@JasminePurcell6 Although I think the quota would help preserve Canadian culture I do agree with your point. A radio stations line up should depend on popularity and not an artists nationality. Enforcing a quota may mean the same popular artists get replayed to please listeners. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

@PollettSamuel I agree! Even though our generation largely discovers new music online it would be impossible to regular these platforms. The least we can do is enforce a quota on radios to give Canadian artists support in there own communities. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

Although the use of online platforms has changed the way artists reach their audience I see value in keeping the quota. Keeping Canadians on our radios will support our culture and gives local artists a chance to be aired in a market saturated by American pop music. #MUS2011F20

@SamJacobson19 I agree that stating “virtually all” is an overstatement. Our easy access to recorded music may lead to the conclusion that all our generation prefers it. But, I know there are many that would prefer attending live concerts with friends, even if it is a cover band. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

@JasminePurcell6 Although I agreed with Walds opinion I do agree with you that nothing can replace the atmosphere of listening to a live performance. The ability to listen to your favourite music with others that share your interests is irreplaceable. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

I agree, our generation prefers listening to music privately over live artists. Although I see value in the experience of live music nothing beats having your favourite music playing in your own home. Music’s not just a social event but a accompaniment to our lives. #mus2011f20

@OzonZack Although I agree that schlock music shouldn’t be dismissed entirely I think it does reflect poorly on the cover artist. Using the orginal artists cultural expression to capitalize without your own creativity should be dismissed. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

Recycling an artists music by “white washing” it to appeal to a white teen audience should definitely be considered the “Schlock” that occurred during this period. An artists cultural expression threw there lyrics, texture and timbre should not be overridden. #mus2011f20

@JakeHoskinsMUN @JamieCarew6 I agree, without credit given to the original artist the artists of these covers should not be allowed to claim the music as there own. #mus2011f20

@Shea_89 I agree, Ray Charles stood out as a artist. Adding the layer of emotion through voice breaks has made his music relatable and memorable. So unforgettable that he still has many fans today. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

@RebeccaMyles8 Ray Charles is a great example that it is possible to become a popular artist while staying true to your unique style. His uniqueness worked in his favour making him memorable and leading to his successful career. #MUS2011F20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

I think Ray Charles incorporated a breaking voice into his distinct style as a way to emphasize emotion. Breaking his voice gives a more edgier performance which is unique experience to make him standout. #mus2011f20

@AaronDyke11 I agree the availability of music has forever changed the industry. It has made it easier to find your musical identity but with music virtually free with internet access I wonder how much it has affected the artists. I have noticed the added pressure for new albums. #MUS2011F20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

@courtneypinsent I agree, the ability to keep your music private via headphones had a huge impact on finding my musical identity. Prior to my first iPod my only options were listening to my CD player or through my family computer. Both made exploring new music a public affair. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

My first iPod played the biggest role in finding my musical identity. I had access to all types of music and could find what I liked. The portability allowed me to listen to music throughout my day and share music will friends to find others with similar interests. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

@GaryBro66882964 I agreed with you, in today’s society the amount of views or plays a music video/song gets when released is also a major measurement of its success. Another huge factor of “success” is their following on social media and the extent of their “fandom”. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

@MCumben99 @SamJacobson19 I agree that the easy access to new music allows for constant exploration but I also think the push to find new music is making it less common for younger generations to be open in expressing an interest in “older” music. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

In many ways our generation is passively listening to the same 20 hit songs on repeat but I believe we are in a unique place in history. We have complete free access to the entire library of music in our hands. In theory this should allow us the most musical freedom. #mus2011f20

[Kaytlin Cole @ColeKaytlin]

The media industry has fostered the false need for an artist to stay within their genre and pump out consistent hits. The pressure to produce new music has watered down the artists expression resulting it pop hits with the same sound and message. #mus2011f20
