John Lennon Lennon's signature John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a founder member of rock group the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music. With Paul McCartney, he formed a songwriting partnership that is one of the most celebrated of the 20th century. Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings, on film and in interviews. Controversial through his political and peace activism, he moved to Manhattan in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while some of his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture.

Discography[edit] Studio albums[edit] Singles[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Led Zeppelin Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Led Zeppelin foi uma banda britânica de rock, formada em Londres em setembro de 1968. A banda consistia no guitarrista Jimmy Page, o vocalista Robert Plant, o baixista e tecladista John Paul Jones e o baterista John Bonham. Com o seu som pesado de guitarra, e o som de blues rock de seus dois primeiros álbuns, o Led Zeppelin é frequentemente reconhecido como um dos progenitores do hard rock e heavy metal. Álbuns posteriores do grupo visaram uma experimentação maior e foram acompanhados por extensos recordes e concertos que renderam à banda uma reputação pelos seus excessos e a sua devassidão. Led Zeppelin é amplamente considerado como um dos grupos de rock mais bem sucedidos, inovadores e influentes da história.

Audio Analysis of the Beatles Multitrack Masters While digging through Usenet, I stumbled on these three unidentified tracks that pick apart three of the Beatles' original multitrack masters, isolating and highlighting pieces from "She's Leaving Home," "A Day in the Life," and "Come Together." It's an astounding, and very listenable, glimpse into their recording process. Update: Removed the downloads, see update below. Multitrack Analysis of She's Leaving HomeMultitrack Analysis of A Day In the LifeMultitrack Analysis of Come Together Unfortunately, I don't have any information about the source. Update: It's from a BBC Radio 6 program called The Record Producers, hosted by Richard Allinson and Steve Levine, that aired last month. January 16, 2012: I was politely contacted by Steve Levine, creator of The Record Producers, who politely asked me to remove the sound clips. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any legal way to purchase or listen to these recordings, and likely won't for some time.
Creedence Clearwater Revival Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American rock band active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style encompassed the roots rock and swamp rock genres. Despite their San Francisco Bay Area origins, they portrayed a Southern rock style, with lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other popular elements of Southern American iconography, as well as political and socially-conscious lyrics about topics including the Vietnam War.[1] History[edit] The Blue Velvets/The Golliwogs: 1959–1967[edit] John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook (all born in 1945) met at Portola Junior High School in El Cerrito, California. Band roles changed during this period. Early success: 1967–1968[edit] In 1966, the group suffered a setback when John Fogerty and Doug Clifford were drafted into military service. Timeline
The Doors The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, which itself was a reference to a William Blake quotation, from his famous work The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."[3] They were among the most controversial, influential and unique rock acts of the 1960s and beyond, mostly because of Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973.[4] The band, their work, and Morrison's celebrity continue to be considered inexorably embedded within the larger counterculture of the 1960s.[10][11][12][13][14] History[edit] 1965–68[edit] Debut album[edit]
Doc Watson / Earl Scruggs / Ricky Skaggs / Alison Krauss : Banks Of The Ohio Dido Dido's first two albums are among the best-selling albums in UK Chart history, and both are in the top 10 best-selling albums of the 2000s in the UK.[4] Her third studio album Safe Trip Home (2008), received critical acclaim but failed to duplicate the commercial success of her previous efforts.[5] She was nominated for an Academy Award for the song "If I Rise".[6] Dido was ranked No. 98 on the Billboard chart of the top Billboard 200 artists of the 2000s (2000–2009) based on the success of her albums in the first decade of the 21st century.[7] Dido made a comeback in 2013, releasing her fourth studio album Girl Who Got Away, which reached the Top 5 in the United Kingdom. To be called one thing and christened another is actually very confusing and annoying. It's one of the most irritating things that my parents did to me. ... Florian is a German man's name. That's just mean. Dido started working on her third album in October 2005 in Los Angeles.
