Guest Plushy Al Logan Report post Posted September 16, 2003 One of my assignments for my Music Appreciation class is to do a presentation on anything in popular music. I asked my instructor about the subjects in the poll and she said I can pick one of them as long as I enjoy doing this assignment. I just need you to help me make a decision on this assignment. Your help will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a fan of GWAR, I've actually never heard of them. ::Ducks behind bunker just in case < said something stupid:: All of those things on my list (with the exception of the last option) are things I enjoy.

It's facisinating. hmm..........the only person I can imagine goose-stepping is Izzy. Trust me, if you really do some research, and make sure it isn't disrespectful to the people Hitler and Nazi Germany destroyed, it's a fascinating comparison. I did once for a report in the very same class you're in now. Got 100 out of 100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 If it was me, I'd do The Wall, mainly because you could probably delve pretty deep into the story behind the album, and interpreting enough lyrics to give people a good idea of what exactly happens could probably eat up a chunk of time. And plus, the movie rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 don't use bands everyone knows, and hears every day, and basically knows about it (Zeppelin, Beatles, Nirvana, Elvis, The Doors, Hendrix, Pink Floyd), do bands that not many people really talk about (Alice In Chains, The Who, The Kinks, Neil Young). Actually I've known somebody used a comparison chart from back of the 60's 70's bands to current artists, and got 48/50. Or just bring in some Nile or Iron Maiden, and its all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Elvis. There's ungodly amounts of material written about him, and with any common sense, a presentation could be thrown together about the guy in a matter of minutes. Get some shit with his visage and hips plastered on it, and give the folks a bad impersonation, and you're golden. B+, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 Elvis would be easiest by far. Johnny Cash could be very timely, even Warren Zevon. Warren Zevon is someone who people might not know off hand. Out of those you have listed, an in depth presentation about the rise and fall of hair metal would be most interesting and not something I've seen covered in a scholarly way before.

Guest Plushy Al Logan Report post Posted September 18, 2003 Only if he isn't going to do it. After all, I don't want to do it for him. I don't think I will do your G N' R presentation. The teacher is Jewish, and the last thing she needs is me screaming in German and goose-stepping. I have also decided not to do anything on Elvis. The poser music suggestion made me laugh a little. Red Baron gave a good suggestion, there is a group of students who always wear Pink Floyd shirts, it may cause a distraction to me during the presentation. Thank You! Edit: Poll was moved to another thread due to suggestions, if no one votes I will do a presentation on Hair Metal. Mods, close this thread, please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Poll was moved to another thread due to suggestions, if no one votes I will do a presentation on Hair Metal. Mods, close this thread, please! thats why you do it on Animals. It'll go like this. "How many of you like Pink Floyd?" A majority number of hands rise up. "Whats your favourite album? A reply of Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and Echoes. "Well it has nothing to do with them." Kids looked puzzled. "I'll talk about Animals, the dark side of Pink Floyd." Kids still looked puzzled. "Its an album released by Pink Floyd in 1977." "Thats outlandish, Pink Floyd only released 4 albums, and you just list them all, and I am a bigger Pink Floyd fan than you are." says a kid. You look at the kid. Laugh histarically at his statement, and call him a poser. "This is what we call a poser." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
