Initial research ideas

Pop, rock and rap are my chosen genres, this means I will have to go into depth in them, focusing on artists who do this kind of music, and have been successful and made it there own. The main one, pop, is main stream and the radio plays most of this kind of genre, along with soft/ indie rock. This is how I have gained my personal taste, but have listened in depth to other artists that do similar things.

The artists I like and are most familiar with are:

• David Guetta 
• the killers
• Imagine dragons
• Lady Gaga
• Red hot chilli peppers 
• Fall out boy 
• Breedlove
• Fleetwood mac
• Muse 
• Nirvana
• Hooded Allen
• Guns'n'roses
• Royal blood
• Coldplay 
• Ed Sheeran

From all of these artists, the main genre is either rock or indie, Muse will be a good choice because of there upcoming album and concerts being help now, so this will give me a range of present promotional adverts, music videos, etc. 

Since this will be my main chosen genre and artist, I have started to research them into detail. Muse are an alternative rock group, they have been playing since 1994 and have released around 150 million albums worldwide. They have made around 93 songs including there music videos as well.
