If the clubs make mistakes along the way, just take their time for think about their experiences. The clubs need to be willing to grow, learn and move on, for that rejection is very rampant in an industry where few people with a subjective (record labels, artists' agencies) decide the fate of the musical career of many. It should not be. The best advice for the underground clubs is to give each album and performance that is better than the last (Liu, et.al, 2011).

    The lasting effect on losing artists such as Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis, along with the problems in the personal lives of Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, on American Pop Culture was that the music that was put out was no longer driven, or controlled, by these big rock ‘n’ roll stars, or the smaller independent producers who helped promote the music. The larger mainstream record companies who disliked and distrusted rock ‘n’ roll instead produced and sold music that was bland and white-washed in comparison. This did not mean that there was a lack of demand from the kids who were rock ‘n’ roll aficionados, there was, but at this juncture, the major labels no longer catered to the needs of those who were purchasing the music. Instead,…

Unfortunately, the period of social consciousness within musical entertainment has passed and an era of ignorance being spread through popular music has transpired in its place.…

    One the beloved myths in music is the one about how Rock 'n' roll allegedly died when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper died in an Iowa plane crash. Elvis was in the Army, Little Richard had given up rock for Jesus Christ, and Jerry Lee had married his teenage cousin. During these years, “real” rock 'n' rollers were replaced by poppy artists which watered down Rock 'n' roll. Many first-generation rockers produced some of their best work in the early '60s -- the Everly Brothers, the Drifters, Ray Charles. Additionally, this period produced music that eventually landed each of the following acts in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: the Beach Boys, Booker T. & the MG's, Dion & the Belmonts, the Four Seasons, Brenda Lee, Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, Del Shannon, the Shirelles, and Phil Spector.…

    Throughout its years of prevalence in the popular music industry, the disco genre has always polarised opinions. The subject of some quite literally explosive protests, many have hated disco for its supposed vapidity and homogeneity, and few have defended it.

My essay will be based on ideas from Richard Dyer’s In Defence of Disco (originally published in Gay Left magazine, 1979), as well as more recent writings analysing Dyer’s work.…
