Variety is the Spice of Life

Why do certain musical acts from generations ago continue to keep selling today? The Dreamer’s Brigade thinks it’s because those artists and groups that survive created multiple styles of music. These acts experimented musically and still endure today.

When asked why Led Zeppelin is still on the top of the list, Robert Plant said, “it’s the variety that keeps Led Zep alive.” Variety is seen in the Led Zeppelin catalog of music. In examples like Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven, Battle of Evermore, and Going to California, you can see four distinct styles of music.

The Beatles are still the top selling act in the music industry. They too had a myriad of songs that crossed musical genres. A Hard Day’s Night, Yesterday and Strawberry Fields are all examples of the Beatle’s top selling songs that showcase their variety.

Variety is what attracts and retains a fan following. The Dreamer’s Brigade is evolving into a variety act. The Dreamer’s Brigade stepped into adult contemporary progressive folk rock with Born in America. New music, soon to come from The Dreamer’s Brigade, will change things up – still progressive folk rock, yet very different creative endeavors.
