols tend to be all drawn upon their dissatisfaction with society. The majority of th .....
