The Innovations of Queen

 The Innovations of Queen Queen, 1970, London, United Kingdom      In the late 1960s, rock n roll started to go through some drastic changes. Who were the frontrunners of these drastic changes to rock you might ask? Well, Queen is one of the top rock bands to innovate music in their time period. Which was technically from the 1970s to the 1990s. They were able to innovate music changing the very concept of a rock n roll band can do.

 New Faces v2- A Musical Analysis New Faces v2- Mac Miller, 2014, USA          One of my all-time favorite rappers will always be Mac Miller.

Who is one of my all-time favorite artists. Sadly, today I will not be talking about one of the many masterpieces Jimi Hendrix has created. I will be talking about the 60's/70's rock band called Love. Although, they are not as famous as other rock bands from their era of music. The major reason Love gets the recognition that they have.

From then, they went through many changes within the band. Then, for some years, the band turned into just Arthur Lee and fill-in artists. Although, the band did not reach the top of the record boards. They did end up bein
