The history of rock

Write a 10 page paper (not including end notes/bibliography) describing the place and influence of your chosen band within the history of rock and on stylistic changes in rock history. You must include musical description and important features of four songs by the band. Your paper will critique the role of these influential songs on the development of style within the particular decade they are found and in the overall history of rock. Your conclusion will include an analysis of how forward-looking ideas originate in the artistic community and how their influence is transmitted to future artists.
If you write about a song or performer/band that was discussed in class during the semester, you must still cite all information and you must include more information above and beyond what was talked about in class.
Do not use seconds and minutes to explain what happens in the song (ie: “at 1:47 the keyboard is replaced by the electric guitar, then it solos for exactly 32 seconds”). Remember to write in detail about each song and provide a persuasive argument for each song as to why it is important in rock history. This paper is not a re-telling of the material you learned in class this semester. You must provide notes and a bibliography at the end of the paper. Any bibliographic style may be used, but the style must be consistent.
Papers that do not contain a bibliography will not earn points for this assignment.
A few things to keep in mind:
•Do not use a title/cover page or include photos or drawings, etc.
•Song titles are capitalized and placed in quotes: “I’m Only Sleeping”
•Album titles are underlined: Pet Sounds
•Band names are not placed in quotes or italics: The Temptation

•Decades do not possess anything. Correct: 1950s or ‘50s

Incorrect: 1950’s or 50’s
•Dates should look like this: October 4, 1970 – not – October fourth, nineteen- •Genres are not capitalized seventy
•Instruments are not capitalized
•Do not place extra space between paragraphs
•Lyrics do not need to be cited
•If you include lyrics to a song or a quote that totals FIVE LINES OR MORE, please follow these instructions for block quotes: indent five extra spaces after the tab, no “quotation marks” and single space. For example:

I’m a flea-bit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That’s not really true
I’m a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
What you do?
•If lyrics are four lines or less, include them in the body of the paragraph with quotation marks. For example: “But I’ve been bit and I’ve been tossed around by every she-rat in this town. Have you, babe?”
