King Crimson – Discography (1969-2018)

King Crimson - Discography (1969-2018)

If there is one group that embodies progressive rock, it is King Crimson. Led by guitar/Mellotron virtuoso Robert Fripp, during its first five years of existence the band stretched both the language and structure of rock into realms of jazz and classical music, all the while avoiding pop and psychedelic sensibilities.

The Beatles – Official Discography

The Beatles - Official Discography

So much has been said and written about the Beatles — and their story is so mythic in its sweep — that it’s difficult to summarize their career without restating clichés that have already been digested by tens of millions of rock fans. To start with the obvious, they were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and they introduced more innovations into popular music than any other group of their time.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Discography (1970-2021)

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Discography (1970-2021)

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were progressive rock’s first supergroup. Greeted by the rock press and the public as something akin to conquering heroes, they succeeded in broadening the audience for progressive rock from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions of listeners, creating a major radio phenomenon as well. Their flamboyance on record and in the studio echoed the best work of the heavy metal bands of the era, proving that classical rockers could compete for that arena-scale audience. Continue reading “Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Discography (1970-2021)”

Michael McDonald – Discography (1982-2017)

Michael McDonald - Discography (1982-2017)

With his husky, soulful baritone, Michael McDonald became one of the most distinctive and popular vocalists to emerge from the laid-back California pop/rock scene of the late ’70s. McDonald found the middle ground between blue-eyed soul and smooth, soft rock, a sound that made him a star. Continue reading “Michael McDonald – Discography (1982-2017)”

Meat Loaf – Discography (1977-2016)

Meat Loaf - Discography (1977-2016)

With his blustery, wounded romantic-on-the-brink-of-a-breakdown style, Marvin Lee Aday (aka Meat Loaf) was one of the biggest chart acts of the 1970s before enjoying a commercial renaissance two decades later. His 1977 Jim Steinman-produced debut, Bat Out of Hell, has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and spawned a hit-making trilogy that yielded the 1993 Grammy-winning single “I’d Do Anything for Love.” Continue reading “Meat Loaf – Discography (1977-2016)”

Jon Anderson – Discography (1976-2019)

Jon Anderson - Discography (1976-2019)

Born John Roy Anderson on October 25, 1944, in Lancashire, England, Jon Anderson would grow up to become one of the most recognizable voices in progressive rock. He began his musical career by joining his brother Tony’s group the Warriors. Eventually, that band relocated from England to Germany, but Tony had left the group by then. Continue reading “Jon Anderson – Discography (1976-2019)”

Radiohead – Discography (1996-2023)

Radiohead - Discography (1996-2023)

At some point in the early 21st century, Radiohead became something more than a band: they became a touchstone for everything that is fearless and adventurous in rock, inheriting the throne from David Bowie, Pink Floyd, and the Talking Heads. Continue reading “Radiohead – Discography (1996-2023)”

Poison – Discography (1986-2011)

Poison - Discography (1986-2011)

In a decade fueled by party anthems and power ballads, Poison enjoyed a great amount of popularity, with only Bon Jovi and Def Leppard outselling them. While the group had a long string of pop-metal hits, they soon became just as renowned for their stage show, and continued to be a major attraction long after the ’80s came to a close (bringing the commercial downfall of pop-metal with it). Continue reading “Poison – Discography (1986-2011)”

Mark Knopfler – Discography (1983-2024)

Mark Knopfler - Discography (1983-2024)

Mark Knopfler is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose distinctive blend of rock, country, blues, and other roots traditions bears a sonic stamp all his own. One of the most celebrated British guitar heroes to emerge in the late 1970s and ’80s, he first rose to fame as the leader of Dire Straits, where his songwriting and incisive guitar work played a decisive role in making them an international success story.

Alphaville – Discography (1984-2023)

Alphaville - Discography (1984-2023)

German synth pop group Alphaville enjoyed major success in the United States with their early hits “Forever Young” and “Big in Japan,” and went on to a lasting career in Europe, South America, and Asia. Alphaville were formed by vocalist and lyricist Marian Gold and keyboard player Bernhard Lloyd, both of whom were members of the Nelson Community, a multimedia art collective based in Berlin. Continue reading “Alphaville – Discography (1984-2023)”

Morrissey – Discography (1988-2020)

Morrissey - Discography (1988-2020)

As the lead singer of the Smiths, arguably the most important indie band in Britain during the ’80s, Morrissey’s theatrical crooning and literate, poetic lyrics — filled with romantic angst, social alienation, and cutting wit — connected powerfully with a legion of similarly sensitive, disaffected youth. Continue reading “Morrissey – Discography (1988-2020)”

Chris Cornell – Discography (1999-2020)

Chris Cornell - Discography (1999-2020)

The singer and frontman for Soundgarden, Chris Cornell also forged his own career after the band’s initial break-up in 1997. Soundgarden had rightfully become one of rock’s most popular bands on the strength of such albums as Badmotorfinger and Superunknown. And with each album, Cornell’s vocals grew stronger — farther away from heavy metal screaming and toward a true singing style. Continue reading “Chris Cornell – Discography (1999-2020)”

Hard Rock / Alternative Rock / Post-Grunge

When Zack de la Rocha left Rage Against the Machine in October 2000, the band’s future was put into question. Within months rumors flew that Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell would replace de la Rocha. And gossip fueled truth, for Cornell joined the rest of Rage in the studio in May 2001. The mix was great and a musical bond was in the making: Cornell, Tim Commerford, Brad Wilk, and Tom Morello spent the next year writing and recording. Continue reading “Audioslave – Discography (2002-2006)”

Kreator – Discography (1985-2023)

Kreator - Discography (1985-2023)

Arguably the most influential and successful European thrash metal band despite some competition from outfits such as Sodom, Destruction, and Tankard, Germany’s Kreator are by far the most enduring. Like many of their European speed metal brethren, Kreator fused the big four’s — Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer — thrash innovations with Venom’s proto-black metal imagery, sparked it with Motörhead’s terminal velocity Continue reading “Kreator – Discography (1985-2023)”

The B-52s – Discography (1979-2019)

The B-52s - Discography (1979-2019)

Among the first American new wave acts to break through to mainstream visibility, the B-52s became one of the biggest success stories to emerge from the American underground in the late ’70s. Making music that was full of quirks but also sounded friendly and fun to dance to, the B-52s filtered surf music, ’60s pop, vintage soul, and low-budget sci-fi soundtracks through a pop culture kaleidoscope, with vocals laid over the top that suggested someone had been listening to a lot of Yoko Ono and Yma Sumac records.
