American Icons

The Beatles.
This icon to me represents the progress of music, because they inspired so many other bands to create music.
Some people who inspired the Beatles are Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. They were also heavily inspired by blues music and early rock and roll.
The Beatles are important to me because they inspired me to learn to play guitar and also opened me up to all kinds of music.
The Beatles have inspired a ton of musicians and even changed music all together with their unique ways of recording and playing.
The Beatles are important to American culture because inspired so many American musicians and were very involved in the 60's culture.


Paul McCartney.
This Icon is important to me because he in my opinion is a great all around musician because he not only plays rock and roll he also composes music for films and he inspires me to learn more instruments than just guitar.
Paul McCartney inspired adding symphonies into rock music and that has been present a lot in modern music.


Elvis Presley.
Elvis Presley to me represents the start of rock music and the inspiration for a lot of rock bands since his time.
He is important to American culture because he was the first rock musician to make it big in America.
He has inspired many early rock band including The Beatles and even inspired rock music itself.
