I’ll teach it. Why not? Rollnroll isn’t taboo people,It’s a lifeforce.Isn’t Elvis more important than say,George Washington?

i’d teach “why mixing rock with academics goes against what (good) rock is about in the first place.”

quantum mechanics – study of johnny greenwood’s matt belamys and tom morello’s pedal board with expirimental further study into david gilmores.

to be taught by NASA

Advanced Comparative Cheese: Distinguishing between Kansas, Styx, Journey,and REO Speedwagon

I currently attend Middle Tennessee State University and there is a course in the Recording Industry department called “The Experience” – a full 16 week, 3-hour-credit course over nothing but Hendrix himself.

AMAZING!

Advance Pharmacology Lab-Guest speaker
Pete Doherty

i would choose johnny rotten and we would discuss what not to do when you are trying to be famouse and our example would be sid from the band

The course would be “Concept Albums” and Roger Waters would teach it.
My dissertation: “From Brain Damage to High Hopes: Evolution of Optimism in the Works of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters”

what sells in the music industry.

taught by Fall Out Boy’s own Pete Wentz, the one who’s nude pictures scored more veiws than copies of their album sold.

I like the concept album theme, but even though Roger Waters is a true genius, I would pick Pete Townshed (lets remember that he was the one to first produce a conept album, and a rock opera), and Procol Harum (fathers of progressive rock). Another course I would love to have would be The real story of Highway 61 (story of blues), and “Be sure to wear come flowers in your hair” (study of pop culture in the 60’s and 70’s).

Hells yeah finally somebody notices that rock is the greatest thing to happen to humankind and its rich and full history is great to study because of the diversit y of the music and the people who play the music, this is really an awesome thing, it will be intersting to see the result of this on the students and the teachers and overall the universities oh wait that’s not what it was never mind! oops!!!

who would teach music? I’m serious,totally serious

There are sso many courses in rock i could teach it’s not even funny buti too would teach science

There can be no accepted teachers in a school of rock. In stead we have a rather communist styled meeting session where everyone throws in their own two cents about a period of music and asks others to share and write their own views. We then look at it from every conceivable angle. When it’s all done we crank the volume up, drive all the other classes out of the building, and then blow up the place and start again.

How about “The Evolution”, it would be a rock n’ roll history class covering everything from Elvis to the state of the music buisness now.

A rock class would be the best class ever. I’ve heard about one at my school, maybe I should take it and put my music nerdiness to use!

From The Beatles to Oasis and Revolution of Popular Rock N Roll taught by George Martin, with grad student Noel Gallagher teaching every now and then. Paul McCartney holds a guest seminar sometime.

academics + rock is a mistake 99% of the time, however I would take Andy Partridge’s Pop Music 101

Haha… I took a Rock history class at my school, it was taught by a guy that had a #96 w/ his band the Woolies sometime in the earlu 60’s. His son is the keyboard player in that Nine Days band that had that “Story of a Girl (Absolutly)” song. He was also one of the founding members of the buddy holly fan club or some shit. Let’s just say we focused a little too much on the olden golden days of rock, but it was an easy A and a fun class nonetheless.

um green day`s punk rock 101 where you learn about the clash,the ramones,the sex pistoles, whatever

A history of rock would kick so much ass, like it could be an alternate to like regular political history…and like Jimmy Page should teach it cause he’s been around for years and has seen quite alot of the history that would be taught in this class

Hasn’t this already been done by Jack Black ?

The class would be “SOUNDS OF THE APOCALYPSE,” in which we study the End of the World through the sounds of rock’n'roll.

REM – “It’s the End of the World As We Know It,” in which people with the initials L.B. predict our downfall.

The Clash – “London Calling,” who’s opening bass line is the very warning of doom.

Black Sabbath – “Black Sabbath,” in which we are hilariously warned that “Satan’s coming ’round the bend”).

Nina – “99 Luftbaloons,” where we close human history with a springy New Wave jam.

Bob Dylan – “Desolation Row,” an epic fable of man’s collapse.

The Doors – “The End,” who’s title says it all.

The Beatles – “The End,” in which we learn th true meaning of life.

Van Halen – “Eruption,” where Eddie Van Halen blows the planet apart with his amazing guitar shreddery.

I have a history class (as does most people) and we recently did a countdown of the 100 most important voted on by somebody. Hell, I don’t know, but we did that 100 people countdown. Afterwards we had to do a paper over who we thought was the most important. I wrote mine on The Beatles, while the rest of the class picked people like Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Washington, and so on.
My point is that I would love to take a music class that focused on music history other than your regular Bach and Mozart. People in music history are much more important to me than our first president.
