Okay I'm doing a project for one of my classes, and I'm trying to find rock songs that can be compared to music from different periods of time, such as the renaissance/reformation period, the baroque period, classical period, and so on.

Specifically I'm looking for modern (meaning 1950-now) examples of fugues, arias, concerto, oratorio, movements, etc.

Also, I'm wanting to get some songs that the covers of them are really popular but many people don't know it's a cover.


This are some things I have so far...
Fugue: Guelah Papyrus (the instrumental part) by Phish
Movements: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (this one might be a bit of a stretch)
Covers: Most songs by Bob Dylan

3/31/2008 7:18:20 PM

put this in entertainment and let the snobs fight each other over this

3/31/2008 7:18:32 PM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Melodia/List_of_popular_songs_based_on_classical_music#1960s


that should answer most any questions you have...

always go with Lover's Concerto by The Toys and Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum

[Edited on March 31, 2008 at 7:20 PM. Reason : those were the first 2 i thought of and they are on the list]

3/31/2008 7:19:37 PM

requiem for a dream?

the new sean kingston songs are covers, for the most part

george thorogood's move it on over is a good cover example

Mickey by Toni Basil is a cover of a 1979 UK hit called Kitty

Under Pressure by My Chemical Romance....originally by Queen/David Bowie

Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann....originally Bruce Springstein

NO WAY REALLY

3/31/2008 7:37:56 PM

Oh also, the covers shouldn't be too hard, cause the main audience for this are high school students who think the only form of music is rap, these kids have never even heard of ben folds

Also, an example of recitive and aria is Brick by Ben Folds

3/31/2008 7:39:48 PM

^^dude if they don't know who Ben Folds Five is then they probably haven't even heard any of the songs i listed

3/31/2008 7:41:45 PM

Proud Mary is also a good one. Too many people think that Ike and Tina are the originals


When the Stars Go Blue

I hate how she says "Working for a man every night and day"

that changes the whole meaning

3/31/2008 8:06:27 PM

^ Yeah, it changes the whole meaning...in a totally great way.

Fogerty fights against THE man.

Tina fights against HER man.

Also, the Tim McGraw version of "When the Stars Go Blue" sucks. The original pwns.

[Edited on March 31, 2008 at 8:11 PM. Reason : wow messed that name up]

3/31/2008 8:10:15 PM

I mean seriously, does is get any more homosexual than that?

3/31/2008 8:13:45 PM

Ike and Tina are not a band.

3/31/2008 8:14:09 PM

the struggle of blue-collar workers against the man is infinitely more noble and admirable than Tina Turner's stupid sexism-fueled struggles against her hard-ass, unappreciative boss

I guess if she worked for a hard-ass, unappreciative female boss, that would be a-ok with her

he plays soccer, what do you think

3/31/2008 8:14:27 PM

i play soccer?

i had no idea.

3/31/2008 8:15:30 PM

she was basically Ike's drumkit

3/31/2008 8:15:48 PM

I do agree that Tim McGraws is worse. I didn't realize it was a cover and I thought it was a good song, and then I heard the original and I was like damn, Tim sucks at this song.

3/31/2008 8:15:49 PM

why the fuck are you even posting an opinion on here VINNY you piece of shit faggot. It is worthless and terrible and you obviously have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

3/31/2008 8:16:12 PM

^
fuck off, dude, nobody likes you

3/31/2008 8:16:30 PM

pick up league hockey, soccer, same difference

3/31/2008 8:17:24 PM

oh why don't you lick my balls tough man behind the internet you goofy computer nerd I'd beat your ass all over your fucking dorm room.

3/31/2008 8:17:30 PM

Can we not debate who is better at the song please!

3/31/2008 8:17:33 PM

^^
yes you go ahead and do that you happy creature

3/31/2008 8:18:15 PM

that's right you shut the fuck up and obey me you aren't anything but a little bitch

3/31/2008 8:19:07 PM

Back to the songs that are inspired by music from earlier periods...

That wiki list is okay, but those are songs based on the earlier songs.

Like I'm looking for original works that are modern day versions of fugue, or cantata, or concerto

3/31/2008 8:19:29 PM

take this shit to entertainment and let the homos fight over it

3/31/2008 8:19:36 PM

gah, y'all suck, thanks

3/31/2008 8:20:58 PM

Dude, how many people can say they have a violent grandfather?

3/31/2008 8:21:19 PM

radiohead - paranoid android
metallica - to live is to die - and the s&m concert
greenday - jesus of suburbia
between the buried and me - not sure if they qualify
silverchair has some songs too

3/31/2008 8:21:48 PM

his grandfather fucks him in his ass daily and then puts on his dentures and makes large bite marks on his testicle bag

3/31/2008 8:22:16 PM

check out the Who's Tommy...there should be a lot of stuff in there...particularly the Overture

3/31/2008 8:22:52 PM

3/31/2008 8:22:52 PM

Thanks marko!!!

Okay back on topic here in Entertainment!!!

Okay I'm doing a project for one of my classes, and I'm trying to find rock songs that can be compared to music from different periods of time, such as the renaissance/reformation period, the baroque period, classical period, and so on.

Specifically I'm looking for modern (meaning 1950-now) examples of fugues, arias, concerto, oratorio, movements, etc.

why the fuck are doing a project? Don't you live in the projects you indigent bitch.

3/31/2008 8:26:26 PM

This song has been moved from chit chat to entertainment-thanks!

3/31/2008 8:27:26 PM

Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel the Noize

3/31/2008 8:30:36 PM

aria=one way or another--blondie

3/31/2008 8:30:41 PM

renaissance: TONS by Blind Guardian. Im not even sure which to pick first. Their actual metal songs are VERY rooted in using musical modes commonly associated with the renaissance period. They also do songs that arent metal that are very renaissance. One of my favorites of their's is "The Bard's Song"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ErYEwYq34

seeing that song live is sweeeet too.

3/31/2008 8:32:10 PM

The only bad thing about the covers is the fact that I don't really know much of what is played on the radio anymore so I don't know if there are any new covers out that are popular. There are also a lot of covers out there that I'm sure high school kids wouldn't even know the cover, much less the original artist.
