@GiovanniSylves1 #MUS2011W21 Hey Giovanni, I agree with your point! With how much easier it is to access all kinds of music today, listening to the radio is not as common as it once was for many people.

@Ellis20Liam #MUS2011W21 Hi Liam, interesting point! I would add that people are not listening to the radio as often now as when the quota was first introduced. This makes the CanCon regulations less effective now.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

#MUS2011W21 I do not feel it is still necessary to enforce a quota of Canadian content. There has been a considerable amount of successful Canadian artists since the implementation of the CanCon regulations, therefore Canadian music is more likely to be played now than before.

@KaceyHutton4 #MUS2011W21 I agree! I feel older music was better fitted to be covered live, which seems to not be the case as much today with the popularity of EDM.

@chg881 #MUS2011W21 It is hard to completely agree with Wald's point of view, but you make a good point about the technology. With things like streaming services it is way easier to listen to music today than it used to be.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

#MUS2011W21 I agree with Wald to some extent as it seems that younger pop fans prefer to listen to the studio version of songs. I feel this is due to a lot of pop music being made electronically unlike older bands that used instruments making live performances more entertaining.

@EmmaRandell5 #MUS2011W21 I agree, while the cover versions by white artists do not have a lot of value in terms of talent, it definitely has historic value for music and should not be dismissed.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

@TyFrench8 #MUS2011W21 I agree, the way white artists covered these songs really exemplifies how society looked at that time in history.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

#MUS2011W21 I believe the reason this music is considered "schlock" is due to the fact that it committed cultural theft and that the renditions were also lacking in talent. I do not think the music should be totally dismissed as it reflected North American society at the time.

@hmc2001 #MUS2011W21 I agree, Ray Charles' use of a breaking voice did a great job of letting him express more emotion in his music, it also made his sound very distinctive!

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

@brookesquiress #MUS2011W21 I agree, Ray Charles' use of a breaking voice definitely made his music much more memorable and it helped in conveying emotion.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

#MUS2011W21 I feel Ray Charles used a breaking voice in songs like "I've got a Woman" because it made his sound more distinctive and it shows that he wanted to put emphasis on certain lyrics to create emotion in the song.

@scbrake #MUS2011W21 I agree! As a collector of CDs the convenience of listening to albums on streaming services before purchasing is great, and it allows your collection to only consist of your absolute favourites.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

@NickKehoe13 #MUS2011W21 Great point! I find myself making playlists of only certain songs when I first discover an artist rather than actually listening to their albums in their entirety. I would not be surprised to see artists give up on releasing complete albums in the future.

[Mitchell White @Mitchell_White7]

#MUS2011W21 Streaming services, such as Spotify, have allowed me to be introduced to countless artists and genres that I otherwise may not have been. While I typically use streaming services, I still enjoy collecting CDs to have something more tangible to possess.
