The Impact

Cultural consecration demonstrates the values of a field, and it is influenced by several different factors. Previous research on consecration in rock music has examined the impact of critical, professional, and popular legitimacy, as well as the gender of the performers, on the likelihood of albums being retrospectively consecrated. The study builds on and extends this research by examining the impact of these different forms of legitimacy and gender, while also examining the impact of performers’ race on (a) the likelihood of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and (b) the wait-time that performers face in that induction.

In particular, analyses of British live music contexts have examined the role of urban landscapes in facilitating production/consumption environments. Building upon Simon Frith's (1983) initial exploration of the synthesis of leisure/work ideologies and popular music, Ruth Finnegan's detailed examination of amateur music practices in Milton Keynes (1989) and Sara Cohen's account of the Liverpool scene (1991) reveal the benefits of engaging in detailed micro-studies of the local. Paul Chevigny's history of the governance of New York City jazz venues (1991) similarly provides a rich insight into performance contexts and the importance of hitherto unnoticed city ordinances in influencing the production of live music.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is a 150,000-square-foot building that serves as the permanent home of rock and roll's most memorable experiences. Designed by internationally renowned architect Ieoh Ming Pei, the building rises above the shores of Lake Erie. “In designing this building,” Pei explained, “it was my intention to echo the energy of rock and roll. I have consciously used an architectural vocabulary that is bold and new, and I hope the building will become a dramatic landmark for the city of Cleveland and for fans of rock and roll around the world.”

Love Song

The article describes and analyses the cultural heritage and the Beatles mania phenomenon. Explorations and expressions of love have dominated the lyrical content of popular music for decades, to the extent that the love song can be said to be the archetypal pop song. A detailed division of “love styles” has been proposed by the psychologist John Alan Lee, who suggests that there are six distinct styles of love. Through a consideration of the application of his typology to the lyrics of popular songs, it can be seen that the categories he has identified have relevance musically, as well as socially and emotionally. When these insights are employed in the analysis of songs written and performed by the Beatles, significant differences are seen in the approach to love between the group’s earlier and later material. It is argued that these are not random variations, but indications of the ways in which their personal experiences and professional evolution were reflected in the nature of their music.
