@DaniyalMumtaz 2/2 There are also streaming platforms with algorithms that are catered towards tastes. Some artists will struggle more than others. That is the nature of life. It doesn't mean one artist is more deserved than another, the tastes and musical trends of society dictate popularity

@DaniyalMumtaz 1/2Although it is an interesting point Muhammad, I have to disagree that setting quotas on Canadian artists is a good thing. Disruption is a wonderful thing for evolution and innovation. That being said, I feel that this idea undermines capitalism which many people think is evil

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@Shea_89 Although I think it is an interesting concept, I have to disagree that a quota system is a good idea for Canadian Artists and music in general. There is a reason supply and demand exist. By creating a quota on Canadian content, we override this.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

2/2 #mus2011f20 the artists which align with my tastes.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

1/2 #mus2011f20 Although it is an interesting idea, I do not think having a Canadian Artists quota is necessary. There are plenty of amazing artists from Canada that were discovered without a quota system. Also with streaming platforms and algorithms, I am listening to

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@dag98mun #MUS2011F20 I also echo those sentiments. I think both aspects are important. Each has a different emotional resonance and an entirely different experience.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@SMusic2011 Interesting points Sam. I think both experiences have their own individual emotional connection and are each an important part of the collective fabric of music and art. The live experience is an exhibition of this #mus2011f20

#MUS2011F20 Although I think Wald's statement is compelling, I do not think you can look at cover bands being inherently worse than the recorded track. I feel that it is apples and oranges per se. Both have their inherent qualities.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@SheldonRyan1 #MUS2011F20 I totally agree Sheldon. The music in that era, although Schlock- probably as you said was primarily for economic gain by the recording companies. This is not to say that the cover cannot still pay respect to the original and perhaps breathing a new perspective

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@SamJacobson19 #MUS2011F20 Although we all have our own perspective, I have to disagree with it being theft. If it is a verbatem carbon copy, perhaps; however, I see covers as a way to pay homage to the original. Both have their own artistic value relevant to the culture of their time

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

#MUS2011F20 Although Schlock music does appropriate the original, I do not see it as cultural theft provided that the original artist is paid homage and is recognized in its creation. I believe once we release art into the world, it is no longer ours.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@SheldonRyan1 #MUS2011F20 Interesting points Sheldon. I also believe that Ray used the breaking voice in the same manner- to convey emotion and to create a unique sound( but I do believe they were natural to him) not necessarily a purposeful manner. Almost like riffing with a guitar

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@DaniyalMumtaz #MUS2011F20. Very interesting points Muhammad. I also believe that Ray was definitely channeling his emotions and did separate himself from mainstream music, but I think it was his natural style which came out as opposed to being forced or coerced or trying to copy another singer

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

#MUS2011F20 I think Ray Charles used a breaking voice because it was a part of the fabric of his musical DNA. It was his individualized style choice. I think it was natural to him. It may have set him apart and showed his emotions, but I think it wasn't necessarily intentional

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@JordanPomeroy @SheldonRyan1 #MUS2011F20 Also an interesting point Jordan. Technology has given us the ability to access and download music for much less. There were times when there were only records and then cd's. Now we have the ability to listen to pretty much anything

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@SheldonRyan1 #MUS2011F20 That's a very interesting point of view. Technology has exposed people to much more music than they would have in previous generations. This influences the artists and the listener. This causes new music to be created.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

#MUS2011F20 mp3 technology has totally changed the way I have accessed and looked at music, but has also shaped the way I look at the world. It and technology exposed me to a lot more music . Before my first ipod I either had to listen to music via a cd player or on my computer

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@MatthewHoyles3 That’s a very interesting point Matthew. There is a false pretence created by larger labels that bigger is better; being signed to a larger label increases exposure and is a testament to success. There can also be a huge impact on artist individuality and the creative process.

[Ryne King @king_ryne]

@MCumben99 The music industry has commodified music, which makes it more about the bottom line, than art and the creation of a meaningful thought provoking connection between artist and listener. I agree a lot of the musical structure especially in top 40 music is much the same #MUS2011F20
