This course will begin a conversation, continued in MUS281, concerning the impact of rock, pop, and soul music from 1927 (the date of the so-called Bristol Sessions) through 1969 (the year of the polar-extreme musical festivals Woodstock and Altamont), analyzing the music itself, how culture shaped it, and how it shaped culture i.e., from both a musical and sociological perspective. Genres covered include the various blues subsets (country blues, jump blues, urban blues), country and western, rockabilly, the music of the folk revival, the music of the teen idols, sweet soul, the music of Motown, southern soul, and psychedelia. Special emphasis will given to the development of the youth subculture, which emerges in the 1940 s and explodes in the aftermath of WWII.

It can be argued that nothing has changed the fabric of American society over the past 50+ years more than the emergence of rock and roll music as a viable form of musical expression, from both a financial and an artistic standpoint. This class will explore the agent of change from both a sociological and a musical perspective--emphasizing the connection between the 'new' teen-agers of the 1950s and 60s and their music--and analyze its impact on the commonly held attitudes and values of the day, both during the music's inception and throughout the 60s, 70s, and beyond. We will also study the evolution of rock and roll music, and its various subsets, from Elvis to the Beatles to psychedelic rock to pink to MTV to hip hop.

This course will continue the conversation begun in MUS280, which covered rock, pop, and soul through 1969. In this part-two course, we will study the music from 1970 and beyond itself, how culture shaped it, and how it shaped culture i.e., from both a musical and a sociological perspective. Genres covered include funk, disco, reggae, punk, new wave, and grunge, among others. Because hip hop culture in the 21st century has become pervasive in ways no one could have predicted in 1979 (generally recognized as the date of the first rap song), we will spend a significant time looking at various aspects of hip hop.
