What kind of music do you listen to? What is your favorite genre? Regardless of your preferences, the odds are
you favorite band, song, or performance was influenced someway by the
Beatles. It was 50 years ago on February
9th that this band from Liverpool, England performed on the Ed
Sullivan Show and changed the world forever.
The Beatles are the greatest selling band of all time. They have more number one hits in the United
Kingdom and the United States than anyone ever.
You can see and hear the
influence of the Beatles in most music today.
They were not afraid of experimenting in different genres or with
different instruments. They were the first
to perform a stadium concert. Each album
was a unique experience with a different sound.
John, Paul, George, and Ringo each contributed in their own way to the
sound and success of the Beatles.
For having such a huge influence, they had a surprisingly
short career. After less than a decade,
the Beatles broke up in 1970. The
pressure of being forever and always linked to one another proved to be too
much. Most fans were anxiously awaiting
a reunion which unfortunately was made impossible after John Lennon was killed
by a crazed fan in December of 1980.
George Harrison lost his life in 2001 after battling cancer. The remaining members, Paul McCartney and
Ringo Starr, continue to perform and contribute to the musical world.
What kind of music do you listen to? Why? Do you like to listen to music? Why is it so appealing? Can
music change the world? If so, how?
I love original singers so I like to listen to Vanilla Ice, Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, and more artists. I like the music I listen to because it makes me want to dance and be energetic. I love Music without music no would be the same. It fells like its bringing the real you out not the school you or any version of you. Yes it most defiantly can. If some thing can change a person than it can change the world.

Yes I do like to listen to music. It is so appealing to me it pleases my senses such as physical senses and mental senses. Yes because the type of music you listen to ca change the way think and feel.
ReplyDeleteI listen to pop, some rap, and hip hop. I listen to all of these varieties because it is entertaining and relaxes. Also because it is the only type of music I like. I love listening to music because calms me down...sometimes. Music is so appealing because it make people feel happy inside and it entertains people. Music can change the world by moving people and studies show that people who play instruments get better grades.
ReplyDeleteI listen to pop, rap, and hip hop. These kinds of music make me feel energized, but calms me down at the same time. I like listening to these music types during car rides, but when I work, just a quiet background music. I think music can change the world be inspiring more artists to create new types of music. New music could change modern day culture and make the future a crazy, new place!
ReplyDeleteI listen to rock, some pop, and some rap. The lyrics behind some of the songs are so meaningful and relatable, and the beat of the songs are well done. Music is probably the best thing to ever happen to me only because I can listen to it and actually understand it. Whatever mood I'm in, it automatically makes me happy. I think music can change the world. I can't even imagine a world without it. No matter what type people prefer, music will always be enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to a little bit of everything from rock, some pop, and some rap, but I like to listen to alternative which is (like I said) a bit of it all. I like the sound and feel of songs. They can connect with me sometimes. Yes i like to listen to music because a lot of times it helps me focus and stay involved in what I am going. I like being able to get involved by something with such good sound. Yes I believe that music can change the world from hair styles to what clothes you wear. Music is a huge influence in some peoples life and without it I would not find peace.
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to rap because it makes me feel in the moment and it makes me feel relaxed. It feels like its bringing the real you, out not the school you or any version of you.It is so appealing to me it pleases my senses such as physical senses and mental senses. Yes because the type of music you listen to ca change the way think and feel. I dont like them but the beatles changed the world.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite genre mostly favorite songs and artists but if I had to pick a category I would say... um... I guess happy songs or songs with meaning. I like to listen to the lyrics and think about what type of person would sing the song. I like music because it makes me think. If a super-duper-amazingly-powerful song was written, it would change hearts- kinda like the Beatles (they're great)- and the heart is where every person connects. <3 CC
ReplyDeleteps Jack, I don't like rap
I like to listen to pop and rock'n'roll pop. An example of rock'n'roll pop is Fall Out Boy or Boys Like Girls( they're my favorite). I listen to music very often. It makes me feel happy! Music has a strong power by saying what you think and why but not really saying it directly. In Macklemore's song "Same Love" he protested against people who did not like gay people. It can change are world by letting people say what they want and when want. Wether it be about gay/lesbian or about world crisis. Music has the power to change us for the good.
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to some rock, pop, rap, indie pop (yes its a real thing), and alternative. I like listening to music because it makes me feel happy. Anytime I'm angry or just wanting to be shut out of the world, music always makes me feel better. I love listening to music. Its just so calming. I feel like every song has its own meaning to that person and its special to them. To me, music is appealing in its own way to different people. Based on your experiences, any song can mean something to you personally. I do think music can change the world. It puts different influences on us either by the beat or the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteThe music I like to listen to is pop, hip-hop, country, soft rock, contemporary, and traditional Celtic and folk music. I like to listen to a variety of music because they all make me feel happy, calm, or cheerful. Different types of music like pop and hip-hop make me feel cheerful and want to sing along. Other types of music like contemporary help me feel peaceful and relaxed, and help me fall to sleep at night sometimes. Types of music like traditional Celtic and folk music are fun because you can listen to the diversity from other cultures and they're fun to sing along with. The Beatles proved that music can change the world. It gives people a break from the struggles and stress of life. It can also be inspirational and change people's perspectives and opinions of life and the world around them.
ReplyDeletei personally listen to all types of music, wether its country, pop, soul, rap, or even christian. My favorite is probably country. I like to listen to music because every song has a meaning behind it. And somehow I am able to relate to what they are going through or overcoming... what ever it might be. Music is so appealing to me probably because I start to listen and sing, and I begin to let everything go and I'm just in the moment. Yes, i do believe music can change or world. It gives people a break from the struggles and stress of life. It can also be inspirational and change people's perspectives and opinions of life and the world around them.
ReplyDeleteI listen to all types of music. I honestly don't have a favorite kind. I like music in general, but of course if it is seriously insulting to a race or gender, I refuse to listen to it. And not all raps are bad. I love listening to music. It makes me happy, and I don't really have another reason to like it other than I just do. I honestly can't say why I like music so much. I believe that music can change the world. Inspirational music especially. Music that is catchy and you can't get out of your head and that spreads an idea, whether positive or negative, can really effect the world (mostly the young people).
ReplyDeleteI am different from most 12 year olds. I like modern music like songs by Maroon 5 or Jason Derulo. I am different though because most of the music I listen to is by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, or Elvis Presley. My favorite bad is actually the Beatles. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!! I listen to this kind of music because I love the feeling it gives me. You can just feel the beat inside of you, I also just love listening to music for it's sound. It is appealing to me because yo can do so many things with it such as dance to it, sing with it, and maybe even just hum to it. I do think that music can change the world. In many songs the lyrics are very inspiring and if you listen to those kind of songs they might inspire you to to do good. Just look at the effect the Beatles had on the world. They inspire many people around the world, including me. I hope the Beatles music stays in our history for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to pop and rock'n'roll music. Listening to that kind of music makes me happy. It makes me forget about all the worries and problems I have. I like to listen to music. Music is appealing because it brings out the fun and happiness inside of you. It makes you relax. Music can definitely change the world. It makes people just have fun and forget about there differences. It also can motivate you to do things. When I have to clean my room I always put on music. It is more fun to be singing along to music while putting things, than it is without it. It makes cleaning my room not so bad. :)
ReplyDeletewhile putting things away*
ReplyDeleteI like a bunch of different music, from Jimmy Buffet to Kenny Chesney to Eminem, I have a wide range of music that I listen to. I think music could very possibly change the world we live in because all the music you listen to gives you and image of who you are. I really don't have a favorite type of music. I like to listen to music before a sporting event like traveling to a baseball game, I find I perform better when I listen to music before a game. I really don't know why it is so appealing but I know I like listening to music.
ReplyDeleteI listen to lots of music classical when i'm relaxing, Dub step when i'm gaming, pop when i'm on the internet, and rock and roll when i'm hanging out with my parents. Yes I love music!!!! Why, because it defines who we are and how we feel in many situations. It's appealing to many people again because it brings out your emotions and feelings in many subjects. Absolutely without music the world would't be the same because it has an effect on everyone without music we couldn't express our feelings and thoughts the same and that is why music could change the world.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, I love to listen to classical music. I find that without lyrics you can focus on the music and it's tempo without trying to memorize lyrics. I like to listen to music when I have had something that really impacts my life because I can let myself go and forget that I'm sad or unhappy. Music can absolutely change the world. In a time of suffering the fact that we can make it out and come bak from just one song being played over the radio is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI usually like to listen to country but i also like a little bit of pop. I listen to music because its kind of a modivation for me. Whether it's getting fired up for a football game or trying to go to sleep. I think music can bring out the best of people and that it is a different language that we all speak in a different way. Music can definitly change the world. With one song and one artist the whole world could wake up and strive for the best we can possibly be.
ReplyDeleteI listen to all different types of music. I really enjoy most music from pop to country to alternative to rap. My favorite type of genre is probably country or alternative. I just feel like these type of music have a meaning behind them that I can actually relate to. I love to listen to music. It improves my mood. Whenever I am feeling stressed or sad, I can just listen to music and feel relaxed instantly. Music is so appealing to me because it calms me down and makes me happy. Music can change the world because it gives people a good feeling. It is proven that people who play an instrument tend to have higher grades as well. Music can relax people in a great way which is important in all of our lives.
ReplyDeleteI listen to pop and some rap. I listen to these because I love Micheal Jackson and he is the King of Pop. I like rap because when I was little my dad listened to it and so I feel in love with it. I think it is appealing because it blocks the whole world out and makes you feel better. I think it can change the world because it tells a story and can help with peoples problems.
ReplyDeleteI listen to pop, country, some rap, and hip hop. I listen to this music because I like the beat and tempo and how each song has its own meaning and feeling. I like to listen to music because it calms me down and gives me something to listen to while doing homework. It is so appealing because each different artist that wrote the song, wrote the song to portray a special message to the listener. The message can be different for each listener, but in every song there is at least one message. I think music can change the world because the lyrics tell some story that can change people's opinions in life and then the world can become a better place.
ReplyDeleteI listen to country, classical (I LOVE classical music), pop, and rap. But, I would have to say that country is my favorite because it is really clean in words and it is just the style that I love. And, it varies in types of country-upbeat to slow. It really gives a story and explains something. Not a lot of people like country music because they don't think it is upbeat, but it really is in its own way. But, again, the main reason why I listen to it is because of the story behind each song. I love listening to music because it lets me get away from all of the stress and worries in my life and takes me to a different world of music. I think that music definitely can influence the world because of the influence of the people that sing the songs. For example, say One Direction liked tacos, that could influence their fans to like tacos.. :) Anyway, yes, I definitely think that music could influence and change the world. Kind of like Elizabeth mentioned about Macklemore's song Same Love, he is saying that we shouldn't be anti-gay/lesbian. He is putting a message out saying what he believes in and that will definitely influence his fans to believe in what he believes-well, some, if not a lot. So, music can definitely change and influence the world.
ReplyDeleteI listen to lots of different kinds of music but my favorites are alternative, pop, and country. I like alternative because it tells a story and most the alternative songs have a story I can relate to. I like pop because it is really fun songs that make you feel happy and are really upbeat. I grew up listening to a lot of country and my mom and dad both love country so I just have always loved it and listened to it. Most of the songs I have have meaning to them.some songs reminds me of a person or and event and others tell a story I can relate to. I listen to music because it makes me feel good and and it is a way of shutting out the world. It makes me feel happy and good. Songs tell stories that can hep people with their problems.
ReplyDeleteI listen to a lot of different kinds of music but my favorites would either be pop and rap. Pop and rap can have a lot of meanings behind the lyrics which I like a lot. I can sometimes relate to it and they are just really meaningful. I love listening to music because for one I'm a dancer so I dance to a lot of different kinds of genres and it makes me feel free and I can forget the rest of the world. Music is so appealing because it has stories that people can relate to. A lot of time music can help people through rough times in their life. Yes, music can change the world. Actually I think music has already changed the world. Whoever came up with music changed the world. After they had come up with it, people started making more and more which turned into more genres of music. People who listen to music become more happy and they just enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI don't listen to music that much and when I do it is usually in the car. I don't really have a favorite kind music. I just get too distracted when doing something and listening to music. I just listen to what is on the radio.I think music can change the world. If a popular person says something or has it a song people ideas and thoughts could change.A singer can help the world be informing people about problems we have on earth. They could also effect the world negatively by tell us things that aren't true.
ReplyDeleteI listen to rap and indie. I like to listen to these types of music because rap inspires me to do something greater in the world. I like to listen to indie because I listen to the lyrics and I can relate to them. I don't think music can change the world. Music is appealing because it makes me feel relaxed.
ReplyDeleteI listen to rap and pop. I listen to this music because it just feels right to me. I like to listen to music because it makes me feel alive. Yes, because if everyone gets the feeling that I get when I am listening to music everyone would get so much done and they would feel good.
ReplyDeleteI listen to pop, a little bit of rap, some country music, and some calming music. I like listening to music because it helps me get away from the rest of the world and just listen. I usually listen to songs that I can relate to and notice what the people are actually singing about. Music is a great way to calm myself down and just relax. Music can change the world, Music has already changed the world because it is a way for people to get away from their problems and just listen and be quiet.
ReplyDeleteI listen to country and pop because i can get when i do any physical activity it pumps me up and gets me ready for a game. Music can't change the world one song isn't going to solve world hunger, or stop ice caps from melting
ReplyDeleteI listen to mostly pop. I listen to this music because I am not very interested in any other kind and it gets me pumped up for games and such. I do like to listen to music because, like I said before it pumps me up. It is so appealing because it hypes you up. Music has the possibility to change the world, but most likely not because it would take A LOT.
ReplyDeleteI listen to a variety of different music.But I mostly listen to pop and rap. I can relate with music and it helps me deal with my problems.I often listen to music before my soccer games to get ready and pumped. Its very appealing to me because it can block the whole world out. I defiantly think that music can change the world
ReplyDeleteI pretty much like all kinds of music except classical and really bad rap. I like rap but sometimes people can go too far. I think my favorites are country and pop. I absolutely love Blake Shelton because he can literally sing about anything. I listen to him when I am sad or going through a difficult time and he just makes me happy. I like music so much because you can tune out the rest of the world and just go into your own little bubble, where you can hear no one. I really hate silence and music provides kind of a back round sound (I'm listening to music right now). I definitely think music can change the world because it can change me sometimes and im sure if music can change me, it can change somebody else in the world.
ReplyDeletePop is my favorite kind of music by far. Some of the concepts in the music is a bit suggestive but I listen to it because of beat and rhythm is nice. I like listening to music because it is an outlet. It is almost as if the song sings out what you are feeling sometimes. I think music can change the world. It is a way to truly express yourself and with that you can say the things you truly believe.
ReplyDeleteI like lots of types of music but my very favorite is country. I listen to it all the time. Music brings out your real self. For me I dont know what I would do with out music. I do it when I do my homework, when I go out and run, and when I shoot baskets. Music can most definitely change the world because it brings out my personality and it can bring someone else's personality out.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite type of music is country. Its because I grew up to that kind of music, its kinda really important to me in some way. I love to listen to music it makes me forget about my problems and to just calm down. It is very appealing because so many people love music and can listen to music for hours. I believe music can change the world because of how it can change a persons mood or how they feel. Music fills the soul with happiness.
