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)”

Audioslave – Discography (2002-2006)

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. Continue reading “The B-52s – Discography (1979-2019)”

Joe Cocker – Albums Collection (1969-2016)

Joe Cocker - Albums Collection (1969-2016)

After starting out as an unsuccessful pop singer (working under the name Vance Arnold), Joe Cocker found his niche singing rock and soul in the pubs of England with his superb backing group, the Grease Band. He hit number one in the U.K. in November 1968 with his version of the Beatles’ “A Little Help from My Friends.” Continue reading “Joe Cocker – Albums Collection (1969-2016)”

Procol Harum – Discography (1967-2018)

Procol Harum - Discography (1967-2018)

British rock group Procol Harum began life as a psychedelic band and evolved into one of the leading acts in art rock and prog rock, all without changing much about their essential approach. Lead singer and pianist Gary Brooker gave the group their trademark sound with his downbeat vocals and lush melodies, while primary lyricist Keith Reid added words that often pondered the unpredictability of fate in songs like “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” “A Salty Dog,” and “Conquistador.” Continue reading “Procol Harum – Discography (1967-2018)”

Sex Pistols – Discography (1977-2022)

Sex Pistols - Discography (1977-2022)

They didn’t invent punk rock, and they weren’t the first British punk band to perform or record, but no band did more to turn punk into a global cultural phenomenon than the Sex Pistols. In just over two years, the group’s success de scandale took them from utter obscurity to global infamy, beloved by converts to punk rock, hated by nearly everyone else, and subject to legal and vigilante persecution in their native England. Continue reading “Sex Pistols – Discography (1977-2022)”

Rammstein – Discography (1995-2022)

Rammstein - Discography (1995-2022)

Germany’s biggest rock export, Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein burst onto the international radar in the late ’90s with their breakthrough sophomore set, 1997’s Sehnsucht, and its accompanying hit single “Du Hast.” With their aggressive blend of heavy metal riffs, dramatic orchestration, and synth-forward electronic production, the band quickly evolved from a sonic novelty into a reliably hard-hitting machine that never shied away from controversy. Continue reading “Rammstein – Discography (1995-2022)”

Stevie Wonder – Albums Collection (1966-2008)

Stevie Wonder - Albums Collection (1966-2008)

Stevie Wonder is a beloved American icon and an indisputable genius not only with R&B but popular music in general. Blind virtually since birth, Wonder’s heightened awareness of sound helped him create vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition. Nearly everything he recorded bore the stamp of his sunny, joyous positivity; even when he addressed serious racial, social, and spiritual issues (which he did quite often in his prime), or sang about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty, an underlying sense of optimism and hope always seemed to emerge. Continue reading “Stevie Wonder – Albums Collection (1966-2008)”

Sinéad O’Connor – Albums Collection (1987-2012)

Sinéad O'Connor - Albums Collection (1987-2012)

Sinéad O’Connor ranked among the most distinctive and controversial pop music stars of the alternative era, the first and in many ways, the most influential of the numerous female performers whose music dominated airwaves throughout the last decade of the 20th century. Brash and outspoken — her shaved head, angry visage, and shapeless wardrobe a direct challenge to popular culture’s long-prevailing notions of femininity and sexuality — O’Connor irrevocably altered the image of women in rock.
