The man behind the music

For Roberto Avant-Mier, picking 10 favorite songs was stressful. The professor, who tells his students to call him Bo, confessed that this list could change, as the songs correspond to different life stages. The list does reflect his range of tastes with rock en español, indie, and straight-up rock. The easiest choice was Nirvana's "Negative Creep," which can induce a metal-head frenzy in Bo anytime it graces the radio. Soul tracks from Otis Redding and Etta James are unusual for Bo, but he stated specifically he would rather go blind than miss out on the James classic. These tunes accurately depict Bo's diverse musical collection, as well as his culturally relevant communication class, Popular Music and Identity. If you have any questions, or want your own mix of his top 10, Bo says his office door is always open. - Blair Thill
