The Who – Discography (1965-2019)

The Who - Discography (1965-2019)

Few rock & roll bands were riddled with as many contradictions as the Who. All four members had wildly different personalities, as their notorious live performances demonstrated: Keith Moon fell over his drum kit while Pete Townshend leaped into the air with his guitar, spinning his right hand in exaggerated windmills. Vocalist Roger Daltrey prowled the stage as bassist John Entwistle stood silent, the eye of the hurricane. They clashed frequently, but these frictions resulted in a decade’s worth of remarkable music Continue reading “The Who – Discography (1965-2019)”

Billy Joel – Discography (1971-2025)

Billy Joel - Discography (1971-2025)

Although Billy Joel never was a critic’s favorite, the pianist emerged as one of the most popular singer/songwriters of the latter half of the ’70s. Joel’s music consistently demonstrates an affection for Beatlesque hooks and a flair for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway melodies. His fusion of two distinct eras made him a superstar in the late ’70s and ’80s, as he racked an impressive string of multi-platinum albums and hit singles. Continue reading “Billy Joel – Discography (1971-2025)”

Jimi Hendrix – Discography (1967-2025)

Jimi Hendrix - Discography (1967-2025)

In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship — he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire Continue reading “Jimi Hendrix – Discography (1967-2025)”

Led Zeppelin – Discography

Led Zeppelin - Discography

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band’s heavy, guitar-driven sound, rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums, has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences, including folk music. Continue reading “Led Zeppelin – Discography”

Simple Minds – Discography (1979-2022)

Simple Minds - Discography (1979-2022)

Scotland’s Simple Minds evolved from artful late-’70s post-punks into global purveyors of pop grandeur with a string of U.K. chart-topping albums that include 1984’s Sparkle in the Rain and their global breakthrough Once Upon a Time. While the band was widely embraced in the U.K., Europe, and Oceania, it took the smash hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” from the film The Breakfast Club to break them in the U.S. Continue reading “Simple Minds – Discography (1979-2022)”

Faces – Discography (1970-2015)

Faces - Discography (1970-2015)

When Steve Marriott left the Small Faces in 1969, the three remaining members brought in guitarist Ron Wood and lead singer Rod Stewart to complete the lineup and changed their name to the Faces, which was only appropriate since the group now only slightly resembled the mod-pop group of the past. Continue reading “Faces – Discography (1970-2015)”

Madonna – Discography (1983-2015)

Madonna - Discography (1983-2015)

After stars reach a certain point, it’s easy to forget what they became famous for and concentrate solely on their personas. Madonna is such a star. She rocketed to stardom so quickly in 1984 that it obscured most of her musical virtues. Appreciating her music became even more difficult as the decade wore on, as discussing her lifestyle became more common. However, one of Madonna’s greatest achievements is how she has manipulated the media and the public with her music, her videos, her publicity, and her sexuality. Continue reading “Madonna – Discography (1983-2015)”

Queen – Discography (1973-2024)

Queen - Discography (1973-2024)

Few bands embodied the pure excess of the ’70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen’s music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey. For years, their albums boasted the motto “no synthesizers were used on this record,” signaling their allegiance with the legions of post-Led Zeppelin hard rock bands. Continue reading “Queen – Discography (1973-2024)”

Supertramp – Discography (1970-2014)

Supertramp - Discography (1970-2014)

Supertramp followed an unusual path to commercial success in the 1970s, fusing the stylistic ambition and instrumental dexterity of progressive rock with the wit and tuneful melodies of British pop, and the results made them one of the most popular British acts of the ’70s and ‘80s, topping the charts and filling arenas around the world at a time when their style of music was supposed to have fallen out of fashion. Continue reading “Supertramp – Discography (1970-2014)”

Alice In Chains – Discography (1990-2018)

Alice In Chains - Discography (1990-2018)

Alice in Chains both epitomized the solemn, heavy Seattle sound of the 1990s and stood apart from the grunge hordes. What separated Alice in Chains from their alt-rock brethren was how their roots lay in heavy metal, not punk. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell and vocalist Layne Staley both played in metal bands prior to the formation of Alice in Chains in 1987 and they released the band’s debut Continue reading “Alice In Chains – Discography (1990-2018)”

ABBA – Discography (1973-2021)

ABBA - Discography (1973-2021)

The most commercially successful pop group of the 1970s, the origins of the Swedish superstars ABBA dated back to 1966, when keyboardist and vocalist Benny Andersson, a onetime member of the popular beat outfit the Hep Stars, first teamed with guitarist and vocalist Bjorn Ulvaeus, the leader of the folk-rock unit the Hootenanny Singers. Continue reading “ABBA – Discography (1973-2021)”

Joe Bonamassa – Discography (2000-2025)

Joe Bonamassa - Discography (2000-2025)

Guitar mastermind Joe Bonamassa, a young player with the childhood dream of playing music similar to legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix, was 22 when he inked a deal with Epic. Hailing from Utica, New York, Bonamassa could play the blues before he could drive a car. Continue reading “Joe Bonamassa – Discography (2000-2025)”

Coldplay – Discography (2000-2024)

Coldplay - Discography (2000-2024)

With their earnest blend of heartbreaking ballads and explosive anthems, English band Coldplay is one of the biggest acts of their generation, capturing a global audience with a message of love that transcends languages and borders. Continue reading “Coldplay – Discography (2000-2024)”

Eagles – Discography (1972-2020)

Eagles - Discography (1972-2020)

With five number one singles, 14 Top 40 hits, and four number one albums, the Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of those albums — Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) and Hotel California — ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, and the popularity of 2007’s Long Road Out of Eden proved the Eagles’ staying power in the new millennium. Though most of its members came from outside California, the group was closely identified with a country- and folk-tinged sound that initially found favor in Los Angeles during the late ’60s, as championed by such bands as the Flying Burrito Brothers and Poco Continue reading “Eagles – Discography (1972-2020)”
