DMB Research Paper Help

So Im taking a History of Rock N Roll course because I needed a music credit so I can graduate in the spring and this counted. Was pleased to see DMB as an option for final paper. I can nail all the bullet points with no problem, but looking for suggestions for the bolded. I was thinking Don't Drink the Water, or Last Stop. But am open for other suggestions.


Write a 5 page paper about one of the following rock and roll groups/performers: Pink Floyd, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, Garth Brooks, Dave Matthews Band, Lionel Richie, or Mariah Carey.
Your paper should address the following questions:
  • How did this performer/group get their start in rock and roll?
  • How does this perform/group’s music relate to the music of the previous generation?
  • What did this performer/group do to set them apart from their peers?
  • What role did technology play in this performer/group’s music?
Then, choose a piece of music by this performer/group. Analyze this piece based on the musical, historical, political, technological, and economical significance

    I would think Don't Drink The Water would be a very good one to use.

    Don't Drink would be a great use. But another great one would be Sweet. Lots of metaphors and ideas you can pull from that aren't as obvious either.

    DDTW is good choice if it needs to be a hit.

    If not, I feel Minarets would be a very interesting choice

    Dreaming Tree would be good if you'd like to choose one that does't beat you over the head with it's political contention.

    I think your professor is a Pink Floyd fan based on his 4th question to cover. DMB would be next inline from the list, DDTW was the most technical weird video on MTV, with the lyrics being the most meaningful of the band.

    Pig was also a consideration, but think DDTW is the easiest choice here...and yeah the options for essay were all over the place. Thanks for input everybody

    DDTW....... or Cornbread. It's more nuanced than you might initially think.

    Failing that, American Baby Intro has some thought-provoking lines...?

    From a technology aspect you could mention how btcs and the ddtw single were released on vinyl in a time when vinyl was a lost medium. Also, if you choose something like bartender you could mention the lillywhite sessions and how the album was leaked and spread via the internet. Further still, the release of I did it as a free download from napster. Just some things to consider.

    Edit: I also believe bartender was the first (and I believe only track) to receive a 5.1 mix as a studio recording, included on the bonus disc for Busted Stuff.

    I would probably go with DDTW but trying to think of something that hasn't been mentioned yet, wouldn't Alligator Pie work?

    Like the idea of Last Stop. Ants is obvious but could be fun to write about.

    I wrote two papers on DDTW in college. Great historical references and had a music video to analyze as well.

    Seek Up and Too Much as well. Seek Up hits almost everything the bolded is asking.
