Joni Mitchell's blue album is really good her voice to me is amazing. When you first started playing her album I wasn't for sure if I liked it because her voice changed pitch a lot but as we kept listening it got better and i grew to really her. She has such an amazing range in her voice and can sing every note really well. The whole album was good but one of the songs that stood out to me was the song that was talking about California I think she did a really good job on that song with the guitar and vocals. I would definitely listen her more I think she is a good artist and even better that she can write her own music. 
Off David Bowie and Parliaments albums I was actually surprised how many songs of theirs I knew. Their music has been sampled so many times and is still played today. I have herd so many of their songs but I had only heard an couple of the original ones. There had been so many covers of the songs that I hadn't heard some of the originals. It is crazy to think that you are listening to this music and you don't even know who the original artist is.

I really like Matt & Kim because I always love there beats to their songs they are upbeat. One of my favorite songs by them is Daylight because I think it is really fun to sing along. I also really like the singers voice because I think it sounds good with the background music.

I can't believe we already listened to the last Beatles album. None of their albums failed to empress me. I don't think I ever got bored with a single one of their twelve albums. Their songwriting was great in every single album. My favorite song in this last album is probably of course Let it Be it is just so good. You can hear so many version of that song still today.

I really love when people duet and harmonize in a song that's why I really like the song Little Talks. They both have really good voices and their voices go really good together. I also really like the beat to this song it is very upbeat. One thing about them is that they are just as good live as they are in the actual album. I sounds the exact same. I really like when bands can sound good live it just makes them that much better to me and makes me want to listen to them more.

I thought the movie on copyright was very interesting I really enjoyed watching it because it put another prospective on copyrighted music. I don't think copyright is stupid I some aspects because I think people should be able to remix music. I think it is very creative because you have to get the beat and the words to match up just right you have to be really good with music. I like remixes because I like when people pull different music from different genres and make it mesh well. If I was an artist I wouldn't want copyright on my music because I think it would just be cool for people to be listening to my music. Plus I would want to be able to hear what people could do with my song and how good people are at what they do to inspire me to make more.

Black Sabbath was pretty good considering that it is kind of metal sounding. I usually don't really like metal music but I thought that black Sabbath was pretty good because of the the guitarist. I really do like all music except for most metal. Everything else to me sound fine to me and I can tolerate. I don't like most metal because it sounds like they are just banging on their interments and screaming. It too loud of everything going on at once.
I just recently discovered Penny and Sparrow because someone on facebook said if you haven't heard this band you should go check it out. They are an austin based band and it is just to guys one on the guitar and one singing. I really like listening to them when I am in a relaxed mood because it is a lot of slow songs. I think the singer has a really good voice and the guitarist is really good too.
