Political and Social Consciousness of Music

This is a blog devoted to the ideas and analysis of BSU students as they discover, listen, read, analyze the works of various musical artists, across various genres, whose music centers on political, social, and/or cultural issues. The ultimate goal of the class, other than focusing on the students' writing skills, is to allow them the space and time to express their own opinions and ideas, to expose them to music that can and has made significant change.

The 1980s Still Lives On

By: Simone Araujo

This week in class we spent going over the 1980s especially going over the top hits that are still known and popular today. We learned about when MTV made it's debut in 1981 and how it has went through such a journey and it is still popular today.

One song that is probably my favorite song from the 1980s is Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne I like this song because it's a feel good song and it's the anthem for the New England Patriots.

I liked hearing all of the popular songs from the 1980s because you still hear them today especially in movies. The evolution of rock and roll still continues. Long live the rock n' roll!

This is such a catchy song, didn't know it was associated with the patriots actually! I love hearing 80's music today when I'm out and about.
