Van Halen – Discography (1978-2023)

Van Halen - Discography (1978-2023)

With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what the electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals.

Janis Joplin – Discography (1967-2023)

Janis Joplin - Discography (1967-2023)

The greatest white female rock singer of the 1960s, Janis Joplin was also a great blues singer, making her material her own with her wailing, raspy, supercharged emotional delivery. First rising to stardom as the frontwoman for San Francisco psychedelic band Big Brother & the Holding Company, she left the group in the late ’60s for a brief and uneven (though commercially successful) Continue reading “Janis Joplin – Discography (1967-2023)”

The Velvet Underground – Discography

The Velvet Underground - Discography

The Velvet Underground was a rock band formed in 1964 in New York City by singer/guitarist Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise (replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965). The group’s integration of rock and the avant-garde achieved little commercial success during their existence, but they are now recognized as one of the most influential bands in rock, underground, experimental, and alternative music. Continue reading “The Velvet Underground – Discography”

Oasis – Discography

Oasis - Discography

Oasis shot from obscurity to stardom in 1994, becoming one of Britain’s most popular and critically acclaimed bands of the decade in the process. Along with Blur and Suede, they were responsible for returning British guitar pop to the top of the charts. Led by guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher, the Manchester quintet adopted the rough, thuggish image of the Stones and the Who Continue reading “Oasis – Discography”

Composer Mike Oldfield rose to fame on the success of Tubular Bells, an eerie, album-length conceptual piece employed to stunning effect in the film The Exorcist. Born May 15, 1953, in Reading, England, Oldfield began his professional career at the age of 14, forming the Sallyangie folk duo with his sister Sally Continue reading “Mike Oldfield – Discography (1973-2017)”

Eric Clapton & Friends – The Breeze: An Appreciation of J.J. Cale (2014)

Eric Clapton & Friends - The Breeze: An Appreciation of J.J. Cale (2014)

In a sense, nearly every album Eric Clapton recorded after 1970 has been a tribute to J.J. Cale. On that first solo album, Clapton cut a cover of Cale’s “After Midnight” and while he was under the spell of Delaney Bramlett for that album, soon enough Slowhand began drifting toward the laconic shuffle that was Cale’s stock in trade. Clapton never hesitated to credit Cale, dropping his name in interviews, turning “Cocaine” into a modern standard, even going so far as to record an entire duet album with the Oklahoma troubadour called The Road to Escondido in 2006. Continue reading “Eric Clapton & Friends – The Breeze: An Appreciation of J.J. Cale (2014)”

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. Continue reading “Mark Knopfler – Discography (1983-2024)”

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.
