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.

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.

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.

Continue reading “Iron Maiden – Discography (1980-2021)”

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)”

Survivor – Discography

Survivor - Discography

Survivor’s brand of melodic, hard, album-oriented rock netted the group several hits during the 1980s, including two smash themes from Rocky films, but never quite matched the success or consistency of contemporaries like Foreigner. Continue reading “Survivor – Discography”

Accept – Discography (1979-2024)

Accept - Discography (1979-2024)

With their brutal, simple riffs and aggressive, fast tempos, Accept are one of the top metal bands to debut in the early ’80s and a major influence on the development of speed metal and thrash. Led by the distinctive vocal stylings of Udo Dirkschneider Continue reading “Accept – Discography (1979-2024)”

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. Continue reading “The Beatles – Official Discography”

Gino Vannelli – Discography (1974-2019)

Gino Vannelli - Discography (1974-2019)

Ranging from soul to soft rock, singer and songwriter Gino Vannelli earned several hits during the 1970s, including “People Gotta Move” and “I Just Wanna Stop.” Vannelli learned to play the drums early in life and studied music theory at McGill University. Continue reading “Gino Vannelli – Discography (1974-2019)”

Elton John – Discography (1969-2023)

Elton John - Discography (1969-2023)

Elton John was the biggest pop star of the ’70s, grabbing headlines and generating hits throughout the world. As it turned out, this was merely the first act in a remarkable career that kept him at the top of the charts for decades. He charted a Top 40 hit single every year between 1970 and 1996, a sign that he knew how to both change with the times, and mold the times to fit him. Continue reading “Elton John – Discography (1969-2023)”

Dire Straits – Discography (1978-2025)

Dire Straits - Discography (1978-2025)

Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late ’70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk. If anything, the band was a direct outgrowth of the roots revivalism of pub rock, but where pub rock celebrated good times, Dire Straits were melancholy.
