U2 – Discography (1980-2026)

U2 - Discography (1980-2026)

Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands in the world — equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion. The Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. Continue reading “U2 – Discography (1980-2026)”

Linkin Park – Discography (2000-2026)

Linkin Park - Discography (2000-2017)

Although rooted in alternative metal, Linkin Park became one of the most successful acts of the 2000s by welcoming elements of hip-hop, modern rock, and atmospheric electronica into their music. The band’s rise was indebted to the aggressive rap-rock movement made popular by the likes of Korn and Limp Bizkit, a movement that paired grunge’s alienation with a bold, buzzing soundtrack. Continue reading “Linkin Park – Discography (2000-2026)”

Arcade Fire – Discography (2003-2026)

Arcade Fire - Discography (2003-2026)

A combination of indie rock muscle and theatrical, unapologetic bombast turned Arcade Fire into indie royalty in the early 2000s. Originally comprised of Régine Chassagne, Richard Parry, Tim Kingsbury, and brothers William and Win Butler, the group formed during the summer of 2003, after Win spotted Chassagne singing jazz standards at a Montreal art exhibit. Continue reading “Arcade Fire – Discography (2003-2026)”

Phil Collins – Discography

Phil Collins - Discography

Phil Collins’ status as one of the most successful pop and adult contemporary singers of the ’80s and beyond was probably as much a surprise to him as it was to many others. Balding and diminutive, the Genesis drummer-turned-vocalist was almost 30 years old when his first solo single, “In the Air Tonight,” became a number two hit in his native U.K. (the song was a Top 20 hit in the U.S.). Between 1984 and 1990, Collins had a string of 13 straight U.S. Top Ten hits. Continue reading “Phil Collins – Discography”

Paul McCartney – Discography (1970-2026)

Paul McCartney - Discography (1970-2026)

Out of all the former Beatles, Paul McCartney by far had the most successful solo career, maintaining a constant presence in the British and American charts during the ’70s and ’80s. In America alone, he had nine number one singles and seven number one albums during the first 12 years of his solo career, and in his native United Kingdom, his record was nearly as impressive. McCartney’s hot streak began in 1970, when he became the first Beatle to leave the group. Continue reading “Paul McCartney – Discography (1970-2026)”

Scorpions – Discography (1972-2025)

Scorpions - Discography (1972-2025)

Known best for their 1984 anthem “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and the 1990 ballad “Wind of Change,” German rockers Scorpions have sold over 22 million records, making them one of the most successful rock bands to ever come out of Continental Europe. Formed in 1969 by Rudolf Schenker, the original lineup consisted of rhythm guitarist/vocalist Schenker, lead guitarist Karl-Heinz Follmer, bassist Lothar Heimberg, and drummer Wolfgang Dziony.

Dionne Warwick – Albums Collection (1963-2018)

Dionne Warwick - Albums Collection (1963-2018)

It is easier to define Dionne Warwick by what she isn’t rather than what she is. Although she grew up singing in church, she is not a gospel singer. Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan are clear influences, but she is not a jazz singer. R&B is also part of her background, but she is not really a soul singer, either, at least not in the sense that Aretha Franklin is. Continue reading “Dionne Warwick – Albums Collection (1963-2018)”

The Cure – Discography (1979-2025)

The Cure - Discography (1979-2025)

Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late ’70s, few were as enduring and popular as the Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (born April 21, 1959), the band became well-known for its slow, gloomy dirges and Smith’s ghoulish appearance, a public image that often hid the diversity of the Cure’s music. Continue reading “The Cure – Discography (1979-2025)”

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)”

Nirvana – Discography (1989-2023)

Nirvana - Discography (1989-2023)

Prior to Nirvana, alternative music was consigned to specialty sections of record stores, and major labels considered it to be, at the very most, a tax write-off. Continue reading “Nirvana – Discography (1989-2023)”

Lenny Kravitz – Discography (1989-2024)

Lenny Kravitz - Discography (1989-2024)

Rock music in the 1980s had completely lost the gritty feel of earlier eras until Lenny Kravitz rediscovered the magic formula. Kravitz’s sonic template combined good old-fashioned rock & roll with glam, soul, and psychedelia, making him a massive success. Continue reading “Lenny Kravitz – Discography (1989-2024)”

Iron Maiden – Discography (1980-2021)

Iron Maiden - Discography (1980-2021)

Known for such powerful hits as “Two Minutes to Midnight” and “The Trooper,” Iron Maiden are one of heavy metal’s most influential bands. They’re also one of metal’s most enduring and distinctive acts, thanks to their melodic guitars, ambitious songwriting, powerhouse vocalist Bruce Dickinson, and iconic mascot Eddie.

Joy Division – Discography (1979-2011)

Joy Division - Discography (1979-2011)

Formed in the wake of the punk explosion in England, Joy Division became the first band in the post-punk movement by later emphasizing not anger and energy but mood and expression, pointing ahead to the rise of melancholy alternative music in the ’80s. Continue reading “Joy Division – Discography (1979-2011)”

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)”
