"Creep"-Radiohead

Creep by Radiohead is an awesome song. It is very 90's sounding and is definitely a rock song. Radiohead strayed from rock and became very experimental later in their career. This song was at the beginning so it falls a lot more in the vein of Rock. The guitar effects are very grungy and dated in a really cool way. The lyrics are a lot darker than most rock music. This song goes softer and quiet in the beginning and then for the chorus goes all out with the guitar and vocals. This song portrays a mood and feeling super well. Something that their later more experimental albums perfect. In the song the lyrics are very self deprecating to the point its almost like self-harm, which is a common theme with grunge and 90's alternative. This is a really good song and I would highly recommend. -K.

"Psycho Killer" by The Talking Heads

 This song is so awesome to me. Before this my older brother showed me this song so there are some good memories associated with this song. I love how he is talking about killing people as a psycho killer in such a goofy song. He does so many little things with his voice that give the song so much melodramatic energy and humor. In the live performance video we watched he has a very peculiar way of dancing with his hips. They are all dressed in collared shirts and they fit the vibe so perfectly. This song is so interesting because it is portraying a schizophrenic murderer and his internal struggle. The bass is so heavy through the song driving it forward. The band all looked like very fun people to spend time with in the seventies. This song is so interesting and I love it. -K.

"Fortunate Son"-Creedence Clearwater Revival

 November 1st has always been my oldest brothers favorite date. I am not really sure why but it is a cool date. I spent this whole summer with him in Hawaii and we listened to this song what feels like every day. It is an awesome song with a lot of emotion and history tied to it. It was written during the Vietnam war and talks about how he is not fortunate and will have to go fight. It is used patriotically which is funny because it is actually protesting a lot about America. Creedence Clearwater Revival are an awesome band with a lot of good music. This song is no exception. I just love this song because I think of driving around in my brothers car and working in the Taco truck with him. This song is also a meme which is pretty funny. I think that makes the song even better because it has an element of humor to our generation. This song embodies so much frustration and fighting spirit I think everyone feels. It is especially present in young guys. The guitar settings are so crisp ...
