Music

Disco- Blondie: I always loved Blondie. I thought her voice was unique and beautiful. My parents always loved here too (probably where I get it from). It is amazing that she is still performing today. She used a lot of electronic instruments in her music

Nineties- Radiohead: I first started listening to Radiohead because of my brother. I have always thought of them as very talented musically. Again they are a band that has lasted through time. They still have a huge following because of their sound. They used a lot of effects through their instruments, although not so much in the song I chose.

Punk- The Ramones: The Ramones have the sound I think of when I think punk. I believe they are one of the most influential bands to come from the Punk movement. Their use of distortion in the guitars and echo of vocals is an unmistakable sound.

Dubstep- Awolnation: I feel like Awolnation is the only mainstream Dubstep band. Meaning I first heard them on the radio, where they are the only ones. I think the mix of electronic and lyricism set them apart from other groups.

House Influencers- B-52's: This bad has probably the most unique sound out of any band in my opinion. I can remember dancing to "Love Shack" many of times and "Rock Lobster" was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar. They mix 50's beach rock with electronic. That mixed with a lead singers with a "weird" vocal style makes them unmistakable.

Punk- The Misfits: The Misfits are a group that are trendsetters in my opinion. They made a stamp on the culture of punk.  They have many different sounds depending on who was in the band at the time. They have had different singers such as Dan Zig and Jerry Only. Today people still wear Misfits shirts even if they have no idea who they are. Their music is heavily distorted like any good punk band.
