In 1981, the group Genesis was already moving away from the Progressive/Symphonic Rock that characterized them and released an album that represented the breaking point: Abacab. With this recording, (their 11th album), they sought to approach a more pop sound, with a greater commercial appeal than their previous albums.
They were highly criticized by purist fans who preferred the time when Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett were in the band.
At that time new wave was heard, there were echoes of disco, soft rock and multi-selling artists dominated the music scene. It is therefore not surprising that Genesis was influenced by groups such as The Police and Talking Heads.
The eponymous track: Abacab, is characterized by Tony Banks' progressive/new wave keyboards complemented by Mike Ruthreford's electric guitar and Phil Collins' raging vocals and drums, with an interesting keyboard section in between. It is one of the most electronic Genesis tracks of all time.
One of the pioneering groups of Heavy Metal is Judas Priest, in 1980 they were selecting material for a studio album, and a song composed by Rob Halford, Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing, called Breaking The Law, stood out. This song would be part of the album British Steel and reached a great success in the British market, extending its effects to the rest of the world.
It is a powerful song, where the guitars shine at every moment, with hard riffs, and special effects. It is an anthem for many young people who felt isolated or rejected by society. However, the song is also criticized for the absurd fact that it invites people to commit crimes, an accusation that the band quickly overcame. The following is the best version of this song not sung by Rob Halford, (watch and listen, the video to understand this).
Seven Nation Army , is a 2003 song by the band The White Stripe from their album Elephant, is a song with a simple structure, with only a guitar, drums and vocals.
The song to date has achieved popularity as a sports song.
Seven Nation Army, won The White Stripes a Grammy for Best Rock Song. The song was born out of a misunderstanding during Jack White's childhood when he mistook the words Salvation Army for a Seven Nation Army.
The song is recorded in London, using a 50's acoustic box guitar and a pedal that gives it the effect of a bass guitar. Meg White plays drums in a very energetic way.
The song is about the discomfort felt by the band under the weight of fame.
These are three energetic, live tracks I'm presenting at the ThreeTuneTuesday #93 initiative Link Here promoted by
