THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC (40000 BC - 2022) 

True. But it's pretty easy to make sure it's not all a heavy metal sausage fest.

And here they try to sum up like 4 years with one song.

@@gabrielberglund115 Better than 22,000 years.

@@gabrielberglund115 yeah i feel like some composers should have made it on the list e.g. chopin debussy from the romatic period

2005-2022 is most likely mash up between Pop, Rock/Metal and EDM/Dubstep

Yes, exactly. I must say I like the raps on "Bring me to life" but I also get why the band was against it. Compromising for a song to get the commercial push isn't too bad / actually very clever. Still I think Evanescence isn't too far removed from Linkin Park. Melodies and metal mixed together, so there's pop appeal but also really heavy dark parts. Probably the reason why I liked and still like both bands from their early years. I'm not into heavy metal but great singing, emotions, beautiful touching melodies, personal lyrics, punching guitars combined with enough pop appeal is something I really can enjoy a lot.

Exactly!!

Thank you for commenting this I was going to say the same thing. Imo It ruins the song so I get why they were against it from that perspective alone. Later versions like in synthesis is without that part. It has a different vibe and execution but still.

@@Bat_Fiend. You're welcome. Resident Evanescence and Linkin Park fan, so I like knowing facts like this. I enjoy all versions of Bring Me to Life. If you haven't yet, check out the cover performed by JRock band called Wagakiband, also featuring Amy Lee. It hits different with the instrumentalization used, since the band uses traditional Japanese instruments along with the regular instruments you'd expect from any rock band.

This, 100%. Evanescence agreed to do 1 song with this male rap/rock singer. They originally said no, and walked away from their contract. The label came back saying if they just did the one, which was for a soundtrack, then they would not ask for a male singer again.

then you are not metal head

I think the person who compiled this didn't really believe women are leaders in music. Madonna.... that's kinda it. Yep, Jonas noted it & the others agreed. Oh, now we have Doja Cat.

@@user-gs3yf7dv8r imo a real "Metalhead" is someone who primarily listens to metal, but who also is able to see the appeal and enjoys other genres.

@@baldksi4434 Exactly. I prefer metal myself, but I absolutely listen to other genres.

Wow what has this generation become. You think pathetic no talent people like those even deserve to be listed next to Bach, your delusional

No the thing is more male artists are more popular and successful than female artists

@@xlantboi they just listed several very famous women in this comment, be fr.

@@xlantboi what kind of BS is this lol

I was genuinely shocked when I didn't see Adele, Kesha, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga or Sia. Not to mention the absolute lack of Beyonce in the 2000s, while metal is def more my jam I listen to literally everything and MOST of these songs certainly weren't defining for their time when we got into the more modern era. Tbh most of these choices seem like they were just picked by an angsty teenager that slowly made their transition from metal to rap, whoever made this is some early-mid twenties dude for SURE. Edit: Also One Direction, Bieber and Jonas Brothers? Come on man, those were def influential in the mid to late 2000s.

lmao it was just random not everything is sexist bro

It's because metal and rock is the best🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

@@teenagemetalhead666 i mean its ur choice but me personally i like pop more

@@teenagemetalhead666 I am a bit of a metalhead myself and listens to old metal way more often than many other genres. But I have to stay real and point out that in this case, the bias might be somewhat problematic of they wanted to offer a history of music. Also somewhat strange that they went for Megadeth as opposed to Metallica, but that might be down to them taking sides in that conflict...

I like rnb :)

At the same time Joel is mega biased to most pop productions so it's not like the biased is a new thing. Also i think that if the problem is the compilation, thent hey should've made their own

Same

It would be pretty neat to pull in from everywhere in the world and listen to it evolve everywhere.

they just took the video from someone else, they didn't make it. some random dude compiled it and definitely missed some key moments or people or culture

Great point

yeah, I'm only a few minutes into the video and am already turned away by the seemingly lack of understanding how music developed before a more modern time. Seems like music history/culture isn't these guys' favorite subject so they have more ignorant/ethnocentric takes than they otherwise probably would

If you go to Bergen you have to go to Åsane. Much better then Askøy, Arna and bad places like that

@@rexgutten7657 been there, I live in Haugesund, approximately 3 hour drive away. Been to Åsane, it is so wonderful

Bring an umbrella.

I came here to say this! I've been there, it's a beautiful place and it's easy to see how living there he was able to get inspiration for Morning Mood (even through it is supposed to depict the desert)

These guys (Joel, Jonas & August)are from Sweden, right?.. So relatively close.

yes... especially because he hates ozzy:((

@@nihilist3240 and because Joel imagines Metal started in 1990, just imagine when he learns about Ozzy and Black Sabbath in 1969/1970

Oh yeah, that would be cool!

@@FreddieHg37 yeah.. it just hurts man. he's just such a pop head

@@nihilist3240 I stopped watching right there.

Bro this was fire tho 🔥🔥💯

OMG those times were good times 😭 time flew

Yeah, same before my grandfather died from leporcy I played this for him

There are a lot of rock bands with female members, but they chose not to add them to the list

They also had Judy Garland in the video :) But I agree, there is a lack of other female artists across different genres. A lot of them are some of the best singers of all time

What the hell? People like you are unbelievable. A person spent time making a video, and likely didn’t realize his taste bias was showing. Stop hating on them for no reason

@@Tyborz What about Paramore?

@Someone Else No the female dominated time for music was mid to late 2010s even though early 2010 more female artists started to shine but the popularity wasn't until around 2015.

Couldn't agree more. It's very eurocentric and I also noticed discrepancies between the eras of music. I thought it wasn't a good representation of how music has evolved. There is no way we just went from chants to elaborate orchestras all of a sudden lol

Thing is, folk music was written down a lot less than the music of the church. So the songs and tunes didn't survive as well until the baroque era.

@@Essex626 That's fair, the older it is the harder it is to tell. But from what scraps of lyrics we do have, a few rough approximations could be added (Like, no one knows how the bone flutes were played, but they did an approximation). And certainly some of those folk songs were noted in detail before the 1900s, where this compilation started to show any lyrical music other than chants.

You can say the same about the 18th and a great deal of the 19th century where classical music wasn't popular at all among common people. I think this list would be better if they did just popular music, or vice versa with traditional music.

Me neighter, but I also don't want to hear them complain about the music all the time. Slipknot is my favorite band, for example, and I like that they were featured for once, but I don't want them to feel forced to listen to those songs considering they don't like this type of music.

I agree Joel just seems to hate it all. He had Serge Tarkanian in this list and wouldn't even begin to mention that he has one of the most technically amazing voices, up there even with David Draiman. Then they talk shit about Doja cat being good... I like watching 'The Charismatic Voice' discover some metal, its a great break down.

Couldn’t agree more mate 👌

Pop music is ass

YES! They say Doja Cat's voice is incredible, and don't say ANYTHING about Freddy.

Roar firework, ET, etc... P!nk not here, Brittany spears, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, Adele, Taylor Swift, Beyonce... They literally missed the naughts through current day women in music 😆

Yeah but this was and music as a WHOLE not just what Katy Perry did. That's why I hate these compilations, because who's to say that Taylor swift or Katy Perry dominates all of music versus other artists.

@@Bilbosaggins32 I'm saying their style was relavent for a time. For Madonna to be the last face of female music is short sighted. Even Nicki Minaj deserves a mention as the creator of modern day female rap.

Well considering that this video seems to skip over the very creation of modern pop music, its not surprising it ignored the revival of it as well.

Okay

Technically i agree, but then calling it the evolution of music is weird, should make a video on the history of metal/rock (strangely he didn't mention Metallica tho), kinda sad for no mention of Sabaton too, it's legit one of the best band of all time imo

Omg I was looking for someone pointing it out!!

Yeah atleast they had Seether in there which is a south african band

He is good listen to the sound of silence

@@Eliasraoficeal Oh absolutely. His voice is amazing in that. People really don't get how good of a range he has.

@@ItBePatYo He's actually pretty famous for his live performance of this song when he was sick but still nailed it

Thanks

My mom loves him, his voice, and his band…all for good reason.

No he is not. Mj is

I love Michael Jackson (I believe you mean him, might also be Mick Jagger, who knows?) but let's be real: Steve Perry in his prime destroyed him in terms of pure singing ability. I rarely get chills when I listen to people singing but Perry does that to me regularly. Check out "Mother, Father" by Journey, for example. Just incredible. And again, I love Michael Jackson's music. I just can't put him above Steve Perry as a singer.

@@-locke-6051 watch 'who's loving you' from ed sullivan 1969. Tell me if this is not the greatest voice of all time

@@yp8152 I had never heard that version. It was impressive, not gonna lie. MJ was incredible but I prefer Perry and Freddie Mercury over him, possibly some others. MJ is still easily in the TOP10. Probably TOP5. In the end it's all about opinions.

There would be no rock and roll if it wasn't for the blues.

Yea I commented about the Harlem Renaissance being completely left out. That was a huge musical movement that led to so much I'm the jazz, blues, and rock era.

I enjoyed the phrygian dominant psalm hymn in particular

Maybe the author doesn't like your typicall late 90s and 00s pop princesses but they could have gone for Ella Fitzgerald, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey...

@@justynafigas-skrzypulec3349 bro forgetting that rih, katy, adele, taylor also ruled some years..... bruh

it/a not a music, just commercial shit

@@justynafigas-skrzypulec3349 I was about to say, there seem to be a lot of comments about Grande, Adele etc. And none about Whitney Houston and the rest 👍 Idk why, for me they are the most iconic and influential in music.

I agree

They sound nothing like Linkin Park, Evanescence has a specific style that works incredibly well with their music. Both great bands!

@@DoiInthanon1897 Great band and with two incredible and unique singer

Wow! Now consider that the songs you hear in a synagogue are 5,000+ years old!

There is a lot of cultures around the world that wee not mentioned.

@@orlock20 yes, of course, I'm saying that mainstream western culture was largely christian

More like music was only allowed if it was for praising Him otherwise it was considered useless and bad and blasphemous and stuff

I kissed a girl - 2008 Califonia gurls - 2010 Dark Horse - 2014

WAP? Really don't think that needs to be on the list.

Uptown funk

@@michelledawn7446 In terms of which songs will stand the test of time, I think WAP will do well just because of how much controversy it had. I think Cardi B definitely deserves a place, maybe 2018 with "I like it". I think it's a much better song, though it's not what people think when you hear Cardi B's name.

Yeah what a shame, no 2000's Pop at all

Taylor is not that popular so

@@xlantboi Well her biggest has 3 Billion views soooo. I think she deserve a place on the video.

@@Owen_plays_music1049 many singers have music videos over 3 billions views but still they are not here so...

@@xlantboi Because the dude who made the compilation don't know anything about Pop...

That's a song I'll definetely add to my list. Don't know why, but it immediately reminded me of Traitors "Exiled to the Surface" album.

Anno Domini? Isnt it after death.

@@chols3114 yes he's not serious

@@chols3114 it’s Anno Domini

@@chols3114 I know it’s confusing but it’s anno Domini (Latin) and they meant by that the year when Christ was born.

You can also just use CE (common era) and BCE (before common era)

Not even eurocentric. Basically, all Mediterranean songs were cut off.

1600-1900 mostly had classical orchestral music and literally no folk music of any kind. Because people think only about classical music in this period but this is wrong because mostly people in this period didn't know who is Bach for example.

I think it's a bit strange to complain about the "Eurocentricism" of the video when it wasn't even a particularly good representation of that music. As they pointed out, the person who made the list obviously had a bias towards rock/metal. (I mean, for example the 70s is missing disco, funk, reggae, prog, punk rock, early electronic music... Most of this list is just classic rock. The 80s is missing at least new wave, glam metal, early hip hop, and a good representation of synth pop. If the video isn't even going to talk about these styles, then demanding it to talk about the music of other cultures is way too much to ask. Instead of listing all of the classic rock hits of the different decades, it could have explored a lot of different styles and given a better representation of how the different decades sounded like.) Another thing to point out would be their focus on music after the mid-1960s - as if that's when "real music" began and all of the evolution happened, and almost every single year needs its own hit song, whereas before that it was only a couple of songs per decade (and before the 20th century, it skipped many decades, as if nothing happened between 1810 and 1850, even though that's the beginning of the romantic period). There are so many issues with the list that I feel that complaining about its "Eurocentricism" is kind of missing the mark. It isn't even a particularly good representation of Western music, so even if the name was changed to "the evolution of Western music", it still wouldn't be a great list. Generally speaking, I think the list would have been better if it had only focused on Western music written after 1950. This would have made it possible to include more examples from different styles. Or maybe it could even have only focused on rock music (because that's obviously the style the person who made the list is most familiar with). Because now the list kind of lacks focus. It feels like it moves too fast in the beginning, and too slow in the end (while being too biased towards one style).

🗣🗣

More like he grew into metal/rock, probably american, male, had a bit of a EDM/Techno music era when it became popular that started his pop hearing

You are definitely on to something there. Also, notice the lack of female artists and variety in general in the compilation. 😂

Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore...you just named my favorite bands :)

@@Olix466 Mine too! Along with a few others from the era like, Panic at the Disco, Taking Back Sunday, the Used, Incubus, Meg and Dia, Flyleaf. That was my era.

@@Jah_LEASE_yah wow, yes, You have pretty much the same favorite bands as I , Taking Back Sunday (MakeDamnSure) and P!ATD are also my life

@@Olix466 Yes but not as familiar with their music as the others. But yeah I was big into the pop punk emo era. That was my comfort music when I was going through basically the worst years my life. My styles have changed somewhat but all those bands will always hold a special place in my heart.

I also feel that it omits 70s disco and EDM era of early 2010s as well.

Lucky! I know damn near every song from at least 70s to now

@@tylerhackner9731 honestly we never got any actual work done in that class 😂

No this is a death note 2:45

Haha yesh
