Salvino Salvaggio uses R to analyze The Ramones:
Musical purists always reproached the Ramones for knowing a couple of chords only and making an excessive use of them. Data show that the band knew at least… 11 different chords (out of too-many-to-bother-counting possibilities) although 80% of their songs were built on no more than 6. And there is no evidence of a sophistication of the Ramones’ compositions over time.
It’s a fun analysis with all the R code attached. This fun analysis, however, includes n-gram analysis, sentiment analysis, and token distribution analysis.
