@AtkinsonDillan It was only a matter of time before HQ recordings of song would dominate the music market. Recordings were sounding more live by the years, and before people knew it, they essentially had live bands playing within their households thanks to better sound recorders and speakers.

@SheldonRyan1 I agree that live concerts are great and provide fresh versions of songs they may have already produced, but I still agree with Wald that the majority of people would rather just purchase a record of the song. Its far more convenient to buy a cd and listen to it whenever you want

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

#MUS2011F20 I agree with Wald that the majority of people would rather buy records than a live cover band. It's cheaper and easier for people to purchase a record to listen to the music, and you can also listen to it whenever you want to.

@SaraPPowell1 I think if a cover of a song is desired for a different audience, than they should get the original artist to do the cover. When covers are only made with the intention of gaining something (money, power, etc.), inspiration fails to make ends meet, resulting in "shlock rock".

@BrennenGormley ^ #MUS2011F20

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

@BrennenGormley I agree to a point. I think if someone is truly inspired by a song and wants to make a cover/similar song, that can be a good thing, but only as a tribute. In order for a cover to be good, the cover must recognize the awesomeness of the original song.

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

#MUS2011F20 I think the reason they referred to it as 'schlock rock' is because of how uninspired the covers were. It's easy to take somebody else's work and change it slightly. I feel like a lot of covers produced back than were done for profit, rather than inspiration.

@Moorgan_Cooper ^ #MUS2011F20

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

@Moorgan_Cooper Ray was able to show how professional of a singer he really is by smoothly moving from each note through his voice breaks. I agree with you and others that he also used it to accompany the emotions one might feel being in the same situation.

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

@SteveAMorrison2 He defiantly does set himself apart from similar artists. Goes to show you how professional he really was. He saw undesired techniques (voice breaking) as a way to set himself apart, and constructed it in such a way to sound pleasant to the ears. #MUS2011F20

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

#MUS2011F20 I think Ray Charles used a breaking voice to add uniqueness to his song. This is something not done very often as it's usually unpleasant to listen to. However, Ray manages to fit it in his song and make it sound good as it's accompanied by the upbeat instruments.

@MatthewHoyles3 #MUS2011F20 With features like "Discover Weekly" on Spotify, it also gives us the option to listen to new music that is recommended based on what we listen to. This allows users to find new artists and genres they may be into and wouldn't of found otherwise.

@DaniyalMumtaz #MUS2011F20 Bluetooth is the best invention since the drum set! I own a small Bluetooth speaker and I bring it with me everywhere. I can connect my phone and listen to my music and not have to keep my phone connected on a short wire.

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

#MUS2011F20 Development of music apps such as Spotify has greatly opened a new world for music listeners. They can get things like custom made playlists of new songs based on what you listen too. This might even open pathways to new genres of music and shape you music taste.

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

@SaraPPowell1 I couldn't agree more. I think the media creates false needs for specific music. to fit in with the cliques you need to listen to the same music as the group. What's popular and what is not is a huge false need.

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

@DaniyalMumtaz This is a good take. By always replaying the same song, it creates an illusion that the song is very popular, which in turn will makes the song become popular.

[DylanPower @dylan_power1]

#MUS2011F20 I think the Media had created the false need for music itself. Humans don't actually need music for survival. By replaying the same songs on the radio, it creates a false need for specific music to stay in with the clique.
