Short Essay - Favorite Music As I sit in my room, I feel as though I could sit and watch the green apple records label spin forever. I’m utterly transfixed by a twelve inch piece of black vinyl spinning at 33 and one third revolutions per minute. The rhythm section hijacks time and space. Duos like McCartney and Starr, Wright and Morello, Jones and Bonham make clocks obsolete. Time is measured by their signature, their every whim. Sitting here, my ears being assaulted, I can’t help but think that whatever I put in this paper is unfair. Unfair not only to me, but to the many artists that I enjoy. Deciding upon only a few favorite artists is a no win situation, it’s tantamount to naming your favorite child. The included artists can’t in good conscience be labeled as my top favorites, they are merely random examples of my eclectic musical tastes. The Beatles. If music were a monetary system, The Beatles would be the gold standard. It’s a distinctive feeling, the weight of gold. Nothing else can compare to it. Everywhere in the world, gold is known and revered. And so it is music, one, beatles, time, rock, jazz, musical, gold, artists, few, feeling, feel, every, emotion, world, work, upon, unfair, standard, sit, showed, roll, rhythm, quartet, make, life, i’m, it’s, he’s, hear, groups, great, favorite, experience, even
