Rock is Changing

In class we listened to Revolution which is kind of the beginning of The Beatles growing into genius song writers and expert players. And their growth is a result of the master peice Pet Sounds release. Pet Sounds had much more orchestrated music along with even better harmonies and melodies than The Beatles had. Brian Wilson is genius for this album and he doesn't get anywhere near as much credit as he deserves for it.

And John, Paul, George, and Ringo responded with Revolver which kind of showed that they could make the orchestrated sounds its just they had already been half way done once Pet Sounds was released. The best song on Revolver in my mind is Eleagnor Rigby because although it is overplayed and over sang and over done.... its a god damn masterpeice. I'm just so excited once we start listening to even harder stuff thats more complicate, more rebellious, and more meaningful. I'm pumped to start listening to Sgt. Peppers, Sabbath, and the guitar god Hendrix.

Here is a comparison of how much rock changed from 1965-1971

"Drive My Car" by The Beatles
