I'm putting in as much as I can guys
Also En-Guage, the song is called "The Thrill Is Gone" not "The Thrill Has Gone Away". [editline]26th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=En-Guage V2;27669412]I'm putting in as much as I can guys[/QUOTE] You haven't written anything about the country influence towards rock, especially in the 60's. Just saying. I know nothing of it though, but perhaps you should consider adding some of that. At the moment you've just had blues influences in your essay :v:
oh lawd what a rookie mistake, I was listening to BB King as I wrote that part. Maybe I should've been paying more attention to the album instead of the music Well the reason I only had blues influences in my essay was because you guys told me to, I'll re add the elvis part then, that kind of explained it. I just can't keep expanding on stuff, I gotta draw a line
huge bump Done a fuckton of work recently, added a whole bunch of stuff. Adding it to the OP, feedback pl0x Will check again tomorrow [editline]2nd February 2011[/editline] Looks really small in the OP but that's waaaay more than a thousand words
You are a better writer than me
re: your psychedelic rock analysis I would hesitate (HAHAHA) to call the Holy Modal Rounders psychedelic rock, although they're still worth crediting in that they were the first to use the term. In my opinion, the first important record in the development of psychedelic rock was Rubber Soul, which though not really part of that genre contained a number of elements which would influence it (a good example being the use of the sitar.) I would track the real beginning of the genre to four 1966 albums: Revolver (The Beatles), Roger the Engineer (The Yardbirds), Fifth Dimension (The Byrds) and The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (The 13th Floor Elevators)

I haven't got around to even listening to psych rock yet, making it a point to do so. I got carried away writing about it, I found it really interesting. Just cut me some slack, half of these musical genres I've never actually bothered to touch upon before. [editline]4th February 2011[/editline] Well that's why I made the thread I guess, because I don't really fully understand what I'm writing about [editline]4th February 2011[/editline] And plus everyone has a different opinion about how the origins of a specific genre, who created it, when, how and ect I must've read about 5 different opinions on who was the first psych rock band, and how and whatever [editline]4th February 2011[/editline] Oh and I'm doing the folk rock section now, going to finish blues rock later tonight so I'll add those almost finished it but, I've written about the revival of folk music, how the British invasion helped and I wrote about the Byrd's and Tambourine Man. Kind of stuck for idea, going to include Bob Dylan but I'm not sure what else I can write after that. can anybody specifically outline how specifically he contributed to folk rock? I'll post what I've written thus far when I get home
