Top 11 Bands That Changed Music

Ok, so I think I'm gonna start doing lists. Of course, my first list has to be the obvious list of bands which changed rock history. This is mainly mainstream music, because it tends to have more of an influence on the direction of music. I'm talking about from the fifties to now, so don'tbe mad at me for not putting Mozart. So, without further ado...
11) The White Stripes: Jack White is bringing rock back to when it used to be about the music, and not the money. And the fact that they're mainstream helps to show everyone, not just highly enthused music listeners (such as myself), that music means passion, not just choreographing and brands.
Track to Try: 'Ball and Biscuit' or 'In My Pocket'
10) Talking Heads: Exploded into new wave and helped to create alternative rock as it is today. David Byrne knew what he was talking about and how to get the message through in his own cool/nerdy way.
Track to Try: 'This Must Be the Place'
9) Nirvana: Brought a new sense of meaning to music. Kurt Kobain and the others decided that music should be about more than love and moping around. Brought a definitive musical raunch to modern hard-rock and punk.
Track to Try: the obvious 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' or my personal Nirvana favourite 'Polly'
8) The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Brought poetry to music and mixed punk with funk to great success. Though their music has changed incredly at least twice, they have always been amazing and extremely poetic.
Track to Try: To get the whole feeling you need one from each generation. So start with 'True Men Don't Kill Coyotes', skip ahead to 'Funky Monks', and then listen to either 'Californication', or 'Snow (Hey Oh)'.
7) The Arcade Fire: Brought alternative music to the frontline and made it much easier for independent bands to get big. Also brought perfectionism to the sound of rock, as all of the corralation in the band is spot on, even live.
Track to Try: 'Rebellion (Lies)'
6) The Beastie Boys/Run DMC: Basicallybrought rap into the mainstream. Even though it had been in the underground for years, these bands introduced thousands of people to the new genre.
Tracks to Try: The Beastie Boys; 'Fight for Your Right' or 'Sabotage'; Run DMc; their version of 'Walk This Way' which they actually played with Aerosmith.
5) The Clash: Along with The Sex Pistols and The Ramones, invented punk in the seventies. Bringing a new connection betweenn the band and the fans (even letting fans sleep in their hotel rooms), this band made the music mean something.
track to Try: 'Clash City Rockers' or 'Spanish Bombs'
4) The Jimi Hendrix Experience: A very obvious choice, but a justified one. Any guitarist will admit to being at least somewhat influenced by Jimi Hendrix. He basically invented what we see now as the guitar solo. And he created a bond between a musician in his his instrument, even if he showed it by guitar sacrifice.
Track to Try: Anything really, but if you need guidance, check out 'Purple Haze'.
3) Bob Dylan/Neil Young: Brought politics into their music and made music a part of revolutions.
Tracks to Try: Bob Dylan; 'The Hurricane' Neil Young; 'Ohio'
2) The Beatles/The Rolling Stones: These bands changed rock from the merely dancy doowop of the fifties to the raunchier, more experimental music of the sixties. And you kind of have to include the two most famous rock bands into any list.
Tracks to Try: The Beatles; 'Rocky Racoon' The Rolling Stones; 'Paint it Black
1) Chuck Berry/Little Richard: Helped to invent rock and roll, and brought it into the big picture. Forever changed youth into a significant group of people. Without them we wouldn't even have the rest of the bands on this list.
Tracks to Try: Chuck Berry; 'Johnny Be Good' Little Richard; 'Tutti Frutti'

HEY!!!!!
Had a brilliantly vibrant weekend. Did a lot of fun stuff, including the obvious volunteering of the loeb. I'm happy, feeling glad. I replaced a snapped string on my stratocaster with an acoustic string! GASP! And I discovered a new band. The Raconteurs are a super-group lead by Jack White, of White Stripes fame. They kick more ass than a deceitful dog. Pick up their album, "Broken Boy Soldiers". T'is great.
So I want to just say, welcome to my deliciously decisive post.

Pants Running with no Bodies

I was thinking about world domination, and a frog jumped into my soup. I started to run, because Frogs can only mean two things, pillows. The two pillows collided midair and broke into prayer. I was amused and have now began worshipping hitch-hikers. When a car drives by, I jump up and down and shout "DON'T GET COLD" several times. I find it humours my aunt and so I go city-to-city, painting dreams onto chesterfields. I feel bad only if a lean-back chair is watching, sometimes I'll dance on it to make it feel better. People enjoy my quest for the truth, and often sing along. Though they sometimes rhyme with ancient kinkorian teddy bears, I enjoy the alter-egos of my numerous leaf friends. They realise that someone has to laugh for the cause, and by golly it should be them. I'm glad that eating perogies has effected people to realise that all their french words will soon become explosive and, if intoxicated, cause an overload of chanting towards lima beans. Eventually a day will come when a pizza will be president and I will read cross-eyed to prove my point. When that day comes, I nominate all the french teachers in the world to form together and create a super hybrid of a salad and a small lake. My shoes will decide upon the location, and if you want, we can all clap in a disorderly fashion until something happens. When that day comes, I will know the true meaning of pennies and dimes, maybe evan trees and cottages. But until that day comes, forever will I try my hardest to make every day memorable.

Don't You Know, I'm Talking a Random Post

Hey all you people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am pretty chilled, and chillaxing is hard to do. Billy Talent is coming to town, so hopefully I'll go see them. And I realised that Fred was lying to me when he said monkeys fly. I am kind of hurt by that, but I am content knowing that he's never ate cake. I am psyched by the prospect of my room being a crazy take on funky town, I mean, what can I say? My ceiling is flying, and there's nothing I can do about it. It is true that my dog is a superb singer, but sometimes I wish my toaster would provide her with a drumline. And just like that, I'm gone.

Intense Manipulation of the Mind

HEY YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So... true story, I was walking along the street yesterday when suddenly a rabid monkey jumped out of it's bungalow and attempted to teach me arithmetic. Needless to say, I lost. And now that monkey is happily married to a manic-depressive llama. Funny how life turns out.
Anyways, I was job-interviewed yesterday for the coliseum, and hopefully the'll see that I am the coolest guy ever and hire me. That way, I'll have money. I need to babysit in five minutes and I don't want to.
There is a zombie walk taking place this sunday. It sounds pretty fun. Basically, you dress up like a zombie and walk from a cemetary through downtown. I like zombies, so I'll probably go, I don't have a link, but just search zombie walk 2006 ottawa and you'll find it. Hope to see you there.
Well, I here my train a coming so I'm gonna have to leave you on that note.
