Warren Zevon – I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: An Anthology (1996)

Warren Zevon - I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: An Anthology (1996)

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (An Anthology) covers the bulk of Warren Zevon’s career, conveniently skipping over his long-forgotten first album and concentrating heavily on his Asylum records, as well as his albums for Virgin and Giant.

One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff’rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the “Queen of the Blues” to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress — and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists.

Dinah Washington – The Complete Roulette Dinah Washington Sessions (2004) [5CD, Box Set]

Dinah Washington - The Complete Roulette Dinah Washington Sessions (2004) [5CD, Box Set]

During 1944-1958, Dinah Washington recorded jazz, blues, R&B, pop, and even gospel, excelling in each area. In 1959 after she had a major pop hit in “What a Difference a Day Makes,” the quality of her recordings declined as she was mostly backed by large anonymous studio orchestras in an attempt to duplicate that song’s commercial success. The arrangements were often more suitable for a country singer than for Washington, and her own singing seemed exaggerated and overly mannered.

Depeche Mode – Discography (1981 – 2013)

Depeche Mode - Discography (1981 - 2013)

Originally a product of Britain’s new romantic movement, Depeche Mode went on to become the quintessential electropop band of the 1980s. One of the first acts to establish a musical identity based completely around the use of synthesizers, they began their existence as a bouncy dance-pop outfit but gradually developed a darker, more dramatic sound that ultimately positioned them as one of the most successful alternative bands of their era.
