Rock Music 可以成为音乐系学生的论文课题,我只知道皮毛, 对乐器更是一窍不通。今天别针妈提到六十年代到八十年代是Rock Music的黄金时代,正好我最喜欢的三首Rock Music分处这三个年代,所以忍不住上来贴一贴。
1960s was about Beatles, I know, however overrated you may think they are. 第一次听Beatles, 我听出了一丝纯真(innocence),这感觉从来没有消失, 但Come Together(1969)让我相信他们是一支Rock Band.
1970s British Invasion 继续。Led Zeppelin风格更为硬朗,属于Hard Rock范畴。1975年的Kashmir是我的最爱,曲子深受印度,中东和北非音乐的影响,很有异域风情。
我欣赏的流行乐评人ANN POWERS对个人心爱的音乐有一段精辟的评论:What do our secret love prove? Not the taste we share and debate; not our place in the world. Instead, this intensity connects to the aspects of ourselves we don't totally choose. They point toward the sweet-or-salty preferences that brain chemistry determines, and the web of affinities that begin in childhood and unfold over a lifetime. Secret loves explain why many of us turned to art in the first place, as a refuge, a defining factor, a motivational factor. They're worth revealing.
