4 Songs - 2 Ideas: What makes this music tick?

In class you listened to 2 groups of 2 songs each. Compare and contrast each group of songs. Tell us how they were similar/different. Answers questions like: What is the Genre of these songs?  What are the prominent instruments used between these two songs?  What role does the bass play?  What role do the drums play?  What is the purpose of these songs?  Are they the same?  Can you hear a lot of layers?  What is the Musical Texture?  Etc...

Once you do your initial listen write 2-3 well developed paragraphs (on Your Blog) stating your conclusion about the relationship between these two songs.  You of course will do this again with the second set of songs.
