I really like country, so I'm going to talk about a country band that I like and that is Florida Georgia Line. I know that is a weird name but they have a really good and sound and really catchy songs. Two of their songs I really like are Cruise and Get Your Shine On. Cruise is a catchy song that is easy to like, and easy to sing to. Get Your Shine On is also very catchy and easy to sing to and that is why I like it. Here are the videos for Cruise and Get Your Shine On by Florida Georgia Line.

This week in class we watched a documentary on Wilco. I had never heard of Wilco before this documentary so I don't know any of his songs. From what I heard, I think he has a pretty good voice, and he seems like a really good musician. I liked it when he played the guitar and the harmonica at the same time. I wish I could do that, it's hard enough just to play the guitar and the harmonica separately, so playing them together at the same time is pretty impressive. From what I heard from Wilco, I kind of like them. I think I will look up more of their songs and listen to more.

I know I write about country music a lot, but that's because I really like it, and another person I want to write about is Brantley Gilbert. Brantley Gilbert isn't your usual country singer, he's more of a rock country star, he wears what a hard rock singer would wear, so he definitely sticks out from all of the other country singers. The good thing is that he has some really good catchy songs. Two examples are Country Must Be Country Wide and More Than Miles. These two songs are really good, and they have more of a hard electric guitar sound than the usual twangy acoustic guitar sound. Country Must Be Country Wide is about exactly what the title says and More Than Miles is about a girl. Here are the videos for Country Must Be Country Wide and More Than Miles by Brantley Gilbert.

This week in class we listened to N.W.A. and I have never listened to them before so it was pretty interesting. They definitely don't care what they say because every song has multiple cuss words. The only song I knew was Express Yourself, and that was only because it was a remix of the original song. I would of liked their songs if they were shorter, it just seemed like they went on forever and they just repeated. We also listened to the Beastie Boys and I had never listened to them before and I now know why I haven't. All that it is, is noise you can't understand them and it's not even that catchy. I just don't like them. I don't think I will be listening to these bands anymore.

A band that I have recently discovered is Young the Giant, this band as a kind of indie sound but their songs are catchy. Two songs that stand out from the rest are Cough Syrup and My Body. Cough Syrup is a softer song but still has a climax in the chorus which is what I like about it. My Body is the opposite, this song is up beat and makes you feel good when you listen to it because of its up beat tempo and catchy tune. I'm glad I discovered Young the Giant because it gives me another band to listen to and follow whenever they put out another album. Here are the videos for Cough Syrup and My Body by Young the Giant.

This week in class we listened to U2, and I had never listened to U2 before now. I didn't know any of their songs except for one, and that was I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, which is a great song. When listening to this song I didn't think it was by them because I thought it was a song I sing at church camp, so when I found out it was by them I was surprised. I really like this song because it feels very easy to sing along to, and it is very catchy. I really don't know any other songs by U2, but maybe if I listened to more of their songs I would find some that I knew, or had heard before.
