Music is a living art.  As with other humanities, music changes based on the culture, trends, and the artists who create it.  As such, music has evolved over time.  The following videos have a sampling of that evolution.  Your task is to pick one song from the videos and evaluate it.  To earn full credit in your forum you should:

• Identify the decade of the video that the song appears.
• State the song title and the artist.
• Determine the genre of the song.  Is it rock and roll, rap, country, etc?  What aspects of the song helped you identify its genre?
• Using two musical terms from this chapter, discuss the song.  You can consider:  Beat, tempo, melody, harmony, texture, and dynamics. 
• Then, evaluate the song.  What’s good about it?  Why did you choose it?
