I wasn't aware electronic music never existed.
I think it's fairly safe to say that Jazz/blues and rock had more of an impact on the development of music that electronic music. Then again I'm not at all interested in it so that's probably another reason it's not there. You can write a section for me though if you're that adamant about it being in there

Yeah good point Read the fucking title sporkfire
Why do you only want help from people who know 60s rock? it looks to me like the question is a lot broader than just that

What he said. Basically I have completely finished the Jazz section and it's fucking legit, no need to post it now I haven't even started the metal section and I'm halfway through the rock one. I'm not very well versed with sixties rock, I don't know how but I did very well with the Jazz section and I'm fairly sure I got the metal section down as it's kind of my favorite out of the three
if you want some opinions on the way of modern music, Steven Wilson is great to quote. He talks a lot about the death of the album and digital revolution, including the advent of ipods and youtube, which is great. Sixties rock was as far as I'm aware emerging onto the Psychedelic scene. Psychedelic rock emerged in the mid-late 1960's and was considered to be the bridge between more blues orientated tracks of the early 1900s and the 50s to the more rock orientated tracks that came in the 70s. There began to be a stronger electric guitar and keyboard presence, and experimentation with different instruments and time signatures and structures. This was pretty much the age of drugs too - use of LSD was popularised and even used (don't quote me on this, I don't know this bit for sure) by the Beatles. Bob Dylan was pretty damn popular as well, and I suggest you look up the "San Francisco sound", as San francisco is where music developed in the US in the 60's. Jimi Hendrix was big in the era, and he died in 1970 so have a look into that. Cream was a huge band then too. Then when you get to the 70's, the progressive scene began to emerge. Floyd, pretty much. Heaps of experimentation. Wilson stated that the 60's and 70's were when the commercial industry began to lose control of the artistic side and the philosophy became a more experimental 'art over commerce' side to music, which is so much different to the present when you think about it. In the 60's and 70's, music was experimented with in huge ways and shaped and changed, new ideas were brought into light, etc. All bands had huge amounts of technical and creative skill, definitely transcending bands of today. Album art was important and it was important to create the hype of an album - classics like Sgt Pepper and Are You Experienced that just can't be matched today. Then Punk, which kinda turned things on their back and the commercial side began to take over - think Sex Pistols, the guy wore an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt.

It depresses me that motown isn't included anywhere here :saddowns:

I'm not too sharp on the sixties, it was the 70's where I take real interest in my rock, but if you're mentioning the evolution of hip-hop - DJing MCing Breaking Beatboxing and Grafitti - I can aid you there. Also anything to do with political dissent in music

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;27609063]Why on earth [u]wouldn't you not[/u] start with an outline, when theres a year-long essay involved.[/QUOTE] That's a double negative.
[QUOTE=Sporkfire;27609063]Why on earth wouldn't you not start with an outline, when theres a year-long essay involved.[/QUOTE] Because sometimes it's easier to write the way he's writing. When I write I just write, and the outcome seems to be a sloppy writing. After that, I edit, revise, reformat, move some sentences around, etc. Not everybody writes the same way, there isn't a "proper" writing technique. The proper technique is to write how you feel comfortable writing.

You're lucky I'm listening to some jazz with John Coltrane having an LSD experience. :smug:

Yeah, whatever you do, mention Muddy Waters in your essay. You may also want to get in on the country side of rock in the 50's and 60's. I know nothing about that but it's been a big part of the evolution of rock music.
My avatar, include him. [editline]24th January 2011[/editline] And The Doors.
It's interesting how people compare Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Guy, saying Buddy Guy tries to copy Jimi Hendrix.

You don't even have anything on Pop/R&B and thats actually the most listened to genre in the world (shit you excluded electronic music, which is nearly as big and has been around since the late 50s). Anyways it'll probably won't matter anyways, you go to public school I guess? As long as you write HERP DURP ROCK N ROLL all over it, I'm sure you'll pass. Your paper sucks.
