Steely Dan – Discography (1972 – 2009)

Steely Dan - Discography (1972 - 2009)

Most rock & roll bands are a tightly wound unit that developed their music through years of playing in garages and clubs around their hometown. Steely Dan never subscribed to that aesthetic. As the vehicle for the songwriting of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan defied all rock & roll conventions. Becker and Fagen never truly enjoyed rock — with their ironic humor and cryptic lyrics, their eclectic body of work shows some debt to Bob Dylan — preferring jazz, traditional pop, blues, and R&B.

Al Stewart – Discography (1967 – 2008)

Al Stewart - Discography (1967 - 2008)

Scottish singer/songwriter Al Stewart has been an amazingly prolific and successful musician across 50 years, working in a dizzying array of stylistic modes and musical genres — in other words, he’s had a real career, and has done it without concerning himself too much about trends and the public taste.

Christine McVie rejoined Fleetwood Mac in 2013 after a 16-year absence. In the aftermath, the classic Rumours quintet — McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood — were readying the ground to record for the first time since 1987. Nicks, however, despite public affirmations that she was on board, bailed to pursue her solo work, creating the kind of melodrama that has made Fleetwood Mac one of pop’s most dysfunctional outfits.

Roy Orbison – Lonely And Blue (1961) [1995, MasterSound Remastered]

Roy Orbison - Lonely And Blue (1961) [1995, MasterSound Remastered]

Time and familiarity — through multiple reissues — may have muted the seeming significance of some of what’s here, but in 1960 Sings Lonely and Blue was not only a breakthrough for Roy Orbison as his debut LP, but also for rock & roll. Up to that point, apart from Elvis Presley — who was in a class by himself — few white rock & rollers had even tried to make as bold a use of the LP as what we hear on this record.

Men At Work – Discography (1981 – 2003)

Men At Work - Discography (1981 - 2003)

Men at Work were one of the more surprising success stories of the new wave era, rocketing out of Australia in 1982 to become the most successful artist of the year. With its Police-styled rhythms, catchy guitar hooks, wailing saxophones, and off-kilter sense of humor, the band’s debut album, Business as Usual, became an international blockbuster, breaking the American record for the most weeks a debut spent at the top of the charts.

Christopher Cross – Cross Words: The Best Of Christopher Cross (2011)

Christopher Cross - Cross Words: The Best Of Christopher Cross (2011)

2011 two CD collection from the Soft Rock singer/songwriter. Christopher Cross took 1980 by storm, with a multi-million selling debut album, bristling with smash hits such as `Ride Like The Wind’, `Never Be The Same’ and `Sailing’, eventually going on to win an unprecedented Five Grammy Awards. Cross could craft a winning melody and heartfelt, romantic lyric like no other. This top value double CD contains the hits, as well as `Arthur’s Theme (The Best That You Can Do)’ and choice album tracks from Cross’ excellent back catalog.

R.E.M. – Up (1998) [2005, Remastered, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

R.E.M. - Up (1998) [2005, Remastered, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

New Adventures in Hi-Fi functioned as the starting point for Up, R.E.M.’s first album without drummer Bill Berry and their first that truly repudiates the legacy of jangle pop. Up is dominated by keyboards, muted percussion, buried guitars, and moody melodies — only “Daysleeper” finds the group in familiar sonic territory. What’s striking about the album is that it doesn’t sound like a dramatic departure; even without the ringing guitars, it sounds like R.E.M., albeit R.E.M. trying to be adventurous and hip.

Freddie Mercury – Solo Discography (1985 – 2006)

Freddie Mercury - Solo Discography (1985 - 2006)

Combining theatrics and an outrageously flamboyant stage persona with his fine natural-born talent (he possessed one of the greatest voices in all of music and penned some of pop’s most enduring and instantly recognizable compositions), one of rock’s greatest all-time entertainers/showmen was unquestionably Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury. Born Farrokh Bulsara on September 5, 1946, in Zanzibar to Persian parents (his father worked as a high court cashier for the British government), young Farrokh was nicknamed Freddie by fellow classmates while attending an English boarding school, and adopted the moniker.

Jon Bon Jovi – Discography (1990 – 1997)

Jon Bon Jovi - Discography (1990 - 1997)

Jon Bon Jovi spent most of the 1980s establishing his hard rock band Bon Jovi as one of the most popular in the Western world with multi-platinum albums like Slippery When Wet and New Jersey. He then put the band on hold to make a solo album, Blaze of Glory (released July 1990), whose songs were inspired by the motion picture Young Guns II. Bon Jovi the band was reactivated in 1992 with Keep the Faith, but the group’s namesake frontman continued to make time for his own projects during the following two decades, including the 1997 sophomore solo album Destination Anywhere.

Bon Jovi – This Left Feels Right (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Bon Jovi - This Left Feels Right (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

God knows why Bon Jovi felt the need to recut its best songs in an adult alternative style with Patrick Leonard as the producer. In the thorough liner notes — presented as an interview between Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist Richie Sambora — by the suddenly ubiquitous David Wild, Jon claims that the roots of the album derive from a Japanese show he recorded where the intent was to release live, acoustic versions of the band’s standards. Alas, the recordings weren’t up to snuff, so the band reentered the studio and cut versions that have more overdubs than the original releases.
