1. DO NOT DENY THE STAIRWAY:When Led Zeppelin created this song, everyone who's never heard of metal knew this song. Led Zeppelin was the piloting band to the genre most people know today as metal which includes: Metallica, Iron Maiden, and of course Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne to name a few. Although the song did not include the basic heavy drumming and guitaring that was iconized by Metallica in the song "Enter Sandman", the song "Stairway to Heaven" was the progressive entry into this particular style. The rule became popularized by Wayne Campbell from Wayne's World when the store owner did not allow Wayne to play the beginning rift to Stairway to Heaven while he tries out the white Fender Stratocaster guitar and has been placed into society and has become the golden rule of the radio network.
Now, when "Stairway to Heaven" comes on, you should not change the channel or even think about cutting the engine off before the song ends because of how important the song has been linked to the beginnings of the metal genre before everything else has been revised and edited because of the modernization of music. If your parents find out that you denied the "Stairway", get ready for a brutal lecture of respecting the classics.
2. IT'S HENDRIX: Most people who know Jimi Hendrix know him for "Purple Haze", "Foxy Lady", "Manic Depression", and of course "All Along the Watchtower". Hendrix and his way of performing these songs by playing a right handed guitar backwards, has been studied and influenced the way modern musicians play guitar nowadays. A clip from the movie Cars, explains why people should enjoy Jimi Hendrix by Sarge the Military Jeep and Fillmore the classic Volkswagen Van:
Ideally, Hendrix was responsible for those high screeches and whines which became popular use for guitar in modern rock and pop songs of today. So if you don't respect the Hendrix, you don't deserve music.
3. BREAK ONTO THE DOORS SIDE: A play on words for The Doors and one of their number one songs, "Break On Through to the Other Side". The Doors were a band that left an impact that is only recognized through the ways in which the combination of psychedelic rock and blues could ever form a functioning piece of music. Jim Morrison's continuous drug habits might have cut his life short, but the band lives on as an important part of music culture as ways in which they follow an era of musicians that have changed the ways in which society does tend to mediate the ways in which drugs and personal bad habits tend to demoralize the ways that the music is able to be processed in different forms of news and internet sharing.
The problems with media show that you can't always get what you want. Media always changes the ways in which you are able to perceive basic social norms. Hendrix might have been an influential musician, but the media consider him related to different political parties that focused on racial equality. The media also says that if musicians follow the phrase sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, then all of their music should be scrutinized. The media is a powerful tool for the people who tend to have the most money. If music does not follow the norm of Zeppelin, Hendrix or any other influential artists, then they should be outcasted and labeled as different than the ones who are deemed appropriate and successful.
