Blues

We know that blues means blues, which means bitterness and melancholy in English. Although jazz includes black music, British songs, French dance music, etc., blues is the main component of jazz. Blues was produced earlier than jazz, and may have been a combination of field chants sung by black people in the second half of the 19th century. Evolved from religious songs <> spiritual songs > and narrative ballads. The musical characteristics of blues mainly lie in the third and seventh steps of the major scale, and sometimes the fifth step. These flat notes have minor tonal characteristics, and they are often sung with a portamento. The vibrato sounds plaintive, sorrowful, and full of emotions, so some people translate blues as "songs of resentment." Of course, blues songs also have some happy and joyful works. The speed of blues is slow, and the beat is often four or two beats. The melody is in 44 beats and contains syncopated rhythms. The singing style of blues is very free and closely integrated with the language and emotions of life. Falsettos, moans, crying, and mumbling can all be used to enhance the atmosphere of blues, a lower-class society. The temperament brought to early jazz the characteristics of being closely connected with the lives of working people and black folk music.

punk

In 1976-1977, a punk rock revolution Greatly changed the music scene in Britain, for many reasons. On the one hand, Iggy Pop, a performer who had a profound influence on the growing reputation of the New York underground music singer, provided punk. There were many unique styles of clothing; ripped clothes, pinned up with a suitable iconoclastic image, while at the same time, the British pub became a place for young punk rock musicians to get their nourishment. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols frequented small concerts in Kilbourne and the Parkway pub. Joe Strummer of the Clash Joe Strummer first learned to play in the hard-rocking rhythm and blues band the 101ers. ??

Most young people were tired of the rock bands that dominated the charts in the 1970s. By the mid-1970s, there was a growing desire for change, although this sentiment was not clear at this time, but it was not until a number of major promoters, most prominently Malcolm McLaren, that the initial push came to light. This demand for change was evident as the protests turned into a musical revolution. By the end of 1976, McLaren was becoming well-known for his management of the Sex Pistols. The band was the vanguard of the British punk revolution. In the first half of 1976, the "Sex Pistols" performed regularly in London and began to arouse strong interest from the audience, not only because of the hoarse and noisy music they played, but also because their music was really exciting. Exciting, passionate, raw fast-paced rock and roll and roaring lyrics full of irony and protest blend into one another.

The lyrics of "Collision" also show the same strong sense of humor. It also showed a strong determination to expose hypocrisy. The band began to perform in London in the spring of 1976. The punk phenomenon flourished in the first half of 1976, reaching an early climax in September of the same year, at the Oxford Street Arena in London. The "100 Club" held a punk music festival, highlighting the "Sex Pistols" and "Crash" and other bands.

In November 1976, the "Crash" signed with CBS Records, and at the end of November "Sex". Pistol's first single, "Anarchy in the UK", was released by EMI Records. This was followed by a television interview with record publisher Bill Grundy, which famously ended with a gushing exclamation that made the Sex Pistols the most talked about band in the UK.

1977 was a watershed year: overnight there was a flood of new punk bands, many of them picking up instruments for the first time, and within 3 months the band's name appeared in "Roxy" (Roxy)'s program list shows that "Roxy" is London's main punk gathering place. Here, the image of the band "The Damned" looks like characters in horror movies, the music is fast and fierce, and Manchester's "Buzz" The Buzzcocks created a high-energy pop-punk style. The Jam unashamedly embraced modernist influences, and Siouxsie and the Banshees featured plaintive guitar anthems. In addition to these hugely famous bands with wildly different names, there were countless short-lived bands such as X-Ray Spex, fronted by the charming Poly Styrene, who made some Poor writing becomes popular. The band's left-wing stance and Lora Logic's characteristic plaintive saxophone playing created some of the more famous punk songs for frustrated young people, such as "Oh, Slave, Get Up" ( Oh Bondage, Up Yours, Identity and Warrior is Woolworths.

Jimmy Pursey's fierce rock band Sham 69 has also attracted attention for its political stance and its tribute to the 1970s "Oil" is indirectly responsible for the development of the musical style, and the band Generation Echoes of The Who's "My Generation."

The Adverts' "One Chord Wonders" was one of their most critically acclaimed songs; The current affairs-themed song "Looking Through Gary Gilmore's Eyes" entered the top 20. Other bands performing at the Roxy included Chelsea, 999, Eater (famous for its 14-year-old drummer Dee Generate), the Lurkers, the Vibrators and Australia's St. the Saints, the Slaughter and the Dogs, the oddly named Ed Banger and the Manchester-based Nosebleeds, as well as the band from County Durham "Penetration" (Penetration) band, the band has an outstanding and talented lead singer Pauline Murray (Pauline Murray).

The influence of the punk phenomenon extended beyond London, and even though it was now clear that "punk" had come to encompass a variety of developing musical styles, everyone involved generally felt "a distaste for any Feeling contempt for established values, taking pleasure in confrontation and disorder, cultivating a low spirit of individualism and lofty beliefs of curiosity in activities of a purely amateur nature.” So says one critic of the punk phenomenon.

The first major event in 1977 was that "Collision" specially conducted a tour called "White Riot" to promote the first album named after itself.

Also performing were the Jam, the Slits and Subway Sect. The Jam left midway through to promote their debut record, and the other two bands, whose styles were very much in tune with punk, were composed of unflappable beginners: the Cracks were all female members, and they were joined by Patti Smith at one point. ) met at a concert and decided to form a band, lead singer Arri Up (Arri Up) deliberately put on Jubilee brand semi-short bloomers over her wet-looking pants-the usual standard of femininity disgusted them. The Metro sang weird, avant-garde songs about alienation, but when singer Vic Godard was focused on BBC Two, the band started playing cocktail party jazz, eventually settling with Godard. They parted ways and formed the band "Jo Boxer".

Competition between bands was fierce, with bands such as The Sex Pistols and The Crash, produced by Malcolm McLaren, promoting their own ideological principles and lacking political sensitivity towards other British punk bands. Sexual dissatisfaction was deeply felt, especially by Curse, but when the album "New Rose" was released on Stiff, Curse became the first British band to have a national release. So for most of 1977, "Curse" toured all over the UK at a fast pace with their anarchic music.

Although many punk bands were initially reluctant to perform on the BBC TV program "Best Pop Songs" because they thought it was too commercial, many of them began to perform after their records were included in the list. Happy to be invited to appear on television, "Collision" is an exception. The show gave punk bands a national appearance and was partly responsible for the initial success of "Advertising," "The Clairvoyant" and "The Jam."

However, in the mainstream of British society, the status of punk rock is just a burp after people have had enough wine and food. The major event in the UK in 1977 was the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne. It was this At that time, the "Sex Pistols" once again became the center of controversy. During the celebrations in June, they released an irreverent single called "God Save the Queen" and released it on Ranked 2nd on the leaderboard. Virgin Records believes the record actually sold more than the number one song, "I Don't Want to Talk About It" by Rod Stewart, but in order not to embarrass Her Majesty the Queen , I had no choice but to prevent it from taking first place.

Malcolm's insistence that the Sex Pistols not play any clubs made the band even more paranoid, and despite - or perhaps because of - the Sex Pistols' troubles, punk made significant progress . Individual bands and independent record labels began to become popular and gain popularity, and many famous bands showed their extraordinary strength and left a deep impression on people.

But by the end of 1978, the punk revolution had completed its development process. The "Sex Pistols" disbanded in January 1978. Within the next year, other veteran bands of the punk revolution were not like " The Sex Pistols also broke up and began to develop musical styles that transcended the narrow confines of true punk. Some die-hard bands remain stubborn. But because they no longer belong to the mainstream of music, they were pushed to the margins together with some die-hard fans who supported them. Of course, punk was not willing to surrender and was still struggling, but there was no way back. By the mid-1980s, it was just It's just a peculiar form of music.

Although for a long time punk had little intrinsic impact on the record industry, which had succumbed to commerce rather than creative talent, it gave the industry a timely injection of much-needed excitement. Many bands of the time, if not strictly punk, benefited greatly from the enthusiasm generated by punk's peak.

If punk is memorable for anything, it is that it shattered the deified status of established rock musicians of the era and showed young people that anyone could pick up an instrument. Take the stage and make a valuable voice.

This factor alone broke down a host of musical barriers and paved the way for the rise of experimentalism and eclecticism that would later become important features of the musical landscape of the 1980s.
