Music. The minute music is mentioned, immediately the vast different types of music enter our minds. In the past, we were limited to just classical, oldies and perhaps towards the end, reggae. These computerized days, the types of music in the market are almost countless with new artists with new entries coming into the market daily.
As I have mentioned earlier, with countless different types of music in the market, I will be focusing on only a few areas and artists. Let us begin with doo wopping. As per history-of-rock.com, doo wopping is a form of R&B based harmony vocalizing using phonetic or nonsense syllables (like a repeated ”doo-wop") for rhythm and intricate harmonic arrangements (http://www.history-of-rock.com/doowop.htm). From this area alone, countless artists were made and focused on such as Dion & The Belmonts, Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons, Randy & The Rainbows, etc. They stood out during their time and still do till today. These groups did not have the technology and editing software that is being used up to today. As that they could rely on was their raw talent and vocal strength.


Secondly, the wondrous area of acoustic guitar playing emerged. Now this area is melodious and fantastic. We have both new and old examples to be mentioned, mainly Jim Croce, Eric Clapton, Jack Johnson, Ralph Mctell, etc. These artists have managed to express their feelings and messages through their songs. Every song tends to equally have an effect on the listeners.


Thirdly and lastly, we have soft rock or also known as mellow rock. Examples would be like Bee Gees, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, etc.As per Wikipedia, soft rock usually send the message of love. Unlike their counter part of this genre, soft rock does not involve screaming, heavy metal jamming, or any of the sort. Rather, usually just mild guitar and drums following a mellow and slow beat that attracts individuals of all ages.


With me explanation given on some, hopefully you will be able to identify your area of interest and will be able to please your inner being with the music.
