Brothers in Arms brought the atmospheric, jazz-rock inclinations of Love Over Gold into a pop setting, resulting in a surprise international best-seller. Of course, the success of Brothers in Arms was helped considerably by the clever computer-animated video for “Money for Nothing,” a sardonic attack on MTV.

The album was well received by such critics as Robert Christgau, Greg Prato of AllMusic, and Jason Thompson of popmatters, but Rolling Stone gave the album only two and a half stars.

Borrowing heavily from Marc Bolan’s glam rock and the future shock of A Clockwork Orange, David Bowie reached back to the heavy rock of The Man Who Sold the World for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart quickly, yet Bowie’s fractured, paranoid lyrics are evocative of a decadent, decaying future, and the music echoes an apocalyptic, nuclear dread.

1984 will always be remembered for the debut of the Macintosh computer, the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and the ascent of MTV as the most powerful cultural medium of the era. The year is also recognized for the Cars’ savvy contributions not only to the burgeoning music-video channel but to pop itself. Released in April, the four-times platinum Heartbeat City would ultimately spawn five Top 40 singles—four of them landing in the Top 20, two in the Top 10—and serve as the final memorable record from the Boston group, which would disband in 1987.

Few observers expected that Whitney Houston’s first big-screen role in 1992’s The Bodyguard would generate a phenomenon. Not that the film itself was a phenomenon — it was a healthy success, due not only to Houston, but to her co-star Kevin Costner’s drawing power — but the soundtrack’s success was astonishing.

Following in the footsteps of many, the soundtrack for Martin Scorcese’s Goodfellas (based on Nicholas Pileggi’s Wiseguy) uses period music for definition — in this case, however, music from the ’40s through the early ’70s is utilized. The selections themselves are all good — well chosen and not overused songs that range from “Rags to Riches,” sung by Tony Bennett, to “Layla (Piano Exit)” from Derek & the Dominos, passing through “Speedo” from the Cadillacs, “Life Is But a Dream” from the Harptones, “Baby I Love You” from Aretha Franklin (in fine voice here), and “Sunshine of Your Love” from Cream.
