American Pie
The song American Pie was part of no specific genre, but became immensely popular with the American public and rose rapidly to the #1 spot of Billboard Top 100. The song discusses the history of America from Buddy Holly's plane crash to the concert at Altamont Motor Speedway. It brought back a sense of nostalgia and yet connected to the way many people during that era felt. It talked about a sense of gone with the old and in with the new. The world was changing and with it, so the lyrics of the song.
