select an album that’s been important for you

For this paper, consider why Niimi chose to write about Murmur (he makes a number of arguments about his interest and investment in the book). From there, follow these steps:

Select an album that’s been important for you, and make it clear why you think the album needs a closer look.
Write an Argument Analysis of album, where you make it clear what you think that artist is arguing. It’s possible there are a number of arguments on an album, and you might find there’s a “conversation” emerging, so consider how to summarize and clarify that for a reader.
Write a Rhetorical Analysis of the album, where you argue what strategies the artist uses to make their argument, clearly show where strategies are used, and explain why you believe what you’re citing to be a strategy. Explain Why and How that aspect of the text is trying to work rhetorically.
Conclude the paper with how you think the album connects to a larger conversation in our culture, and whether or not it’s an effective contribution to the culture. Explain that point of view.

This paper will have an introduction, at least 6 body paragraphs, a conclusion, and will incorporate at least four sources (one from our reading, and another you find through your own research).

would really like the paper to be focused on an alternative rock band.

Introduction

The Travelling Wilburys Volume 1 is an album done by the popular band Travelling Wilburys commonly referred to as Wilburys. The Wilburys were a British- American pop group that did rock music consisting of four members. The rock group was out of an idea discussed by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne during Harrison’s practice sessions for his album Cloud Nine (2011). Notably, the five members agreed to merge and record a bonus track for George Harrison’s album bringing birth to the band in April 1988.

After the bonus tracks done by Harrison and Lynne aided the album Cloud Nine hit, the five artists- Bob Dylan, Georg Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty- agreed on releasing a full album since the bonus track had less time yet ruled the airwaves (Bentley, 1965)
