more complex patterns in
almost every song

given even more voice

frequently introduces song,
almost always separate
from harmony, by
puctuaing or riffing

beat heavy and distinct (on
2nd & 4th beats), allied
with rock 'n' roll

except during break in the
middle of song

single melodies & four-
chord structures common

almost exclusively innocent
love, almost no politicizing
or social commentary

almost always present,
frequently leads, almost
always used as a
tail-off
