Crank up the hottest TUNES What would you do in a world without music? We usually don’t go through a day without listening to some form of it. Music videos are a major influence in the music industry, and listening to our favorite radio sta- tions, records, tapes, or C.D’s has be- come a daily experience. Concerts can also overtake us. Some fanatics will even spend a night outside to buy tickets. MTV or VH-1, that is the question. Jenny Mayne responded, I listen to MTV because VH-1 is the yuppie channel.'' Whichever you prefer, there are hours of viewing enjoyment to be found. A wide variety of radio stations can ? also be found. Allison Mayne says, I think that Def Leppard and Sting are awesome. I like to listen to Z-89 be- jj cause they play them often. Chris Brown replied, I listen to 95X be- cause they play a lot of old classics. Whatever style of music you enjoy, there is a station for you. Tapes, records, and C.D.'s are bought by all teens. Stephanie Sornppi states, I listen to tapes because they are easier to find, and there is a better variety of popular songs on them. Tapes are often less expensive, leading more students to favor them over records and C.D.'s. Concerts: a chance to get a glimpse of our favorite group or soloist. Shannon Wadsworth ex- claims, Personally, I think that the Sting concert was the best concert in the world.” You can easily go see your favorite group and have a great time, too. There are many styles of music to- day, and a great many groups are associated with each. Country, rock, soul, and the list goes on. No matter which you listen to, there is usually a singer who stands out from the rest. Sean Wadsworth says, Me and my sister both agree, Sting is a God.” Lau- ra Avery replies, “Not a day goes by when we aren't exposed to some sort of music. It's a big part of our lives. My favorite group is A-HA. Their tapes are fabulous.” Music plays a crucial role in every- one’s life. With the wide variety of dif- ferent ways to listen to and watch mu- sic, it's hard to ignore. So, crank up the volume and let the music play!” Shannon Ryan, Chrissie Sprague jand Hester Rice grab their radio before head ng out for the weekend.
