Like Tyler Cowen for the C-students

Rock and/or Roll

2011-09-16
An interesting summary of the distinctive sounds and noises that shaped rock and roll.  I never noticed this before, but "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks has a really odd relationship between the power-chord guitar part and the drum part.  When the drums come in, the guitar part seems to shift but doesn't.  Sort of an audio illusion, I guess.  I have it on good authority that it starts on the "and of four," which I guess explains the phenomenon.  Or, would explain it if I understood these things.
