He gained popularity as the lead singer of new wave group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring 10 UK top ten hits from 1980 to 1983, including three UK No. 1 singles. He has also worked as an actor, appearing in many films and television episodes. Ant began his musical career playing bass in the band Bazooka Joe. From 1977 to 1982 he performed with Adam and the Ants. Their debut album Dirk Wears White Sox (1979) reached number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart. Before recording his second album as Adam and the Ants, he asked producer Malcolm McLaren to manage his band; McLaren instead took his backing band to form Bow Wow Wow. Ant regrouped with new members, including Marco Pirroni, to release his second album Kings of the Wild Frontier (1980). It reached number one in the UK Album Chart, spawned three hit singles, became the UK number-one selling album in 1981, and won Best British Album at the 1982 Brit Awards. He released his third and final album with the group, Prince Charming (1981), which spawned two UK number-one singles \u0026ldquo;Stand and Deliver\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Prince Charming\u0026rdquo;. In 1982, he began a solo career, retaining Marco Pirroni as co-songwriter. His first solo album was Friend or Foe (1982), from which the debut single \u0026ldquo;Goody Two Shoes\u0026rdquo; reached number one in the UK and Australia in 1982, and became his first top-20 hit in the United States. The album reached number five on the UK Albums Chart and number 16 on the US Billboard Album Chart, becoming his most successful solo album. His next two solo albums Strip (1983) and Vive Le Rock (1985) were less commercially successful. Ant began to focus on an acting career, performing on stage and in film and television roles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He released his fourth solo album Manners \u0026amp; Physique (1990) which was produced by André Cymone and featured a Minneapolis sound. Despite the US Top-20 success of the single \u0026ldquo;Room at the Top\u0026rdquo;, Ant was dropped from MCA Records, and his album Persuasion (1991) was shelved and never officially released. He signed with Capitol Records to release Wonderful (1995). The single \u0026ldquo;Wonderful\u0026rdquo; became Ant\u0026rsquo;s third US Top-40 hit single. Since 2010, Ant has continued his music career, recording and releasing a new album Adam Ant Is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner\u0026rsquo;s Daughter (2013, UK number 25), and completing eight full-length UK national tours, five US national tours, and two Australian tours. A further album, Bravest of the Brave, was recorded in 2014 and is still awaiting release.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/69349615331 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamantofficial/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AdamAOfficial ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/a/adam-ant/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Adam Ant","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/adult-alternative-pop/rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Adult Alternative Pop/Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/adult-contemporary/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Adult Contemporary","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Agents Of Fortune showcases their eclectic blend of hard rock, progressive rock, and occult imagery.\nThe album includes \u0026lsquo;Don\u0026rsquo;t Fear the Reaper\u0026rsquo;, one of the most celebrated rock songs of the decade, and represents the band\u0026rsquo;s commercial peak.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/b/blue-oyster-cult/agents-of-fortune/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Agents Of Fortune","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Ahead Rings Out blends heavy blues riffs with jazz-influenced improvisations.\nIt reached number nine on the UK Albums Chart and is a fine document of the British blues boom, featuring guitarist Mick Abrahams, formerly of Jethro Tull.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/b/blodwyn-pig/ahead-rings-out/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Ahead Rings Out","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Aimee Mann is an American singer-songwriter whose precise, sardonic writing often follows lonely characters through disappointment, self-deception and hard-won clarity.

Across one disc, the compilation catches a band moving quickly from pub-rock muscle towards new-wave economy without losing its instinct for oversized melodies, making it a concise introduction rather than simply a roll-call of hits.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-motors/airport-the-motors-greatest-hits/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Airport - The Motors Greatest Hits","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Aladdin Sane features the iconic lightning-bolt cover image and includes \u0026lsquo;The Jean Genie\u0026rsquo; and \u0026lsquo;Drive-in Saturday\u0026rsquo;.\nIt topped the UK Albums Chart on release and is sometimes described as \u0026lsquo;Ziggy goes to America\u0026rsquo;, documenting the band\u0026rsquo;s experiences on their first North American tour.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/d/david-bowie/aladdin-sane/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Aladdin Sane","type":"releases"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/album-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Album Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Note: For early (pre-1975) releases by the group named \u0026lsquo;Alice Cooper\u0026rsquo;, please see the band page for Alice Cooper.\nAlice Cooper (born February 4, 1948, Detroit, Michigan, USA) is an American singer, songwriter and actor.

After finally landing back in NJ permanently at the age of 8, she was often called upon to watch over her younger siblings at home while her mom worked. Seeking an escape from the daily hardships of life, she found refuge in pop artists such as Lady Gaga, Kesha, Bruno Mars, and her \u0026ldquo;idol\u0026rdquo; Selena Gomez. \u0026ldquo;All I really had to entertain myself was pop culture,\u0026rdquo; she says of years spent watching pop music videos, artist interviews, and concert footage on YouTube.\nPerhaps unsurprisingly, Ambar knew at a young age that she wanted to make music professionally someday, something that gave her a sense of comfort and hope when she needed it most. However, her complicated upbringing and where she came from, as she tells it, made it seem like a \u0026ldquo;very unrealistic thing to want to be an artist.\u0026rdquo; Undeterred, she convinced herself that music was her destiny: At school she joined clubs such as chorus and band, and started learning how to play the ukulele and piano. At age 11, she started teaching herself how to play the guitar with the help of YouTube tutorials and instructional DVDs because, as she recalls, \u0026ldquo;I was a huge One Direction fan and wanted something to bond over with Niall Horan.\u0026rdquo;\nAround the same time, she began uploading song covers to YouTube, but it wasn\u0026rsquo;t until she went through her first real breakup at the age of 15 that she realized she had her own unique stories to share. \u0026ldquo;It was my first real breakup. I was really sad and needed some kind of outlet to release what I was feeling,\u0026rdquo; she explains. \u0026ldquo;The idea to write a song popped into my head and I was like, \u0026lsquo;I\u0026rsquo;ve been playing guitar for so long, why have I never written my own song?\u0026rdquo; Curling up in her bathtub (\u0026ldquo;probably for that reverb\u0026rdquo;), Ambar strummed the pain away on her guitar and recorded the song in a voice memo. In that moment, she officially became a singer-songwriter in her own right.\nNot long after, she began uploading her original songs to SoundCloud \u0026ndash; folk-tinged, bilingual indie pop and R\u0026amp;B tracks tackling the hopelessness and sadness that teens often face in today\u0026rsquo;s complex world. Songs such as \u0026ldquo;A letter to my younger self\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Mar de Llanto\u0026rsquo;\u0026rsquo; allowed Ambar to navigate her struggle with depression and the feeling that even her loved ones thought she was \u0026ldquo;crazy\u0026rdquo; for following her dreams. Over time, a passionate fanbase began to grow organically, with her songs offering both Ambar and her listeners a sense of catharsis, solidarity, and belonging.\nIn her later teens, Ambar\u0026rsquo;s sonic palette began to expand past the shiny world of pop she\u0026rsquo;d been so obsessed with as a kid. Soon, she discovered psychedelic rock, a genre that \u0026ldquo;changed the game\u0026rdquo; for her. But it was Pink Floyd\u0026rsquo;s iconic 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, that helped her realize the special power that music had: \u0026ldquo;I realized music can not only make you feel good, but it can literally make you feel like you\u0026rsquo;re in outer space. It changed the kind of experience I wanted to create for people. I realized I wanted to make music that would impact people in that way, like they\u0026rsquo;re not on planet Earth or that they\u0026rsquo;re more than what they are in that moment.\u0026rdquo;\nCoupled with what Ambar refers to as a \u0026ldquo;conscious spiritual journey,\u0026rdquo; this psychedelic discovery sparked a new evolution in Ambar\u0026rsquo;s sound and aesthetic, creating a whole new world for the dynamic artist: a rainbow-hued cosmic realm of flowers, mushrooms, faeries, and butterflies, all enveloped in a soundscape of soulful vocals, trippy psych-rock, and lush electronics as heard on her transcendent Garden of Lucid album, released in 2020.\nInspired by a transformative trip to the desert, Ambar\u0026rsquo;s latest kaleidoscopic single, \u0026ldquo;Get Lost in the Music,\u0026rdquo; continues her journey into that prismatic world. With more new music on the way, Ambar is on a mission to touch as many souls as she can through her inimitable sonic storytelling. Above all, she just wants to manifest a little radical self-love and empowerment with her music: \u0026ldquo;I\u0026rsquo;m healing our generational trauma.\u0026rdquo;\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/a/ambar-lucid/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Ambar Lucid","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/ambient/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Ambient","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/ambient-pop/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Ambient Pop","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/ambient-techno/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Ambient Techno","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # American IV - The Man Comes Around is best known for its devastatingly raw cover of Nine Inch Nails\u0026rsquo; \u0026lsquo;Hurt\u0026rsquo;, accompanied by a music video widely regarded as one of the greatest ever made.\nThe album was released just months before Cash\u0026rsquo;s death in September 2003.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/j/johnny-cash/american-iv-the-man-comes-around/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"American IV - The Man Comes Around","type":"releases"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/american-punk/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"American Punk","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/americana/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Americana","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # An American Prayer is a document of Morrison\u0026rsquo;s considerable gifts as a poet and performer, and includes the track \u0026lsquo;A Feast of Friends\u0026rsquo;.\nSpoken-word recordings made by Morrison in 1969 and 1970 are paired with later musical accompaniment from the remaining members of The Doors.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/j/jim-morrison/an-american-prayer/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"An American Prayer","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # American musician and author, born 17 April 1955 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

They are often cited as pioneers of heavy metal music. The band helped define the genre with their first three albums Black Sabbath, Paranoid (both 1970), and Master of Reality (1971). Following Osbourne\u0026rsquo;s departure in 1979, the band underwent multiple line-up changes, with Iommi being the only constant member throughout its history. After previous iterations of the group – the Polka Tulk Blues Band, and Earth – the band settled on the name Black Sabbath in 1969. They distinguished themselves through occult themes with horror-inspired lyrics and down-tuned guitars. Signing to Philips Records in November 1969, they released their first single, a cover of the Crow song \u0026ldquo;Evil Woman\u0026rdquo;, in January 1970, and their debut album, Black Sabbath, was released the following month. Though it received a negative critical response, the album was a commercial success, leading to a follow-up record, Paranoid, later that year. The band\u0026rsquo;s popularity grew, and by 1973\u0026rsquo;s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, critics were starting to respond favourably. This album, along with its predecessor Vol. 4 (1972) and its successors Sabotage (1975), Technical Ecstasy (1976) and Never Say Die! (1978), saw the band explore more experimental and progressive styles. Osbourne\u0026rsquo;s excessive substance abuse led to his firing in 1979. He was replaced by former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Sabbath recorded three albums with Dio: Heaven and Hell (1980), Mob Rules (1981) and the live album Live Evil (1982), the last two featuring drummer Vinny Appice replacing Ward. Following Dio and Appice\u0026rsquo;s departures, Iommi and Butler recorded Born Again (1983) with then-former Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan and Ward returning on drums, while the latter was replaced by then-Electric Light Orchestra drummer Bev Bevan on the subsequent tour. Black Sabbath split in 1984, with Iommi assembling a new version of the band the following year. For the next twelve years, the band endured many personnel changes that included vocalists Glenn Hughes (who appeared on 1986\u0026rsquo;s Seventh Star), Ray Gillen and Tony Martin, as well as several drummers and bassists; of the vocalists during these years, Martin\u0026rsquo;s tenure was the longest, joining the band in 1987 and recording three studio albums before his initial departure in 1991: The Eternal Idol (1987), Headless Cross (1989), and Tyr (1990). That same year, Iommi reunited with Butler, Dio and Appice to record Dehumanizer (1992), though Dio and Appice had both departed again by the end of 1992. Martin returned as vocalist for two more studio albums, Cross Purposes (1994) and Forbidden (1995), and one live album before the band went on a one-year hiatus during 1996. The original line-up of Iommi, Osbourne, Butler and Ward reunited in 1997, releasing a live album, Reunion, in the following year, and continuing to tour sporadically until 2005, most of which saw Black Sabbath headline Osbourne\u0026rsquo;s annual festival tour Ozzfest. The band went on another hiatus in 2006 when the Mob Rules line-up reunited as Heaven \u0026amp; Hell, touring during the late 2000s and releasing its sole studio album, The Devil You Know, in 2009 before disbanding after Dio\u0026rsquo;s death in the following year. The original line-up of Black Sabbath reunited once again in 2011, though Ward departed prior to the recording of their final studio album and 19th overall, 13 (2013). During their farewell tour, Black Sabbath played its final concert in their home city of Birmingham on 4 February 2017. Occasional partial reunions have occurred since, most recently when Osbourne and Iommi performed together at the closing ceremony of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Black Sabbath have sold over 70 million records worldwide as of 2013, making them one of the most commercially successful heavy metal bands. Black Sabbath, together with Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, have been referred to as the \u0026ldquo;unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-seventies\u0026rdquo;. They were ranked by MTV as the \u0026ldquo;Greatest Metal Band of All Time\u0026rdquo; and placed second on VH1\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock\u0026rdquo; list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 on its \u0026ldquo;100 Greatest Artists of All Time\u0026rdquo; list. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance, and in 2019, the band received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/56848544614 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blacksabbath/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlackSabbath ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/b/black-sabbath/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Black Sabbath","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Black Sabbath reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart and is universally regarded as the founding document of heavy metal music.\nThe title track and \u0026lsquo;The Wizard\u0026rsquo; established the template of doom-laden, distorted guitar riffs and occult imagery that would define the genre.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/b/black-sabbath/black-sabbath/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Black Sabbath","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Black Valentine (Best of) gathers highlights from their long recording career, including \u0026lsquo;Nae Tongues\u0026rsquo; and their best-known work for the label.\nThe collection offers a route through the Glasgow band\u0026rsquo;s alternative-rock catalogue rather than reducing it to a single familiar track.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-filthy-tongues/black-valentine-best-of/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Black Valentine (Best of)","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Collaboratory musical group between Steven Wilson and Aviv Geffen.

The band has sold 25 million records worldwide, including 7 million in the United States. The band\u0026rsquo;s fusion of hard rock with psychedelia, and penchant for occult, fantastical and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, had a major influence on heavy metal music. They developed a cult following and, while achieving mainstream hits like \u0026ldquo;(Don\u0026rsquo;t Fear) The Reaper\u0026rdquo; (1976) and \u0026ldquo;Burnin\u0026rsquo; for You\u0026rdquo; (1981), their commercial success was limited. Both songs, and others such as \u0026ldquo;Godzilla\u0026rdquo; (1977), remain classic rock radio staples. The band were early adopters of the music video format, and their videos received heavy rotation on MTV in its early period. Blue Öyster Cult continued to make studio albums and tour throughout the 1980s, although their popularity had declined such that they were dropped from their longtime label CBS/Columbia Records, following the commercial failure of their eleventh studio album Imaginos (1988). Other than contributing to the soundtrack of the 1992 film Bad Channels and an album of re-recorded material, Cult Classic, in 1994, the band continued as a live act until releasing their first studio album of original material in ten years, Heaven Forbid (1998). The lackluster sales of Curse of the Hidden Mirror (2001) led to another hiatus from studio recording, but they continued performing live within the next decade-and-a-half. Two more studio albums were released in the 2020s, The Symbol Remains (2020) and Ghost Stories (2024), the latter of which is said to be the band\u0026rsquo;s last. Blue Öyster Cult\u0026rsquo;s longest-lasting and the most commercially successful lineup included Donald \u0026ldquo;Buck Dharma\u0026rdquo; Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (lead vocals, \u0026ldquo;stun guitar\u0026rdquo;, keyboards, synthesizer), Allen Lanier (keyboards, rhythm guitar), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals, keyboards), and Albert Bouchard (drums, percussion, vocals, miscellaneous instruments). The band\u0026rsquo;s current lineup still includes Bloom and Roeser, in addition to Danny Miranda (bass, backing vocals), Richie Castellano (keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals), and Jules Radino (drums, percussion). The duo of the band\u0026rsquo;s manager Sandy Pearlman and rock critic Richard Meltzer, who also met at Stony Brook University, played a key role in writing many of the band\u0026rsquo;s lyrics.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blueoystercult ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/b/blue-yster-cult/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Blue Öyster Cult","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/blue-eyed-soul/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Blue-Eyed Soul","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/blues/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Blues","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Blues Obituary documents the band led by Peter Green at the height of their creative powers, showcasing the interplay between Green\u0026rsquo;s expressive guitar work and the rhythm section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/f/fleetwood-mac/blues-obituary/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Blues Obituary","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Blues Obituary earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Natchez Burning”, a selection that offers a direct route into The Groundhogs\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Natchez Burning” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # Natchez Burning ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-groundhogs/blues-obituary/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Blues Obituary","type":"releases"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/blues-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Blues Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/boogie-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Boogie Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Bootblacks is a Brooklyn-based post-punk band that was formed in 2010.

This track was reworked and renamed \u0026lsquo;Carrion\u0026rsquo; which became their first UK Top 40 single in 2003. That year saw the release of their debut album \u0026lsquo;The Decline of British Sea Power\u0026rsquo; on the Rough Trade label.

In mid-60s Phillip Goodhand-Tait formed The Stormsville Shakers, a soul outfit with some singles issued in 1966. In the same year Mel Collins joined the band. A year later they renamed Circus following the \u0026ldquo;blow-up\u0026rdquo; of the psychedelic revolution. Two singles produced by Manfred Mann’s singer Mike D’Arbo in 1967 failed to chart. But their song “Gone Are The Songs Of Yesterday” was covered by Love Affair on the flip side of their hit single “Everlasting Love”. When Goodhand-Tait left to write more material for Love Affair, Circus decided to move away from the singles market and go into more experimental territory, developing a jazz fusion style. At this time the band consisted of Ian Jeffs on guitar and vocals, drummer Alan Bunn, bass player Kirk Riddle and renowned sax and flute player Mel Collins. In April 1969, Circus began a residency at The Marquee along with Keith Tippet\u0026rsquo;s group, John Surman\u0026rsquo;s group ​and the newly formed King Crimson. After signing with Transatlantic Records and just two weeks before the recording, the drummer Alan Bunn was replaced by Chris Burrows. Circus entered Morgan Studios with producer Ray Singer who had achieved success with Ray Sarstedt’s hit “ Where Do You Go To My Lovely.” The album was recorded in just two days.

Bass duties later passed to Terry Todd, who appeared on several of the band\u0026rsquo;s later recordings.\nAfter shortening their name from \u0026ldquo;The Comsat Angels\u0026rdquo; to \u0026ldquo;Comsat Angels\u0026rdquo; in the late 1980s, the band continued to record and tour throughout the early 1990s. They released My Mind\u0026rsquo;s Eye in 1992 before disbanding in 1995. The original lineup later reunited for a one-off performance at the Sensoria Festival in Sheffield in 2009.\nLineup # Steve Fellows, Andy Peake, Mik Glaisher, Terry Todd\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/c/comsat-angels/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Comsat Angels","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Belgian Post-Punk band.\nCurrent Lineup # Geert Plessers, Christophe Vandewoude, Dirk Neyens, Roel Vanbuel, Dirk Thielemans\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/c/confuse-the-cat/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Confuse The Cat","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # British musician and visual artist who lives in Austin, Texas.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/c/conrad-keely/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Conrad Keely","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/contemporary-folk/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Contemporary Folk","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/contemporary-pop/rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Contemporary Pop/Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/contemporary-rb/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Contemporary R\u0026B","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Pop/rock band from Glasgow, United Kingdom.

The band consisted of lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter John Fogerty, his brother, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford. These members had played together since 1959, first as the Blue Velvets and later as the Golliwogs, before settling on Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967. The band\u0026rsquo;s most prolific and successful period between 1969 and 1971 produced fourteen consecutive Top 10 singles (many of which were double A-sides) and five consecutive Top 10 albums in the United States, two of which – Green River (1969) and Cosmo\u0026rsquo;s Factory (1970) — topped the Billboard 200 chart. The band performed at the 1969 Woodstock festival in Upstate New York, and was the first major act signed to appear there. CCR disbanded acrimoniously in late 1972 after four years of chart-topping success. Tom Fogerty had quit the band the year before, and John was at odds with the remaining members over matters of business and artistic control, all of which resulted in lawsuits among the former bandmates. John\u0026rsquo;s disagreements with Fantasy Records owner Saul Zaentz led to more court cases and John refused to perform with the two other surviving members of the band — Tom had died in 1990 — at Creedence\u0026rsquo;s 1993 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Though the band has never publicly reunited, John continues to perform CCR songs as part of his solo act, while Cook and Clifford performed as Creedence Clearwater Revisited from 1995 to 2020. CCR\u0026rsquo;s music remains popular and is a staple of U.S. classic rock radio airplay; 45 million CCR records have been sold in the U.S. alone. The compilation album Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, originally released in 1976, is still on the Billboard 200 and reached the 600-week mark in August 2022. It has been certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for at least 12 million copies sold in the U.S.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CCR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/creedence_ccr/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/theofficialCCR ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/c/creedence-clearwater-revival/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Creedence Clearwater Revival","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Creedence Clearwater Revival (Expanded Edition) earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “I Put A Spell On You”, a selection that offers a direct route into Creedence Clearwater Revival\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “I Put A Spell On You” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # I Put A Spell On You ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/c/creedence-clearwater-revival/creedence-clearwater-revival-expanded-edition/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Creedence Clearwater Revival (Expanded Edition)","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Crosby, Stills, Nash \u0026amp; Young (CSNY) was the name given to vocal folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash when joined by Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young, who was an occasional fourth member.\nCurrent Lineup # Neil Young, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Graham Nash\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/c/crosby-stills-nash-young/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Crosby, Stills, Nash \u0026 Young","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/crossover-prog/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Crossover Prog","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Cud are a British indie rock band formed in Cudworth In 1987.\nCurrent Lineup # Carl Puttnam, Mike Dunphy, William Potter, Gogs Byrn\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/c/cud/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Cud","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # “Cuddly Toy” is the third track on Roachford\u0026rsquo;s self-titled debut album.

Regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Bowie was acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft has had a significant impact on popular music. Bowie developed an interest in music from an early age. He studied art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. He released a string of unsuccessful singles with local bands and a self-titled solo album (1967) before achieving his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart with \u0026ldquo;Space Oddity\u0026rdquo; (1969). After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The character was spearheaded by the success of \u0026ldquo;Starman\u0026rdquo; and its album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (both 1972), which won him widespread popularity. In 1975, Bowie\u0026rsquo;s style shifted towards a sound he characterised as \u0026ldquo;plastic soul\u0026rdquo;, initially alienating many of his UK fans but garnering his first major US crossover success with the number-one single \u0026ldquo;Fame\u0026rdquo; and the album Young Americans (both 1975). In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station. In 1977, he again changed direction with the electronic-inflected album Low, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the Berlin Trilogy. \u0026ldquo;Heroes\u0026rdquo; (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise. After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had three number-one hits: the 1980 single \u0026ldquo;Ashes to Ashes\u0026rdquo;, its album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and \u0026ldquo;Under Pressure\u0026rdquo; (a 1981 collaboration with Queen). He achieved his greatest commercial success in the 1980s with Let\u0026rsquo;s Dance (1983). Between 1988 and 1992, he fronted the hard rock band Tin Machine before resuming his solo career in 1993. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. He also continued acting; his roles included Major Jack Celliers in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986), Phillip Jeffries in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992), Andy Warhol in the biopic Basquiat (1996), and Nikola Tesla in The Prestige (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos. He ceased touring after 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006. He returned from a decade-long recording hiatus in 2013 with The Next Day and remained musically active until his death from liver cancer in 2016. He died two days after both his 69th birthday and the release of his final album, Blackstar. During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million worldwide, made him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. Often dubbed the \u0026ldquo;chameleon of rock\u0026rdquo; due to his constant musical reinventions, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rolling Stone ranked him among the greatest artists in history. As of 2022, Bowie was the best-selling vinyl artist of the 21st century.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbowie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbowie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidBowieReal Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/davidbowie ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/d/david-bowie/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"David Bowie","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # David Latto is a Scottish singer-songwriter whose work sits between folk-informed storytelling and concise indie-rock craft, with melody and place at the centre of his writing.

They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio and television and in films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor. He established himself as a singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. Martin became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together with several others formed the Rat Pack. Starting in 1965, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centered on Martin\u0026rsquo;s singing and comedic talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanor.

Soon after the release of the album, Clarke decided to quit the band, leaving them to record their next album, 1982\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;A Broken Frame,\u0026rdquo; as a trio. Gore took over lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke\u0026rsquo;s spot, thus establishing a line-up that would continue for the next thirteen years.\n1983\u0026rsquo;s groundbreaking \u0026ldquo;Construction Time Again,\u0026rdquo; and 1984\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Some Great Reward,\u0026rdquo; gained the band extensive popularity in the US.

This album was recorded during the height of Dave Gahan\u0026rsquo;s near-fatal drug abuse, Martin Gore\u0026rsquo;s alcoholism and seizures, along with Andrew Fletcher\u0026rsquo;s bout with serious depression. For these reasons, there was no worldwide tour for this album. In 1998, the band released \u0026ldquo;The Singles 81 \u0026gt; 85,\u0026rdquo; which was a re-issue of 1985\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;The Singles 81 → 85.\u0026rdquo; The latter release contained \u0026ldquo;Photographic (Some Bizarre Version)\u0026rdquo; \u0026amp; \u0026ldquo;Just Can\u0026rsquo;t Get Enough (Schizo Remix).\u0026rdquo;\nThey also released \u0026ldquo;The Singles 86\u0026gt;98,\u0026rdquo; and there was a subsequent world tour, titled \u0026ldquo;The Singles Tour.\u0026rdquo;\nThe release of 2001\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Exciter,\u0026rdquo; confirmed Depeche Mode\u0026rsquo;s willingness to remain together, the subsequent, and very successful. The \u0026ldquo;Exciter Tour,\u0026rdquo; was their first tour in support of an original album since 1993. Again, the band did tour in 1998 to support the aforementioned \u0026ldquo;The Singles 86–98,\u0026rdquo; compilation albums.\nDepeche Mode have had fifty songs in the UK Singles Chart and thirteen top 10 albums in the UK charts, two of which debuted at No. 1. Depeche Mode have to this day sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the most commercially successful electronic bands and one of the world\u0026rsquo;s best-selling music artists. Q magazine calls Depeche Mode \u0026ldquo;the most popular electronic band the world has ever known,\u0026rdquo; and included the band in the list of the \u0026ldquo;50 Bands That Changed the World!\u0026rdquo; Depeche Mode also rank number 98 on VH1\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;100 Greatest Artists Of All Time.\u0026rdquo;\nCurrent lineup: Martin L.

From early on she studied both classical and jazz, accompanying her father’s gospel choir before joining his New Orleans-style band, and performing as a piano soloist with the San Diego Symphony at 14.\nDuring the seventies, she played piano in the improvisational scene around San Diego and Los Angeles with musicians such as Mark Dresser or Butch Morris. She made her performance debut at the Festival d’Avignon in 1979, where she sang the lead role in Vinko Globokar’s opera, \u0026ldquo;Un jour comme un autre\u0026rdquo;. While in France, Galás also performed Iannis Xenakis’s work with l’Ensemble intercontemporain and Musique vivante.\nGalás first rose to international prominence with her quadrophonic performances of Wild Women with Steak Knives (1980) and The Litanies of Satan (1982).\nLater she created the controversial Plague Mass - a requiem for those dead and dying of AIDS - performed at Saint John the Divine cathedral in New York City.

After several early changes, the band\u0026rsquo;s line-up settled in May 1980 as Rhodes, Taylor, singer Simon Le Bon, guitarist Andy Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor. Emerging as members of the New Romantic scene, Duran Duran were innovators of the music video and a leading band in the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US in the 1980s. By 1984, the band had achieved levels of fame similar to Beatlemania. The band\u0026rsquo;s first major hit was \u0026ldquo;Girls on Film\u0026rdquo; (1981), from their self-titled debut album, the popularity of which was enhanced by a controversial music video. The band\u0026rsquo;s breakthrough second album was Rio (1982), a worldwide hit. The songs \u0026ldquo;Hungry Like the Wolf\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Rio\u0026rdquo; featured cinematic music videos directed by Australian film maker Russell Mulcahy and became two of their biggest hits. Their third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, became their only UK number one album and featured the US and UK number one single \u0026ldquo;The Reflex\u0026rdquo;. In 1985, the band topped the US charts with the single \u0026ldquo;A View to a Kill\u0026rdquo; from the soundtrack of the James Bond film of the same title. Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor both left the band before the recording of their fourth album, Notorious (1986), which yielded the top ten title track. Le Bon, Rhodes and John Taylor initially continued as a core trio, before adding drummer Sterling Campbell and former Missing Persons guitarist Warren Cuccurullo as full-time members in 1989, though Campbell departed in 1991. The band spent the late 1980s and early 1990s releasing albums and singles to only moderate success. Their comeback album, 1993\u0026rsquo;s Duran Duran (commonly called The Wedding Album), featured two top ten worldwide hits \u0026ldquo;Ordinary World\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Come Undone\u0026rdquo;. John Taylor left the band in 1997, though four years later, in 2001, a full reunion of the classic 1980–1985 line-up of Le Bon, Rhodes and all three Taylors took place, which led to a number of highly successful concert tours and the 2004 album Astronaut, which reached number three in the UK and top 40 in numerous other countries. The album\u0026rsquo;s lead single \u0026ldquo;(Reach Up for The) Sunrise\u0026rdquo; was an international dance hit, and reached number five in the UK. Andy Taylor left again in 2006, and the band have released five additional albums, with the most recent being Danse Macabre in 2023. According to Billboard, Duran Duran have sold over 100 million records. They achieved 30 top 40 singles in the UK Singles Chart (14 of them top 10) and 21 top 40 singles in the US Billboard Hot 100. The band have won numerous awards throughout their career: two Brit Awards including the 2004 award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, two Grammy Awards, an MTV Video Music Award for Lifetime Achievement and a Video Visionary Award from the MTV Europe Music Awards. They were also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The band were inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/duranduran Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duranduran/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/duranduran ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/d/duran-duran/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Duran Duran","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Duran Duran earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Planet Earth”, a selection that offers a direct route into Duran Duran\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Planet Earth” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/d/duran-duran/duran-duran/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Duran Duran","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # East Side Story reached number 19 on the UK Albums Chart and is widely regarded as one of their finest achievements, co-produced by Elvis Costello.\nThe album draws on soul, pub rock, and skiffle to create a rich, eclectic sound underpinned by the songwriting partnership of Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/s/squeeze/east-side-story/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"East Side Story","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Led by Roky Erickson, Easter Everywhere is a remarkable document of the psychedelic movement\u0026rsquo;s most experimental outer reaches, combining electric jug, distorted guitar, and ecstatic vocal performances.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-13th-floor-elevators/easter-everywhere/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Easter Everywhere","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Easy earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Friday On My Mind”, a selection that offers a direct route into The Easybeats\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Friday On My Mind” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-easybeats/easy/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Easy","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Echo \u0026amp; the Bunnymen emerged from Liverpool\u0026rsquo;s post-punk scene with Ian McCulloch\u0026rsquo;s commanding voice set against Will Sergeant\u0026rsquo;s atmospheric guitar, Les Pattinson\u0026rsquo;s bass and Pete de Freitas\u0026rsquo;s propulsive drumming.

Mark\u0026rsquo;s brother keyboardist and back up vocalist Craig Potter joined soon afterwards.\nThey changed their name to Elbow in 1997 after Guy heard a character from a BBC TV Drama \u0026ldquo;The Singing Detective\u0026rdquo; say that the word \u0026ldquo;Elbow\u0026rdquo; is the most sensual word in the English language, not for its definition, but for how it feels to say and how it looks on the page.\nThey were also signed by Island Records in 1997, but due to a takeover and indie band jettison-attitude by Universal in 1998, their Steve Osborne produced debut album was scrapped.

With more than 400 scores for cinema and television, as well as more than 100 classical works, Morricone is widely considered one of the most prolific and greatest film composers of all time. He received numerous accolades including two Academy Awards, three Grammy Awards, three Golden Globes, six BAFTAs, ten David di Donatello, eleven Nastro d\u0026rsquo;Argento, two European Film Awards, the Golden Lion Honorary Award, and the Polar Music Prize in 2010. His filmography includes more than 70 award-winning films, all Sergio Leone\u0026rsquo;s films since A Fistful of Dollars, all Giuseppe Tornatore\u0026rsquo;s films since Cinema Paradiso, Dario Argento\u0026rsquo;s Animal Trilogy, as well as The Battle of Algiers (1968), 1900 (1976), La Cage aux Folles (1978), Le Professionnel (1981), The Thing (1982), and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1989). He received Academy Award for Best Original Score nominations for Days of Heaven (1978), The Mission (1986), The Untouchables (1987), Bugsy (1991), Malèna (2000) and The Hateful Eight (2015), winning for the latter. He won the Academy Honorary Award in 2007. His score to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential soundtracks in history. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. After playing the trumpet in jazz bands in the 1940s, he became a studio arranger for RCA Victor and in 1955 started ghost writing for film and theatre. Throughout his career, he composed music for artists such as Paul Anka, Mina, Milva, Zucchero, and Andrea Bocelli. From 1960 to 1975, Morricone gained international fame for composing music for Westerns and—with an estimated 10 million copies sold—Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the best-selling scores worldwide. From 1966 to 1980, he was a main member of Il Gruppo, one of the first experimental composers collectives, and in 1969 he co-founded Forum Music Village, a prestigious recording studio. He continued to compose music for European productions, such as Marco Polo, La piovra, Nostromo, Fateless, Karol, and En mai, fais ce qu\u0026rsquo;il te plait. Morricone composed for Hollywood directors such as Don Siegel, Mike Nichols, Brian De Palma, Barry Levinson, Oliver Stone, Warren Beatty, John Carpenter, and Quentin Tarantino. He has also worked with directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Mauro Bolognini, Giuliano Montaldo, Roland Joffé, Roman Polanski, Henri Verneuil, Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi, Gillo Pontecorvo, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. His best-known compositions include \u0026ldquo;The Ecstasy of Gold\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Se telefonando\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Man with a Harmonica\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Here\u0026rsquo;s to You\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Chi Mai\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Gabriel\u0026rsquo;s Oboe\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;E Più Ti Penso\u0026rdquo;.

Apple has received numerous awards and nominations, including three Grammy Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and a Billboard Music Award. The youngest daughter of the actor Brandon Maggart, Apple was born in New York City and was raised alternating between her mother\u0026rsquo;s home in New York and her father\u0026rsquo;s in Los Angeles. Classically trained on piano as a child, she began composing her own songs when she was eight years old. Her debut album, Tidal, containing songs written when she was in her teens, was released in 1996 and received a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single \u0026ldquo;Criminal\u0026rdquo;. She followed with When the Pawn\u0026hellip; (1999), produced by Jon Brion, which was also critically and commercially successful and was certified Platinum. For her third album, Extraordinary Machine (2005), Apple again collaborated with Brion and began recording the album in 2002. However, Apple was reportedly unhappy with the production and opted not to release the record, leading fans to protest Epic Records, erroneously believing that the label was withholding its release. The album was eventually re-produced without Brion and released in October 2005. The album was certified Gold, and nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Eminently unfashionable in the UK punk era, they first found success in Japan.\nAfter three albums with Ariola-Hansa, they switched to Virgin Records in 1980 and found their fortunes dramatically improving thanks to the surge of popularity in the New Romantic movement.

Their albums Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980) and Tin Drum (1981) were also well received. Rob Dean left the band after Gentlemen Take Polaroids but continued working with the band for one more tour thereafter.\nDisagreements between Karn and Sylvian undermined the band\u0026rsquo;s progress just as they were achieving some long-overdue success, and they split in late 1982.

He is widely regarded as the greatest guitarist in the history of popular music and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as \u0026ldquo;arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.\u0026rdquo; Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at age 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville, then Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin\u0026rsquo; circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers\u0026rsquo; backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals became his manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience (consisting of bassist Noel Redding, drummer Mitch Mitchell, and Hendrix himself): \u0026ldquo;Hey Joe\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Purple Haze\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;The Wind Cries Mary\u0026rdquo;. He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one on the US Billboard 200. The double LP was Hendrix\u0026rsquo;s most commercially successful release and his only number one album. The world\u0026rsquo;s highest-paid rock musician, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death in London from barbiturate-related asphyxia in September 1970. Hendrix was inspired by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in popularizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He was also one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of tone-altering effects units in mainstream rock, such as fuzz distortion, Octavia, wah-wah, and Uni-Vibe. He was the first musician to use stereophonic phasing effects in recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: \u0026ldquo;Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began.\u0026rdquo; Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop Musician of the Year and in 1968, Billboard named him the Artist of the Year and Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970, Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked the band\u0026rsquo;s three studio albums, Are You Experienced (1967), Axis: Bold as Love (1967), and Electric Ladyland (1968), among the \u0026ldquo;500 Greatest Albums of All Time\u0026rdquo;, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth-greatest artist of all time.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/38858586087 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimihendrix/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JimiHendrix ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/j/jimi-hendrix/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Jimi Hendrix","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # John Barleycorn Must Die reached number five on the UK Albums Chart and is regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential British rock albums of the era, blending folk, jazz, and psychedelia.\nThe album features Steve Winwood\u0026rsquo;s extraordinary keyboard playing and vocal performances alongside Chris Wood\u0026rsquo;s flute and saxophone work.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/traffic/john-barleycorn-must-die/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"John Barleycorn Must Die","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # John Grant is an American singer, songwriter and musician whose solo work combines baritone confessionals, black humour, lush balladry and electronics.

He gained worldwide fame as the founder, co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles. His work included music, writing, drawings and film. His songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in history as the primary songwriters in the Beatles. Born in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1956, he formed the Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. Sometimes called \u0026ldquo;the smart Beatle\u0026rdquo;, Lennon initially was the group\u0026rsquo;s de facto leader, a role he gradually seemed to cede to McCartney. Through his songwriting in the Beatles, he embraced myriad musical influences, initially writing and co-writing rock and pop-oriented hit songs in the band\u0026rsquo;s early years, then later incorporating experimental elements into his compositions in the latter half of the Beatles\u0026rsquo; career as his songs became known for their increasing innovation. Lennon soon expanded his work into other media by participating in numerous films, including How I Won the War, and authoring In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works, both collections of nonsense writings and line drawings. Starting with \u0026ldquo;All You Need Is Love\u0026rdquo;, his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture of the 1960s. In 1969, he started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, multimedia artist Yoko Ono, held the two-week-long anti-war demonstration bed-in for peace, and left the Beatles to embark on a solo career. Lennon and Ono collaborated on many works, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums and several more films. After the Beatles disbanded, Lennon released his solo debut John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and the international top-10 singles \u0026ldquo;Give Peace a Chance\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Instant Karma!\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Imagine\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;Happy Xmas (War Is Over)\u0026rdquo;. Moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year deportation attempt by the Nixon administration. Lennon and Ono separated from 1973 to 1975, during which time he produced Harry Nilsson\u0026rsquo;s album Pussy Cats. He also had chart-topping collaborations with Elton John (\u0026ldquo;Whatever Gets You thru the Night\u0026rdquo;) and David Bowie (\u0026ldquo;Fame\u0026rdquo;). Following a five-year hiatus, Lennon returned to music in 1980 with the Ono collaboration Double Fantasy. He was murdered by Mark David Chapman, three weeks after the album\u0026rsquo;s release. As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number-one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his second-best-selling non-Beatles album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. That year, he won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC history poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and 38th greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994).\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnlennon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnlennonofficial/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/johnlennon ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/j/john-lennon/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"John Lennon","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # John Peel Session earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Ligotage”, a selection that offers a direct route into Adam \u0026amp; The Ants\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Ligotage” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # Ligotage ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/a/adam-and-the-ants/john-peel-session/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"John Peel Session","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Johnny Cash was an American singer-songwriter whose deep baritone and spare, train-like rhythms became central to country music while reaching far beyond it.

Led by guitarist Robert Fripp, they drew inspiration from a wide variety of music, incorporating elements of classical, jazz, folk, heavy metal, gamelan, blues, industrial, electronic, experimental music and new wave. They exerted a strong influence on the early 1970s progressive rock movement, including on contemporaries such as Yes and Genesis, and continue to inspire subsequent generations of artists across multiple genres. The band has earned a large cult following, especially in the 21st century. Founded by Fripp, Michael Giles, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and Peter Sinfield, the band initially focused on a dramatic sound layered with Mellotron, McDonald\u0026rsquo;s saxophone and flute, Giles\u0026rsquo; complex and polyrhythmic drumming, Fripp\u0026rsquo;s atmospheric guitar sound, and Lake\u0026rsquo;s bass and powerful lead vocals, with gothic lyricism by Sinfield and creative directions by all members of the band. Their debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King (1969), remains their most commercially successful and influential release, with a potent mixture of jazz, classical and experimental music. Following the sudden simultaneous departures of McDonald and Giles (with Lake leaving very shortly afterwards), the next two albums, In the Wake of Poseidon and Lizard (both 1970), were recorded during a period of instability in the band\u0026rsquo;s line-up. A settled band of Fripp, Sinfield, Mel Collins, Boz Burrell and Ian Wallace recorded Islands in 1971, though in mid-1972, Fripp let go of this line-up and changed the group\u0026rsquo;s instrumentation and approach, drawing from European free improvisation and developing ever more complex compositions. With Bill Bruford (formerly of Yes), John Wetton, David Cross, and briefly Jamie Muir, they reached what some saw as a creative peak on Larks\u0026rsquo; Tongues in Aspic (1973), Starless and Bible Black (1974), and Red (1974). King Crimson disbanded at the end of 1974. After seven years of inactivity, King Crimson was recreated in 1981 with another change in musical direction. The new band comprised Fripp, Bruford and two new American members: Adrian Belew, who previously worked with David Bowie, Frank Zappa and Talking Heads, and Tony Levin, a prolific session musician who was noted for his studio and live work with Peter Gabriel. They drew influence from African music, gamelan, post-punk and New York minimalism. This band lasted three years, resulting in the trio of albums Discipline (1981), Beat (1982) and Three of a Perfect Pair (1984). Following a decade-long hiatus, they reformed in 1994, adding Pat Mastelotto, formerly of Mr. Mister, and Trey Gunn for a sextet line-up Fripp called \u0026ldquo;The Double Trio\u0026rdquo;. The double trio participated in another three-year cycle of activity that included the release of Thrak (1995), and multiple concert recordings. There was a hiatus between 1997 and 2000. Fripp, Belew, Mastelotto and Gunn reunited in 2000 as a more industrial-oriented King Crimson, called \u0026ldquo;The Double Duo\u0026rdquo;, releasing The Construkction of Light (2000) and The Power to Believe (2003). After a five-year hiatus, the band added Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree as a second drummer, with Levin returning in place of Gunn, for a 2008 tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of their 1968 formation. Following another hiatus (2009–2012), during which Fripp was thought to be retired, King Crimson came together again in 2013; this time as a septet (and, later, octet) with an unusual three-drumkit frontline, and new second guitarist and singer Jakko Jakszyk. This version of King Crimson continued to tour from 2014 to 2021, and released multiple live albums. After the band\u0026rsquo;s final show in 2021, Fripp commented that King Crimson had \u0026ldquo;moved from sound to silence.\u0026rdquo;\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kingcrimsonofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kingcrimsonhq/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/dgmhq ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/k/king-crimson/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"King Crimson","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Kirsten Adamson is a Scottish singer-songwriter whose work draws on country, folk and roots rock while retaining a clear identity of its own.

The band comprised Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass and keyboards) and John Bonham (drums). With a heavy, guitar-driven sound and drawing from influences including blues and folk music, Led Zeppelin are cited as a progenitor of hard rock and heavy metal. They significantly influenced the music industry, particularly in the development of album-oriented rock and stadium rock. Led Zeppelin evolved from a previous band, the Yardbirds, and were originally named the New Yardbirds. They signed a deal with Atlantic Records that gave them considerable artistic freedom. Initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with eight studio albums over ten years. Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and features such tracks as \u0026ldquo;Good Times Bad Times\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Dazed and Confused\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Communication Breakdown\u0026rdquo;. Led Zeppelin II (1969), their first number-one album, includes \u0026ldquo;Whole Lotta Love\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Ramble On\u0026rdquo;. In 1970, they released Led Zeppelin III which opens with \u0026ldquo;Immigrant Song\u0026rdquo;. Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history, with 37 million copies sold. It includes \u0026ldquo;Black Dog\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Rock and Roll\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Stairway to Heaven\u0026rdquo;, with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock. Houses of the Holy (1973) includes \u0026ldquo;The Song Remains the Same\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Over the Hills and Far Away\u0026rdquo;. Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, features \u0026ldquo;The Rover\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Kashmir\u0026rdquo;. Page composed most of Led Zeppelin\u0026rsquo;s music, while Plant wrote most of the lyrics. Jones occasionally contributed keyboard-focused parts, particularly on the band\u0026rsquo;s final album. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their touring and output, which included Presence (1976) and In Through the Out Door (1979), declined in the late 1970s. After Bonham\u0026rsquo;s death in 1980, the group disbanded. The former members have sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off concerts, including the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London, with Bonham\u0026rsquo;s son Jason Bonham on drums. Led Zeppelin are one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated record sales of between 200 and 300 million units worldwide. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums and six number-one albums on the US Billboard 200, with five of their albums certified Diamond in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Rolling Stone described them as \u0026ldquo;the heaviest band of all time\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;the biggest band of the seventies\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history\u0026rdquo;. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum\u0026rsquo;s biography states that they were \u0026ldquo;as influential\u0026rdquo; in the 1970s as the Beatles were in the 1960s.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ledzeppelin Twitter: https://twitter.com/ledzeppelin ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/l/led-zeppelin/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Led Zeppelin","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Led Zeppelin earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “I Can\u0026rsquo;t Quit You Baby”, a selection that offers a direct route into Led Zeppelin\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “I Can\u0026rsquo;t Quit You Baby” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/l/led-zeppelin/led-zeppelin/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Led Zeppelin","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Led Zeppelin II is considered one of the defining works of hard rock and heavy metal.\nIt topped the UK Albums Chart and includes some of the band\u0026rsquo;s most celebrated and influential tracks, including \u0026lsquo;Whole Lotta Love\u0026rsquo; and \u0026lsquo;Ramble On\u0026rsquo;.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/l/led-zeppelin/led-zeppelin-ii/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Led Zeppelin II","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Led Zeppelin III (Remaster) earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Since I\u0026rsquo;ve Been Loving You - Remaster”, a selection that offers a direct route into Led Zeppelin\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Since I\u0026rsquo;ve Been Loving You - Remaster” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # Since I\u0026rsquo;ve Been Loving You - Remaster ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/l/led-zeppelin/led-zeppelin-iii-remaster/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Led Zeppelin III (Remaster)","type":"releases"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/leftfield/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Leftfield","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Leftism reached number three on the UK Albums Chart and is regarded as one of the most important electronic albums of the decade, blending progressive house, dub, and breakbeat.\nThe album features the UK top-twenty single \u0026lsquo;Original\u0026rsquo; and the politically charged anthem \u0026lsquo;Open Up\u0026rsquo;, featuring John Lydon.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/l/leftfield/leftism/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Leftism","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Leonard Albert Kravitz (born May 26, 1964) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor.

Led by Arthur Lee, the band\u0026rsquo;s primary songwriter, they were one of the first racially diverse American rock bands. Their sound incorporated an eclectic range of styles including garage, folk-rock, and psychedelia. While finding only modest success on the music charts, peaking in 1966 when their US Top 40 hit \u0026ldquo;7 and 7 Is\u0026rdquo; made it to number 33, Love would come to be praised by critics as their third album, Forever Changes (1967), became generally regarded as one of the best albums of the 1960s.

By 1968, only Lee remained and he continued recording as Love with varied members through the 1970s. MacLean and Forssi died in 1998. Lee died in 2006.

Bari-Bari had joined Christian Death as bassist while the iconic Rozz Williams was still vocalist (Williams left the band in 1985, with guitarist Valor Kand becoming its lead singer and principal songwriter).\nChristian Death\u0026rsquo;s 1985 album \u0026ldquo;Atrocities\u0026rdquo; and the EPs \u0026ldquo;The Wind Kissed Pictures\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Believers of the Unpure\u0026rdquo; featured Bari-Bari, Johann (bass), and David Glass (drums), all of whom would feature in one or more incarnation of Mephisto Walz.\nFollowing conflict with Kand, Bari-Bari and Johann departed Christian Death. The band’s 1986 album \u0026ldquo;Atrocities\u0026rdquo; includes several tracks composed by Bari-Bari, notably \u0026ldquo;Tales of Innocence\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Strapping Me Down\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;Silent Thunder\u0026rdquo;. Additionally, 1985’s \u0026ldquo;The Wind Kissed Pictures\u0026rdquo; EP features Bari-Bari\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;The Wind Kissed Pictures\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Lacrima Christi\u0026rdquo;, while the \u0026ldquo;Believers of the Unpure\u0026rdquo; single, released in ’86, includes his composition \u0026ldquo;Between Youth\u0026rdquo;.\nThe first incarnation of Mephisto Walz started in Dusseldorf in February 1986, with original members Bari-Bari (the band’s sole songwriter), Johann, and Arndt (drums), plus a German vocalist called Jörge. The name Mephisto Walz was proposed by Johann. They rehearsed songs mainly written by Bari-Bari, but also added soundscapes such as “Aboriginee Requiem”. The band’s eponymous debut album was released on Italian label Supporti Fonografici that same year. In 1987 they moved to Los Angeles, without Johann.\nIn 1988, Bari-Bari started working on tracks with Steven Grey in Hollywood at a studio where the former worked. They regrouped with David Hermon (bass), Mondo (vox) and Nariki Shimooka (guitar). Playing the first EP and some of Bari-Bari\u0026rsquo;s Christian Death material they added new songs that would later be released on the “Crocosmia”, “Terra-Regina” and “Thalia” labels. During this period, what would later become \u0026ldquo;Mephisto Walz Rarities 1989\u0026rdquo; were recorded live in studio.\nIn 1991, Christianna was brought in as vocalist as Bari-Bari felt that male vocals were too similar to Williams and Christian Death. William Faith was added on bass at the same time. An association with Gymnastic Records was started with the compilation \u0026ldquo;American Gothic\u0026rdquo;, which featured Mephisto Walz’s \u0026ldquo;Tangia\u0026rdquo;. “Crocosmia” was then recorded for European release, consisting of new tracks and some older tracks redone with Christianna on vocals.\nIn 1992, a co-headlined tour with Shadow Project (featuring Williams and Eva O) brought Mephisto Walz back to Germany, where they stayed and recorded \u0026ldquo;As Apostles Forget\u0026rdquo;. Bari-Bari also wrote part of what would be “Terra-Regina” and “Thalia”, before returning to the U.S. In Los Angeles, Johann and Glass were available again and replaced Faith and Grey. Work then began with Bari-Bari and Christianna on the next three complete releases - \u0026ldquo;Eternal Deep\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Terra-Regina\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Thalia\u0026rdquo;, through new label Cleopatra Records.\nIn 1994-1999, Bari-Bari and Christianna completed cover singles for Cleopatra, as well as \u0026ldquo;Early Recordings\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Immersion\u0026rdquo;. The recordings were made with Bari-Bari (all music) and Christianna (vocals). The \u0026ldquo;Nightingale\u0026rdquo; EP was recorded by Bari-Bari and Christianna in 2002 for the Fossil Dungeon label, followed by the album \u0026ldquo;Insidious\u0026rdquo; in 2004.\nFor the next few years, Bari-Bari played and recorded with Scarlet’s Remains and recorded bands in his L.A. studio.\nIn 2011 \u0026ldquo;IIIrd Incarnation\u0026rdquo; was recorded with both Bari-Bari and Sara Reid on vocals. A more aggressive guitar style was reintroduced. Two years later, \u0026ldquo;New Apostles\u0026rdquo; was recorded with Bari-Bari and Myriam Galvin now on vocals.

It was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band\u0026rsquo;s fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding \u0026ldquo;big four\u0026rdquo; bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica\u0026rsquo;s current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine, who formed Megadeth after being fired from Metallica, and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted are former members of the band. Metallica first found commercial success with the release of its third album, Master of Puppets (1986), which is cited as one of the heaviest metal albums and the band\u0026rsquo;s best work. The band\u0026rsquo;s next album, \u0026hellip;And Justice for All (1988), gave Metallica its first Grammy Award nomination. Its fifth album, Metallica (1991), was a turning point for the band that saw them transition from their thrash roots; it appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling more than 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era. After experimenting with different genres and directions in subsequent releases, Metallica returned to its thrash metal roots with its ninth album, Death Magnetic (2008), which drew similar praise to that of the band\u0026rsquo;s earlier albums. The band\u0026rsquo;s eleventh and most recent album, 72 Seasons, was released in 2023. In 2000, Metallica led the case against the peer-to-peer file sharing service Napster, in which the band and several other artists filed lawsuits against the service for sharing their copyright-protected material without consent, eventually reaching a settlement. Metallica was the subject of the acclaimed 2004 documentary film Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, which documented the troubled production of the band\u0026rsquo;s eighth album, St. Anger (2003), and the internal struggles within the band at the time. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band co-wrote the screenplay for and starred alongside Dane DeHaan in the 2013 concert film Metallica: Through the Never, in which the band performed live against a fictional thriller storyline. Metallica has released eleven studio albums, four live albums (including two performances with the San Francisco Symphony), twelve video albums, one cover album, two extended plays, 37 singles and 39 music videos. The band has won ten Grammy Awards from 26 nominations and had six consecutive studio albums – from Metallica through Hardwired\u0026hellip; to Self-Destruct (2016) – debut at number one on the Billboard 200. Metallica ranks as one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, having sold more than 125 million albums worldwide as of 2018. Metallica has been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines such as Rolling Stone, which ranked the band in 61st place on its list of 100 greatest artists of all time. As of 2017, Metallica is the third-best-selling music artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, selling 58 million albums in the United States.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Metallica Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/metallica/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Metallica ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/m/metallica/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Metallica","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Danish vocalist, born 16 March 1949.

Originally known as the Lepers, the band made their name in the burgeoning punk scene where they would get together exclusively to play at parties, until they were picked up by 4AD. Richard Brown (Drums) and Stephen Walker (Keyboards) were subsequently added to the line-up of the band. A debut single, \u0026ldquo;Drowning Man\u0026rdquo; was released in 1980 on the Limp Records label. The band\u0026rsquo;s debut full-length; \u0026ldquo;Mesh \u0026amp; Lace\u0026rdquo;, released by 4AD a year later, it drew heavily on the gloomy post-punk sound already patented by bands such as Joy Division. The follow-up \u0026ldquo;After The Snow\u0026rdquo; showed a huge progression, as they introduced warmth and strong guitar harmonies (most notably on the minor classic \u0026ldquo;I Melt With You\u0026rdquo;), rejecting the tinny bleakness of the debut. It was especially well received in the USA, and the band relocated to New York to consolidate a popularity encouraged by college radio. 1984\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Ricochet Days\u0026rdquo; had a crisper production but less creative experimentation. By the time of \u0026ldquo;Stop Start\u0026rdquo; (1986), the band had left 4AD and Walker and Brown had quit the band and Aaron Davidson (Keyboards, Guitar) had joined. Grey initially returned to England to form a new outfit, but reconvened Modern English in 1990 with Davidson and Conroy and released \u0026ldquo;Pillow Lips\u0026rdquo; on the TVT label in 1990. Robbie Grey with new band members Ted Mason (guitars) and Matthew Shipley (keyboards) co wrote and produced a second release for TVT though it received very little enthusiasm from the label. In 1995, the new Modern English line up recorded and released \u0026ldquo;Everything\u0026rsquo;s Mad\u0026rdquo; on the Imago label. In 1998 the line up changed again, keeping Matthew Shipley and adding Steven Walker (guitars), Ian Robbins (bass) and Jon Solomon (drums). In 1999 Ian was replaced by Nik Williams (bass). In 2001 they recorded a new album \u0026lsquo;Soundtrack\u0026rsquo; with producer Hugh Jones but due to the collapse of the record company it was shelved. Finally in 2010 this album was released by Darla. In 2009 the original band line up, minus Richard Brown, reformed and tour mainly in the US but also did shows in the UK, Europe and Asia. They wrote, recorded and self released a new album with Martyn Young (Colourbox) in 2017 called ‘Take Me To The Trees’. The band continue to tour and are currently working on their next album.\nCurrent Lineup # Robbie Grey, Gary McDowell, Michael Conroy, Stephen Walker, Alex Cook\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/m/modern-english/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Modern English","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/modern-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Modern Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Mod band from the Netherlands.

After embarking on a music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s, Young moved to Los Angeles, joining the folk-rock group Buffalo Springfield. Since the beginning of his solo career, often with backing by the band Crazy Horse, he has released critically acclaimed albums such as Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969), After the Gold Rush (1970), Harvest (1972), On the Beach (1974), and Rust Never Sleeps (1979). He was also a part-time member of Crosby, Stills, Nash \u0026amp; Young, with whom he recorded the chart-topping 1970 album Déjà Vu. Young\u0026rsquo;s guitar work, deeply personal lyrics and signature high tenor singing voice define his long career. He also plays piano and harmonica on many albums, which frequently combine folk, rock, country and other musical genres. His often distorted electric guitar playing, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname \u0026ldquo;Godfather of Grunge\u0026rdquo; and led to his 1995 album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam. More recently he has been backed by Promise of the Real. Young directed (or co-directed) films using the pseudonym \u0026ldquo;Bernard Shakey\u0026rdquo;, including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human Highway (1982), Greendale (2003), CSNY/Déjà Vu (2008), and Harvest Time (2022). He also contributed to the soundtracks of the films Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995). Young has received several Grammy and Juno Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him twice: in 1995 as a solo artist and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield. In 2023, Rolling Stone named Young No. 30 on their list of 250 greatest guitarists of all time. Young is also on Rolling Stone\u0026rsquo;s list of the 100 greatest musical artists, and 21 of his albums and singles have been certified gold or platinum in the U.S. Young was awarded the Order of Manitoba in 2006 and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2009.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NeilYoung Twitter: https://twitter.com/Neilyoung ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/n/neil-young/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Neil Young","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/neo-psychedelia/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Neo-Psychedelia","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # New Adventures In Hi-Fi earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “E-Bow The Letter”, a selection that offers a direct route into R.E.M.\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “E-Bow The Letter” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # E-Bow The Letter ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/r/r-e-m/new-adventures-in-hi-fi/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"New Adventures In Hi-Fi","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # New Clear Days earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “News At Ten”, a selection that offers a direct route into The Vapors\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “News At Ten” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-vapors/new-clear-days/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"New Clear Days","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84) earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)”, a selection that offers a direct route into Simple Minds\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/s/simple-minds/new-gold-dream-81-82-83-84/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)","type":"releases"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/new-romantic/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"New Romantic","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # New Rose earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “New Rose”, a selection that offers a direct route into The Damned\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “New Rose” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-damned/new-rose/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"New Rose","type":"releases"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/new-wave/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"New Wave","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/new-york-punk/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"New York Punk","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Nick Cave \u0026amp; The Bad Seeds are an Australian-founded alternative rock band formed in Melbourne in 1983.

It scored 4 points, placing 21st out of 22.

Released in 2010 on Damaged Goods, the album channels the roughed-up energy of early garage punk through an English underground tradition, with Billy Childish\u0026rsquo;s guest bass on \u0026ldquo;Like Poets Often Do\u0026rdquo; underscoring the band\u0026rsquo;s lineage and lending the track a particular gravity. That song is a natural entry point: urgent, direct, and representative of everything the album does well.\nBeyond that highlight, Poets Of England rewards the full listen. The arrangements are lean, the performances ragged in exactly the right way, and there is a wit running through the lyrics — from the blunt attack of \u0026ldquo;Baby Booming Bastards\u0026rdquo; to the slow-burning title track — that sets the band apart from straightforward revivalists.

The recipient of numerous awards and nominations, he is regarded as one of the world\u0026rsquo;s greatest musicians. He was known for his flamboyant, androgynous persona; his wide vocal range, which included a far-reaching falsetto and high-pitched screams; and his skill as a multi-instrumentalist, often preferring to play all or most of the instruments on his recordings. His music incorporated a wide variety of styles, including funk, R\u0026amp;B, rock, new wave, soul, synth-pop, pop, jazz, blues, and hip hop. Prince produced his albums himself, pioneering the Minneapolis sound. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the US Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score whilst the movie grossed $70.3 million worldwide, against its $7.2 million budget and publications. Critics have regarded Purple Rain as one of the greatest musical films. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o\u0026rsquo; the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol (known to fans as the \u0026ldquo;Love Symbol\u0026rdquo;) and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist. After moving to Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. Numerous posthumous collections of his previously unheard work have been issued by his estate. Prince sold more than 100 million records worldwide during his lifetime, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards include the Grammy President\u0026rsquo;s Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the U.K. Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music \u0026amp; Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Some of these songs were made popular after being covered by other musicians, including \u0026ldquo;Nothing Compares 2 U\u0026rdquo; by Sinéad O\u0026rsquo;Connor and \u0026ldquo;Manic Monday\u0026rdquo; by the Bangles.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/prince Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prince/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/prince ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/p/prince/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Prince","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/prog-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Prog Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/progressive/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Progressive","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/progressive-country/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Progressive Country","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/progressive-metal/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Progressive Metal","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/progressive-pop/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Progressive Pop","type":"genres"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/progressive-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Progressive Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Synth pop group originating from Düsseldorf, Germany; formed in 1982 by former Die Krupps keyboard player Ralf Dörper and Andreas Thein. The first recordings were made in the summer of 1982 (at \u0026lsquo;Zero Green Studio\u0026rsquo; in Essen, Germany, the reason being that it had a PPG Synthesizer.) Dörper and Thein recorded two songs, \u0026ldquo;Disziplin\u0026rdquo; (political) and \u0026ldquo;Sünde\u0026rdquo; (religious), with vocals provided by Susanne Freytag. The plan was to release them on the London label Operation Twilight which had released Ralf\u0026rsquo;s solo records in the UK. However, Ralf also sent the two songs to Chris Bohn at the NME. This came to the attention of producer Trevor Horn, who signed the band to his label ZTT in 1983.\nA few months before ZTT signed them, the band (incl. drummer Weet) were invited to London to record tracks with Nick Froome at Basing Street Studios in February 1983 (soon to be renamed Sarm West). Trevor Horn, Jill Sinclair and Paul Morley wanted to explore what Propaganda was about and decide whether to sign them based on the material recorded in that session. Demos of \u0026ldquo;Doppelganger\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Radetzky Marsch\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Mabuse\u0026rdquo; were recorded in this session.\nPropaganda has been through several line-up changes in its recording career:\n1984, ZTT (\u0026ldquo;Dr. Mabuse\u0026rdquo;) Claudia Brücken, Ralf Dörper, Susanne Freytag, Michael Mertens, Andreas Thein\n1985, ZTT (\u0026ldquo;Duel\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;A Secret Wish\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;p:Machinery\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Wishful Thinking\u0026rdquo;) Claudia Brücken, Ralf Dörper, Susanne Freytag, Michael Mertens\nClaudia Brücken left Propaganda in 1986 and the remaining members of the group took ZTT to court to release them from their contract. New album demos were recorded in 1987-88. Mertens, Freytag and Dörper were joined by Derek Forbes and Brian McGee along with vocalist Betsi Miller. Although Freytag and Dörper contributed to the new album, they were no longer members by its release.\n1990, Virgin (\u0026ldquo;Heaven Give Me Words\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;1234\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Only One Word\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Your Wildlife\u0026rdquo;) Derek Forbes, Brian McGee, Michael Mertens, Betsi Miller This line-up fizzled out in 1991.\nBy 1998 Mertens was working again with Brücken and Freytag, and in 1999 Propaganda\u0026rsquo;s website announced a new album was being recorded. This line-up were set to sign with EastWest, but this was not to be, and the album remains unreleased, although recordings leaked via the internet. Some of the tracks were recorded by Brücken\u0026rsquo;s act Onetwo and released on \u0026ldquo;Instead\u0026rdquo;.\nIn 2004 Mertens, Freytag, Brücken and Dörper reunited for a performance of Dr. Mabuse to benefit The Prince\u0026rsquo;s Trust and to celebrate Trevor Horn\u0026rsquo;s 25 years in the music industry.\n2005+, Amontillado Music (\u0026ldquo;Valley Of The Machine Gods\u0026rdquo;) Michael Mertens, Susanne Freytag\nIn 2011, Brücken performed a live concert in London and was joined onstage by Dörper and Freytag. Around 2014 Mertens, Brücken, Freytag and Dörper started working together on new material, but the planned reunion did not take place as the two parties had different views on live performances. In 2015 Propaganda (i.e. Dörper and Mertens) was credited for remixing Holly Johnson\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Dancing with Fear\u0026rdquo;.\nBrücken and Freytag reappeared in 2018 on the live circuit, playing concerts on the continent consisting of Propaganda material, under the name Duel. In the UK they toured as X-Propaganda, with Heaven 17 in 2018. With the name stylized as xPropaganda, the duo released a live version of Propaganda\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Secret Wish\u0026rdquo; album (\u0026ldquo;A Secret Place\u0026rdquo;) in 2018, and an album of all new material in 2022 – with Stephen Lipson as producer, who also produced Propaganda in 1985.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/p/propaganda/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Propaganda","type":"artists"},{"content":" About the Album # Propaganda catches Sparks at full creative velocity.

One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck\u0026rsquo;s ringing, arpeggiated guitar style; Stipe\u0026rsquo;s distinctive vocal quality, unique stage presence, and obscure lyrics; Mills\u0026rsquo;s melodic bass lines and backing vocals; and Berry\u0026rsquo;s tight, economical drumming style. In the early 1990s, other alternative rock acts such as Nirvana, Pixies and Pavement viewed R.E.M. as a pioneer of the genre. After Berry left in 1997, the band continued with mixed critical and commercial success. The band broke up amicably in 2011, having sold more than 90 million albums worldwide and becoming one of the world\u0026rsquo;s best-selling music acts. The band released their first single, \u0026ldquo;Radio Free Europe\u0026rdquo;, in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. It was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, their first release on I.R.S. Records. Over the course of the decade, R.E.M. released acclaimed albums, commencing with their debut Murmur (1983), and continuing yearly with Reckoning (1984), Fables of the Reconstruction (1985), Lifes Rich Pageant (1986), Document (1987) and Green (1988). During their most successful period, they worked with the producer Scott Litt. With constant touring, and the support of college radio following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit with the 1987 single \u0026ldquo;The One I Love\u0026rdquo;. They signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing arenas worldwide. R.E.M.\u0026rsquo;s most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), put them in the vanguard of alternative rock as it was becoming mainstream. Out of Time received seven nominations at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards, and the lead single, \u0026ldquo;Losing My Religion\u0026rdquo;, was R.E.M.\u0026rsquo;s highest-charting and best-selling hit. Monster (1994) continued its run of success. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three of the band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract ever. The tour was productive and the band recorded the following album mostly during soundchecks. The resulting record, New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996), is hailed as the band\u0026rsquo;s last great album and the members\u0026rsquo; favorite, growing in cult status over the years. Berry left the band the following year, and Stipe, Buck and Mills continued as a musical trio, supplemented by studio and live musicians, such as the multi-instrumentalists Scott McCaughey and Ken Stringfellow and the drummers Joey Waronker and Bill Rieflin. They also parted ways with their longtime manager Jefferson Holt, at which point the band\u0026rsquo;s attorney Bertis Downs assumed managerial duties. Seeking to also renovate their sound, the band stopped working with Litt, and hired as co-producer Pat McCarthy, who had worked as mixer and engineer on the band\u0026rsquo;s previous two albums. After the electronic experimental direction of Up (1998), which was commercially unsuccessful, Reveal (2001), referred to as \u0026ldquo;a conscious return to their classic sound\u0026rdquo;, received general acclaim. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in its first year of eligibility. Berry reunited with the band for the ceremony, and to record a cover of John Lennon\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;#9 Dream\u0026rdquo; for the 2007 compilation album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur to benefit Amnesty International\u0026rsquo;s campaign to alleviate the Darfur conflict. Looking for a change of sound after lukewarm reception for Around the Sun (2004), the band collaborated with the producer Jacknife Lee on their final two studio albums—the well-received Accelerate (2008) and Collapse into Now (2011). In 2024, the band reunited to perform \u0026ldquo;Losing My Religion\u0026rdquo; at their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/REMhq Twitter: https://twitter.com/remhq ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/r/rem/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"R.E.M.","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/rb/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"R\u0026B","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Radio 4 were an American dance-punk band formed in 1999 in Brooklyn, New York.\nGreg Collins: drums/ percussion Anthony Roman: vocals/ bass/ keyboard Dave Milone: vocals/ guitar Gerard Garone: keyboards P.J.

The cathartic \u0026ldquo;Creep\u0026rdquo;, from the debut album \u0026ldquo;Pablo Honey\u0026rdquo; (1993), became a worldwide hit as grunge music dominated radio airwaves.\nRadiohead were initially branded as a one-hit wonder abroad, but caught on at home in the UK with their second album, \u0026ldquo;The Bends\u0026rdquo; (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and front man Thom Yorke\u0026rsquo;s expressive singing. The album featured the hits \u0026ldquo;High \u0026amp; Dry\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Fake Plastic Trees\u0026rdquo;.\nThe band\u0026rsquo;s third album, \u0026ldquo;OK Computer\u0026rdquo; (1997), propelled them to greater attention. Popular both for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, the album has been acclaimed by critics as a landmark record of the 1990s, some critics go as far to consider it one of the best of all time. \u0026ldquo;Kid A\u0026rdquo; (2000) marked further evolution, containing influences from experimental electronic music.\n\u0026ldquo;Hail To The Thief\u0026rdquo; (2003) was seen as a conventional return to the guitar and piano-led rock sound. After fulfilling their contract with EMI, Radiohead released \u0026ldquo;In Rainbows\u0026rdquo; (2007) famously via a pay-what-you-want model. Their latest album, \u0026ldquo;A Moon Shaped Pool\u0026rdquo;, was released in May 2016.\nRadiohead\u0026rsquo;s original influences were cited as alternative rock and post-punk bands like The Smiths, Pixies, Magazine, Joy Division and Siouxsie \u0026amp; The Banshees, who Thom Yorke claims inspired him to become a performer, and R.E.M. (with lead singer of the band, Thom Yorke, referring to himself as an \u0026lsquo;R.E.M. groupie\u0026rsquo;).\nCurrent Lineup # Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Phil Selway, Colin Greenwood, Ed O\u0026rsquo;Brien\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/r/radiohead/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Radiohead","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/raga-rock/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Raga Rock","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore\u0026rsquo;s Rainbow or Blackmore\u0026rsquo;s Rainbow) are a British rock band formed in Hertford in 1975 by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Established in the aftermath of Blackmore\u0026rsquo;s first departure from Deep Purple, they originally featured four members of the American rock band Elf, including their singer Ronnie James Dio, but after their self-titled debut album, Blackmore fired these members, except Dio, recruiting drummer Cozy Powell, bassist Jimmy Bain, and keyboardist Tony Carey. This line-up recorded the band\u0026rsquo;s second album Rising (1976), while Long Live Rock \u0026rsquo;n\u0026rsquo; Roll (1978) saw Bob Daisley and David Stone replace Bain and Carey, respectively. Long Live Rock \u0026rsquo;n\u0026rsquo; Roll was also the last album with Dio before he left the band to join Black Sabbath in 1979. Rainbow\u0026rsquo;s early work primarily used mystical lyrics with a hard rock/heavy metal style, then went in a more pop-rock oriented direction following Dio\u0026rsquo;s departure from the group. In 1979, Blackmore and Powell revamped the group, recruiting three new members—singer Graham Bonnet, keyboardist Don Airey and another then-former Deep Purple member, bassist Roger Glover—and this line-up gave the band their commercial breakthrough with the single \u0026ldquo;Since You Been Gone\u0026rdquo; from their fourth studio album Down to Earth. With Joe Lynn Turner, who replaced Bonnet in 1980, Rainbow recorded three more albums—Difficult to Cure (1981), Straight Between the Eyes (1982) and Bent Out of Shape (1983)—that had commercial success similar to the band\u0026rsquo;s previous albums. Other members of the band during this period were drummers Bobby Rondinelli and Chuck Burgi and keyboardist David Rosenthal. The band split in 1984, when Blackmore and Glover re-joined Deep Purple. In 1993, after leaving Deep Purple for a second time, Blackmore reformed Rainbow with a new line-up, fronted by a then-unknown Doogie White, which recorded their eighth and last studio album to date Stranger in Us All (1995). Blackmore\u0026rsquo;s change in direction, from rock to Renaissance and medieval-influenced music, led to Rainbow\u0026rsquo;s second dissolution in 1997. He revived the band once again in 2015, and they performed live occasionally within the next few years. Over the years Rainbow went through many personnel changes, with each studio album recorded with a different line-up, leaving Blackmore as the band\u0026rsquo;s only constant member. Their longest serving lineup—which featured Blackmore on guitar, Blackmore\u0026rsquo;s wife Candice Night on backing vocals, Ronnie Romero on lead vocals, Bob Nouveau on bass, David Keith on drums and Jens Johansson on keyboards—lasted from 2015 to 2023, when Romero announced his departure from the band. Rainbow were ranked No. 90 on VH1\u0026rsquo;s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. The band have sold over 28 million records worldwide.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rainbow-189246591087656 ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/r/rainbow/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Rainbow","type":"artists"},{"content":"","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/genres/rainbow-on-cover/","section":"Genres","summary":"","title":"Rainbow on Cover","type":"genres"},{"content":" About # Ram earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Smile Away”, a selection that offers a direct route into Paul McCartney\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Smile Away” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # Smile Away ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/p/paul-mccartney/ram/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Ram","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # USA punk rock band formed in 1974 and disbanded in 1996.\nHailing from Forest Hills - a neighborhood of Queens, New York City (USA) - the original line-up consisted of singer Joey Ramone (Jeffrey Hyman, born May 19th, 1951, died April 15th, 2001), guitarist Johnny Ramone (John Cummings, born October 8th, 1948, died September 15th, 2004), bassist Dee Dee Ramone (Douglas Colvin, born September 18th, 1952, died June 5th, 2002) and drummer Tommy Ramone (Tom Erdelyi, born January 29, 1952, died July 11th, 2014).\nAfter Tommy left the band in early 1978 he was replaced by Marky Ramone (Marc Bell).

By the time the band recorded their first album in 1972, Ferry and Simpson were joined by saxophonist and oboist Andy Mackay, guitarist Phil Manzanera, drummer Paul Thompson and synthesizer player Brian Eno. Other members over the years include keyboardist and violinist Eddie Jobson and bassist John Gustafson. The band split in 1976, reformed in 1978 and split again in 1983. In 2001, Ferry, Mackay, Manzanera and Thompson reunited for a concert tour and have toured together intermittently ever since, most recently in 2022 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first album. Ferry has also frequently enlisted band members as backing musicians during his solo career. Roxy Music became a successful act in Europe and Australia during the 1970s. This success began with their first album in 1972. The band pioneered more musically sophisticated elements of glam rock while significantly influencing early English punk music, and provided a model for many new wave acts while innovating elements of electronic composition. The group also conveyed their distinctive brand of visual and musical sophistication with their focus on glamorous fashions. Roxy Music\u0026rsquo;s final studio album was Avalon (1982), which was certified Platinum in the United States, where the band had spent their first ten years as a moderately successful cult band. Outside of the band, Ferry and Eno have had influential solo careers, with Eno also becoming one of the most significant British record producers of the late 20th century.

The band\u0026rsquo;s original line-up comprised Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey, and bassist and vocalist Jeff Jones, whom Lee immediately replaced. After Lee joined, the band went through a few line-up changes before arriving at its classic power trio line-up with the addition of Peart in July 1974, who replaced Rutsey four months after the release of their self-titled debut album; this line-up was kept intact for the remainder of the band\u0026rsquo;s career. Rush first achieved moderate success with their second album, Fly by Night (1975). The commercial failure of their next album Caress of Steel, released seven months after Fly by Night, resulted in the band almost getting dropped from their then-record label Mercury Records. Rush\u0026rsquo;s fourth album, 2112 (1976), reignited their popularity, becoming their first album to enter the top five on the Canadian charts. Their next two albums, A Farewell to Kings (1977) and Hemispheres (1978), were also successful, with the former becoming Rush\u0026rsquo;s first to enter the UK charts. The band saw their furthest commercial success throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with most albums charting highly in Canada, the US and the UK, including Permanent Waves (1980), Moving Pictures (1981), Signals (1982), Grace Under Pressure (1984), Roll the Bones (1991), Counterparts (1993) and Test for Echo (1996). Rush continued to record and perform until 1997, after which the band went on a four-year hiatus due to personal tragedies in Peart\u0026rsquo;s life. The trio regrouped in 2001 and released three more studio albums: Vapor Trails (2002), Snakes \u0026amp; Arrows (2007), and Clockwork Angels (2012). Rush performed their final concerts in 2015, with Peart retiring from music later that year. Lifeson later commented in January 2018 that the band decided not to resume activity following the R40 Tour, which was later cemented by Peart\u0026rsquo;s death from glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, on January 7, 2020, at the age of 67. Lee and Lifeson have continued to periodically work together since Peart\u0026rsquo;s death, including performing at the 25th anniversary celebration of South Park and tributes to then-recently deceased Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. Rush were known for their virtuosic musicianship, complex compositions and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy and philosophy. The band\u0026rsquo;s style changed over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, then a period in the 1980s marked by heavy use of synthesizers, before returning to guitar-driven hard rock at the end of the 1980s. Clockwork Angels marked a return to progressive rock. The members of Rush have been acknowledged as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, with each winning numerous awards in magazine readers\u0026rsquo; polls over the years. As of 2022, Rush ranks 84th in the US with sales of 26 million albums and industry sources estimate their total worldwide album sales at over 42 million. They have been awarded 14 platinum and 3 multi-platinum albums in the US and 17 platinum albums in Canada. Rush were nominated for seven Grammy Awards, won several Juno Awards, and won an International Achievement Award at the 2009 SOCAN Awards. The band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Some consider Rush to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rushtheband Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rush/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rushtheband ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/r/rush/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Rush","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # British pop/rock group formed in 1973 by Georg Kajanus, Phil Pickett, Henry Marsh and Grant Serpell.

They first came to a wider public attention after their performance at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. This initial exposure made their first eponymous self-titled album a hit at the time, followed by the next two releases \u0026ldquo;Abraxas\u0026rdquo; (1970) and \u0026ldquo;Santana III\u0026rdquo; (1971) all with Columbia, the first record company that signed the band.\n\u0026ldquo;Caravanserai\u0026rdquo; from 1972 marked the start of a new, more Jazz oriented chapter in Santana\u0026rsquo;s career, as the band now moved away from rock and towards a more experimental and complex sound. \u0026ldquo;Welcome\u0026rdquo; from 1973 and the 1974 \u0026ldquo;Borboletta\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Lotus\u0026rdquo; releases (the latter a triple live album) are most remarkable from that period.\nOver the next decades, lineup changes were common, the music at times evolved more commercially and Pop oriented although never loosing the initial latin influence.\nSantana left Columbia in 1991 and signed with Polydor for their 1992\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Milagro\u0026rdquo; album and the subsequent releases, until Clive Davis signed the group to Arista in 1998, with whom they achieved their greatest commercial and critical success: Santana won a total of eight Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards which were all awarded in 2000 for the 1999 \u0026ldquo;Supernatural\u0026rdquo; album (which also earned them their first No. 1 hit \u0026ldquo;Smooth\u0026rdquo;).\nIn 1994, Santana played at the commemorative concert at Woodstock, 25 years after the band\u0026rsquo;s transformative performance at the original festival. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Gregg Rolie and Michael Shrieve being honored. In 2016 they released Santana IV, a studio album that reunites the early ’70s lineup and signifies the first time in 45 years – since 1971’s multi-platinum classic Santana III – that the quintet has recorded together. Santana again played at Bethel New York for the Woodstock 50th anniversary.\nThe 2010 released collection of classic rock covers \u0026ldquo;Guitar Heaven\u0026rdquo; turned out to be their last album for Arista. \u0026ldquo;Shape Shifter\u0026rdquo;, the band\u0026rsquo;s 2012 album, was released on their Sony-distributed imprint Starfaith. With the 2014 release of \u0026ldquo;Corazón\u0026rdquo;, Santana surpassed the Rolling Stones and is one of only two music acts in Billboard history to score at least one Top Ten album for six consecutive decades from the 1960s on. Santana has signed with Concord since 2018 and released the Narada Michael Walden-produced EP \u0026ldquo;In Search of the Mona Lisa\u0026rdquo; and the full-length album \u0026ldquo;Africa Speaks\u0026rdquo; produced by Rick Rubin in 2019.\nCurrent Lineup # Carlos Santana, Gregg Rolie, Cindy Blackman, Benny Rietveld, Karl Perazzo, Andy Vargas, Greg Errico, Tommy Anthony, Paoli Mejias, David K.

Their lyrics often focus on love and romance as well as the darker side of life, with subjects such as the nightlife, kinky sex, transvestism, drugs and murder. They had a huge world-wide hit in 1981 with a cover version of \u0026ldquo;Tainted Love,\u0026rdquo; a northern soul classic originally sung by Gloria Jones (the wife of Marc Bolan), that they followed up with more charting singles and one of the first remix Albums \u0026ldquo;Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing.\u0026rdquo; Their self-penned non-album single \u0026ldquo;Torch,\u0026rdquo; missed the No.1 spot of the UK charts by a hairbreadth. \u0026ldquo;The Art Of Falling Apart\u0026rsquo;,\u0026rdquo; produced with Mike Thorne and the then new CMI Fairlight at hand with endless efforts by Dave Ball aiming at perfection followed in 1982. It spawned two singles chosen against the will of the record companies; \u0026ldquo;Where The Heart Is,\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Numbers,\u0026rdquo; the first on youthful frustration, the later about frequently changing sexual partners and neither sold too well. The commercial pressure finally collided with their artistic ambitions which led to solo and side projects and two farewell shows in January 1984 even before \u0026ldquo;This Last Night In Sodom,\u0026rdquo; was released. They reunited in the early 2000\u0026rsquo;s and toured with a 4th studio album \u0026ldquo;Cruelty Without Beauty,\u0026rdquo; following in 2002. Once again they reunited for a final well documented \u0026ldquo;Say Hello, Wave Goodbye,\u0026rdquo; live show in 2018 and the recording of a new single.

The group originated in London and was founded in 1962 by Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster while they were still schoolboys. After a number of name and lineup changes, which included the introduction of John Coghlan in 1963 and Rick Parfitt in 1967, the band became The Status Quo in 1967 and Status Quo in 1969. As of 2022, the group have been active for 60 consecutive years (despite announcing a breakup in 1984, they played Live Aid the following year and resumed normal activities in 1986). They have had over 60 chart hits in the UK – more than any other band – including \u0026ldquo;Pictures of Matchstick Men\u0026rdquo; (their first charting song), \u0026ldquo;Caroline\u0026rdquo; (their first top 5 hit), and \u0026ldquo;Down Down\u0026rdquo; (their only No. 1 hit). Twenty-two of these reached the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart, and fifty-seven reached the Top 40. They have released over 100 singles and 33 studio albums, most of which were bestsellers. Since reaching number 5 on the UK albums chart in 1972 with Piledriver, Status Quo have placed 29 consecutive studio albums on the UK charts, including 20 in the top ten studio albums, extending all the way up to their most recent release, Backbone, in 2019. In 2012, they were announced as the tenth best-selling group of all time on the UK Singles Chart with 7.2 million singles sales in their homeland alone. As of 2015, they were one of only 50 artists to have achieved more than 500 total weeks on the UK Albums Chart. In July 1985 the band opened Live Aid at Wembley Stadium with \u0026ldquo;Rockin\u0026rsquo; All Over the World\u0026rdquo;. In 1991, Status Quo received a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2014, preparing to headline that year\u0026rsquo;s Download Festival, Status Quo won the Service to Rock award at the Kerrang! Awards. Status Quo appeared on the BBC\u0026rsquo;s Top of the Pops more than any other band. Their success and longevity as well, in part, as their connections to the British Royal Family, including philanthropic work with the Prince\u0026rsquo;s Trust, have seen them frequently described as a \u0026ldquo;national institution\u0026rdquo; by the media.

Rex (originally Tyrannosaurus Rex) were an English rock band formed in London in 1967 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan, who was their leader, frontman and only consistent member. Though initially associated with the psychedelic folk genre, Bolan began to change the band\u0026rsquo;s style towards electric rock in 1969, and shortened their name to T. Rex the following year. This development culminated in 1970 with their first significant hit single \u0026ldquo;Ride a White Swan\u0026rdquo;, and the group soon became pioneers of the glam rock movement. From 1970 to 1973, T. Rex were extremely popular in the UK, with a run of eleven top ten singles, four of which reached number one: \u0026ldquo;Hot Love\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Get It On\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Telegram Sam\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Metal Guru\u0026rdquo;. The band\u0026rsquo;s 1971 album Electric Warrior received critical acclaim, reached number 1 in the UK and became a landmark album in glam rock. The 1972 follow-up, The Slider, entered the top 20 in the US. Bolstering their style with soul music, funk and gospel, the band released Tanx in 1973 which reached the top 5 in several countries. From 1974, T. Rex\u0026rsquo;s appeal began to wane, though the band continued releasing albums. Their subsequent releases blended rock with R\u0026amp;B and occasionally even disco. In 1977, sole songwriter and constant member Bolan died in a car crash several months after the release of the group\u0026rsquo;s final studio album Dandy in the Underworld, and the group disbanded. T. Rex have continued to influence a variety of subsequent artists. The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/t-rex/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"T.

Their debut album, Talking Heads: 77, was released in 1977 to positive reviews. They collaborated with the British producer Brian Eno on the acclaimed albums More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978), Fear of Music (1979), and Remain in Light (1980), which blended their art school sensibilities with influence from artists such as Parliament-Funkadelic and Fela Kuti. From the early 1980s, they included additional musicians in their recording sessions and shows, including guitarist Adrian Belew, keyboardist Bernie Worrell, singer Nona Hendryx, and bassist Busta Jones. Talking Heads reached their commercial peak in 1983 with the U.S. Top 10 hit \u0026ldquo;Burning Down the House\u0026rdquo; from the album Speaking in Tongues. In 1984, they released the concert film Stop Making Sense, directed by Jonathan Demme. For these performances, they were joined by Worrell, the guitarist Alex Weir, the percussionist Steve Scales and the singers Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt.

As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionized many aspects of the music industry and were often publicized as leaders of the era\u0026rsquo;s youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon\u0026rsquo;s previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation by playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, Germany, over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before inviting Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after they signed with EMI Records and achieved their first hit, \u0026ldquo;Love Me Do\u0026rdquo;, in late 1962. As their popularity grew into the intense fan frenzy dubbed \u0026ldquo;Beatlemania\u0026rdquo;, the band acquired the nickname \u0026ldquo;the Fab Four\u0026rdquo;. Epstein, Martin or other members of the band\u0026rsquo;s entourage were sometimes informally referred to as a \u0026ldquo;fifth Beatle\u0026rdquo;. By early 1964, the Beatles were international stars and had achieved unprecedented levels of critical and commercial success. They became a leading force in Britain\u0026rsquo;s cultural resurgence, ushering in the British Invasion of the United States pop market. They soon made their film debut with A Hard Day\u0026rsquo;s Night (1964). A growing desire to refine their studio efforts, coupled with the challenging nature of their concert tours, led to the band\u0026rsquo;s retirement from live performances in 1966. During this time, they produced albums of greater sophistication, including Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and Sgt. Pepper\u0026rsquo;s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). They enjoyed further commercial success with The Beatles (also known as \u0026ldquo;the White Album\u0026rdquo;, 1968) and Abbey Road (1969). The success of these records heralded the album era, as albums became the dominant form of record use over singles. These records also increased public interest in psychedelic drugs and Eastern spirituality and furthered advancements in electronic music, album art and music videos. In 1968, they founded Apple Corps, a multi-armed multimedia corporation that continues to oversee projects related to the band\u0026rsquo;s legacy. After the group\u0026rsquo;s break-up in 1970, all principal former members enjoyed success as solo artists, and some partial reunions occurred. Lennon was murdered in 1980, and Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001. McCartney and Starr remain musically active. The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, with estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide. They are the most successful act in the history of the US Billboard charts, holding the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK (21.9 million). The band received many accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, four Brit Awards, an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the 1970 documentary film Let It Be) and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, 1988, and each principal member was individually inducted between 1994 and 2015. In 2004 and 2011, the group topped Rolling Stone\u0026rsquo;s lists of the greatest artists in history. Time magazine named them among the 20th century\u0026rsquo;s 100 most important people.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebeatles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeatles/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thebeatles ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-beatles/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"The Beatles","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # The Beatles has supplied Sundown Sessions with “Everybody\u0026rsquo;s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey”, “Glass Onion” and “Good Night”, giving more than one way into The Beatles\u0026rsquo;s work.\nTogether, those choices point beyond isolated favourites towards the character of the wider release.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-beatles/the-beatles/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Beatles","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # The Beatles 1967 - 1970 (Remastered) earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Revolution - Remastered 2009”, a selection that offers a direct route into The Beatles\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Revolution - Remastered 2009” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\nTracks Featured on Sundown Sessions # Revolution - Remastered 2009 ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-beatles/the-beatles-1967-1970-remastered/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Beatles 1967 - 1970 (Remastered)","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # The Bends reached number four on the UK Albums Chart and is widely regarded as the album on which the band found their distinctive voice, combining alternative rock guitar work with Thom Yorke\u0026rsquo;s emotionally intense lyrics.\nIt includes the singles \u0026lsquo;Fake Plastic Trees\u0026rsquo;, \u0026lsquo;Just\u0026rsquo;, and \u0026lsquo;High and Dry\u0026rsquo;.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/r/radiohead/the-bends/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Bends","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # The Best Of earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Magic Fly”, a selection that offers a direct route into Space\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Magic Fly” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/s/space/the-best-of/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Best Of","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # The Best of Echo \u0026amp; The Bunnymen traces the band\u0026rsquo;s evolution from their jagged, atmospheric debut through the lush orchestrations of Ocean Rain, and includes their celebrated cover of \u0026lsquo;People Are Strange\u0026rsquo; from the soundtrack to The Lost Boys (1987).\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/e/echo-the-bunnymen/the-best-of-echo-the-bunnymen/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Best of Echo \u0026 The Bunnymen","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Scottish pop rock band Formed in 1983 in Airdrie, Scotland by Steven Lindsay and a ever-changing line-up of musicians.

Emerging from the new wave scene in the late 1970s, they consisted of Ric Ocasek (rhythm guitar), Benjamin Orr (bass guitar), Elliot Easton (lead guitar), Greg Hawkes (keyboards), and David Robinson (drums). Ocasek and Orr shared lead vocals, and Ocasek was the band\u0026rsquo;s principal songwriter and leader. The Cars were at the forefront of the merger of 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synthesizer-oriented pop that became popular in the early 1980s. Music critic Robert Palmer, writer for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, described the Cars\u0026rsquo; musical style: \u0026ldquo;They have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the \u0026rsquo;50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend.\u0026rdquo; The Cars were named Best New Artist in the 1978 Rolling Stone Readers\u0026rsquo; Poll. The band\u0026rsquo;s debut album, The Cars, sold six million copies and appeared on the Billboard 200 album chart for 139 weeks. The Cars had four Top 10 hits: \u0026ldquo;Shake It Up\u0026rdquo; (1981), \u0026ldquo;You Might Think\u0026rdquo; (1984), \u0026ldquo;Drive\u0026rdquo; (1984), and \u0026ldquo;Tonight She Comes\u0026rdquo; (1985). The band won Video of the Year for \u0026ldquo;You Might Think\u0026rdquo; at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984. The Cars disbanded in 1988. Orr died in 2000 from pancreatic cancer. In 2007, Easton and Hawkes joined Todd Rundgren and others to form the offshoot band The New Cars. The surviving original members of the Cars reunited in 2010 to record the band\u0026rsquo;s seventh and final album, Move Like This, which was released in May 2011. Following a short tour in support of Move Like This, the band once again went on hiatus. In April 2018, the Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and reunited to perform at the induction ceremony. Ocasek died of cardiovascular disease in 2019.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCars ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-cars/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"The Cars","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # The Cars earns its place in the Sundown Sessions catalogue through “Just What I Needed”, a selection that offers a direct route into The Cars\u0026rsquo;s work.\nHeard in the context of the full release, “Just What I Needed” is an invitation to explore beyond the track featured on the show.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-cars/the-cars/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Cars","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Post Punk band formed in 1981 in Middleton, 6 miles north of Manchester. Mark Burgess had been in The Clichés, while Reg Smithies \u0026amp; Dave Fielding were in Years (3). Dave was in a school band called Sen. The three started without a drummer and got the attention of the legendary Radio 1 DJ John Peel. After the recruitment of drummer John Lever of The Politicians (6), their first single \u0026ldquo;In Shreds\u0026rdquo; on CBS, made number 42 on John Peel\u0026rsquo;s Festive Fifty in 1982. They originally signed with CBS, but they disagreed with how they should sound. CBS dropped them after the one single, despite encouraging sales. They soon signed with Statik. However, Statik was distributed by Virgin, so they couldn\u0026rsquo;t qualify for the independent charts and were thus overlooked by the music press. The debut album, \u0026ldquo;Script of the Bridge\u0026rdquo;, was recorded in Rochdale during a six-week period. The band was really pissed when they found out about the reduced version which was released by MCA in the US. They then became unhappy with Statik and tried to get away from them, but were bound by contractual obligations. After their second album, \u0026ldquo;What Does Anything Mean? Basically\u0026rdquo;, they signed with Geffen. While signed to Geffen, the band released what was to be their last album together for fifteen years, \u0026ldquo;Strange Times\u0026rdquo; as the band literally fell apart, acrimoniously, with grief after the 1987 sudden death of band manager Tony Fletcher. The year 2000 saw an end to the \u0026lsquo;hostilities\u0026rsquo; and a reforming of the group; and a new \u0026lsquo;unplugged\u0026rsquo; album entitled \u0026lsquo;Strip\u0026rsquo; and other live releases followed.\nJohn Lever passed away in 2017 and Dave left the band afterwards leaving Mark and Reg as the only two original members.

They were the first punk band from the United Kingdom to release a single, \u0026ldquo;New Rose\u0026rdquo; (1976), release a studio album, Damned Damned Damned (1977) and tour the United States. Nine of the band\u0026rsquo;s singles charted on the UK Singles Chart Top 40. The band briefly dissolved after Music for Pleasure (1977), the follow-up to their debut studio album, was critically dismissed. They quickly reformed without Brian James and released Machine Gun Etiquette (1979). In the 1980s, they released four studio albums: The Black Album (1980), Strawberries (1982), Phantasmagoria (1985) and Anything (1986), which saw the band moving toward a gothic rock style. The latter two albums did not feature Sensible, who had left the band in 1984. In 1988, James and Sensible rejoined to play a series of reunion gigs, one of which was released the next year as the live album Final Damnation (1989). Their fast-driven punk rock has been cited for influencing and shaping the emergence of hardcore punk in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United Kingdom and the United States. The Damned again reformed for a tour in 1991. In 1995, they released a new studio album, Not of This Earth, which was Scabies\u0026rsquo;s last with the band. This was followed by Grave Disorder (2001), So, Who\u0026rsquo;s Paranoid? (2008) and Evil Spirits (2018), their first studio album in the Official Charts top-10 list, landing at No. 7. Their most recent album, Darkadelic, was released in 2023. Despite experiencing numerous lineup changes, the formation of Vanian, Sensible, keyboardist Monty Oxymoron, drummer Pinch and bassist Stu West had been together from 2004 until 2017, when West left the band and former bassist Paul Gray rejoined. In 2019, drummer Pinch left the band, and in February 2022 he was replaced by Will Taylor, who left in November 2023, when Scabies rejoined. As one of the first gothic rock bands, the Damned, featuring lead singer Vanian\u0026rsquo;s baritone singing, dark lyrics and vampire-themed costume, were a major influence on the goth subculture.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Damned/10644147851 Twitter: https://twitter.com/thedamned ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-damned/","section":"Artists","summary":"English punk pioneers whose theatrical darkness, melodic instinct and irreverent energy continually pushed beyond the genre’s first boundaries.","title":"The Damned","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # American alternative rock group founded in 1994 in Portland, Oregon.\nCurrent line-up: Courtney Taylor-Taylor (1994–present): vocals, guitar Peter Holmström (1994–present): guitar Zia McCabe (1994–present): keyboards Brent DeBoer (1998–present): drums\nPast members: Eric Hedford (1994–1998): drums\nCurrent Lineup # Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Brent DeBoer, Zia McCabe, Peter Holmström\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-dandy-warhols/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"The Dandy Warhols","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # The Detroit Cobras were an American garage-rock band from Detroit, formed in 1994 and fronted by Rachel Nagy.

They were among the most influential and controversial rock acts of the 1960s, primarily due to Morrison\u0026rsquo;s lyrics and voice, along with his erratic stage persona and legal issues. The group is widely regarded as an important figure of the era\u0026rsquo;s counterculture. The band took its name from the title of the English writer Aldous Huxley\u0026rsquo;s book The Doors of Perception, itself a reference to a quote by the English poet William Blake. After signing with Elektra Records in 1966, the Doors with Morrison recorded and released six studio albums in five years, some of which are generally considered among the greatest of all time, including their debut The Doors (1967), Strange Days (1967), and L.A. Woman (1971). Dubbed the \u0026ldquo;Kings of Acid Rock\u0026rdquo;, they were one of the most successful bands of their time and by 1972, the Doors had sold over 4 million albums domestically and nearly 8 million singles. Morrison died in uncertain circumstances in 1971. The band continued as a trio, releasing two more albums until disbanding in 1973. In 1978, they reformed for the album An American Prayer, which combined new music with Morrison\u0026rsquo;s recitings of his poetry recorded in 1969 and 1970. They reunited again briefly in 1993 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and for several one-off projects in the 21st century. In 2002, Manzarek, Krieger, and Ian Astbury of the Cult on vocals started performing as \u0026ldquo;The Doors of the 21st Century\u0026rdquo;. Densmore and the Morrison estate successfully sued them over the use of the band\u0026rsquo;s name. After a short time as Riders on the Storm, they settled on the name Manzarek–Krieger and toured until Manzarek\u0026rsquo;s death in 2013. The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive Gold LPs. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), they have sold 34 million albums in the United States and over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. The Doors have been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including Rolling Stone, which ranked them 41st on its list of the \u0026ldquo;100 Greatest Artists of All Time\u0026rdquo;.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedoors Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDoors ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-doors/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"The Doors","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # The Doors reached number two on the US Billboard 200 and includes \u0026lsquo;Light My Fire\u0026rsquo;, which became a number-one hit.\nIt introduces Jim Morrison\u0026rsquo;s literary, Dionysian vision alongside Ray Manzarek\u0026rsquo;s keyboard work and Robby Krieger\u0026rsquo;s blues-inflected guitar playing.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/t/the-doors/the-doors/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"The Doors","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # Members: Sir John Johns (Andy Partridge), Red Curtain (Colin Moulding), Lord Cornelius Plum (David Gregory), and E.I.E.I.

The band’s dark subject matter, literary references (Eldritch’s lyrics nod to anyone from Shelley to Leonard Cohen), cavernous reverb and black record sleeves led the music press to dub them a “goth rock” act, though the band has always rejected this description.\nThe debut album First And Last And Always was not released until 1985, and the lineup that recorded it split soon afterwards. To prevent departing members Craig Adams and Wayne Hussey from renaming themselves The Sisterhood, Eldritch hurriedly released his own album under this name; Adams and Hussey instead formed The Mission. Eldritch then rebooted the Sisters as a duo of himself and bassist Patricia Morrison; the 1987 album Floodland prominently featured synthesizers. In 1990 the Sisters returned to live performance after a five-year absence, promoting a new album, Vision Thing, recorded mainly by Eldritch and guitarist Andreas Bruhn.\nTwo further singles followed, before a long feud with record company EastWest began.

Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 20 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Formed as the Guildford Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s output. They had major mainstream success with their 1982 single \u0026ldquo;Golden Brown\u0026rdquo;. Their other hits include \u0026ldquo;No More Heroes\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Peaches\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Always the Sun\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Skin Deep\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Big Thing Coming\u0026rdquo;. The Stranglers\u0026rsquo; early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel\u0026rsquo;s melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield\u0026rsquo;s keyboards. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Burnel and Hugh Cornwell. Over time, their output gradually grew more refined and sophisticated. Summing up their contribution to popular music, critic Dave Thompson later wrote: \u0026ldquo;From bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music that may have been ugly and might have been crude – but it was never, ever boring.\u0026rdquo; Keyboard player Dave Greenfield died on 3 May 2020 after contracting COVID-19 while receiving treatment for a heart ailment. The remaining band members completed a new album recorded with Greenfield, Dark Matters, and confirmed that they would proceed with their \u0026ldquo;Final Full UK Tour\u0026rdquo;, initially announced in January 2020, in his honour. The band has continued to tour Europe, playing France and Spain in 2023; a 50th Anniversary Tour has been announced for October 2024.

The pair broke away to form Sweetshop, later shortened to just Sweet, with Steve Norman Priest (b. 23 February 1950, Hayes, Middlesex) on bass and Frank Torpey on guitar. After releasing four unsuccessful singles on Fontana and EMI, Torpey was replaced by first Mick Stewart, and then Mick by Andrew David Scott (b. 30 June 1949, Wrexham, Wales) and the new line-up signed to RCA. The band were introduced to the writing partnership of Chinn and Chapman, who were to provide the band with a string of hit singles.However, the band were writing their own hard-rock numbers on the b-sides of these hits. The group\u0026rsquo;s determinedly effete, glam-rock image was reinforced by a succession of Top 10 hits.\nThe Sweet in 1974 recorded the album Sweet Fanny Adams without the assistance of Chinn and Chapman. The album charted at number 27, but disappeared again after just two weeks. As The Sweet became more of an albums band, the hit singles began to dry up. Following a move to Polydor, they cut four albums with each release making less impact than its predecessor.\nSince 1982, various incarnations of the band have appeared from time to time, with up to two of the original members in any one line-up.

It originally comprised singer and guitarist Lou Reed, Welsh multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise. In 1965, MacLise was replaced by Moe Tucker, who played on most of the band\u0026rsquo;s recordings. Though their integration of rock and the avant-garde resulted in little commercial success, they are now widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in rock, underground, experimental, and alternative music. Their provocative subject matter, musical experiments, and nihilistic attitude was also instrumental in the development of punk rock, new wave and several other genres. The group performed under several names before settling on the Velvet Underground in 1965, taken from the title of a 1963 book on atypical sexual behavior. In 1966, the pop artist Andy Warhol became their manager. They served as the house band at Warhol\u0026rsquo;s studio, the Factory, and his traveling multimedia show, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, from 1966 to 1967. Their debut album, The Velvet Underground \u0026amp; Nico, featuring the German singer and model Nico, was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but later drew widespread acclaim. They released three more albums: the abrasive White Light/White Heat (1968), and the more accessible albums The Velvet Underground (1969) and Loaded (1970), with Doug Yule replacing Cale for the latter two. None performed to the expectations of record labels or Reed, the band\u0026rsquo;s leader. However, like the band\u0026rsquo;s debut, all albums later achieved critical acclaim. In the early 1970s, all but Yule left the band. Yule led an abortive UK tour in 1973, and released a final album under the Velvet Underground name, Squeeze (1973), recorded mostly by Yule with session musicians, before the band dissolved shortly after. The former band members collaborated on each other\u0026rsquo;s solo work throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and a retrospective \u0026ldquo;rarities\u0026rdquo; album, VU, was released in 1985. Reed, Cale, Tucker and Morrison reunited for a series of well-received shows in 1993, and released a live album from the tour, Live MCMXCIII, later that same year. After Morrison\u0026rsquo;s death in 1995, the remaining members played a final performance at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1996. Reed died in 2013. In 2004, the Velvet Underground were ranked number 19 on Rolling Stone\u0026rsquo;s list of the \u0026ldquo;100 Greatest Artists of All Time\u0026rdquo;.

The Whites, once married and divorced in March 2000, formed their lo-fi garage band in 1997. They officially ceased to perform in Feb 2011.\nPreviously the guitarist in garage band The Go, Jack White\u0026rsquo;s musical output in this fused twosome was heavily laced with folk blues, country, 60s Britpop and Broadway show tunes. Dressed in minimalist red and white outfits, the Stripes\u0026rsquo; striking stage presence was allied to their undeniable grasp of the rudiments of timeless rock music. Their debut was the 1997 single \u0026ldquo;Let\u0026rsquo;s Shake Hands\u0026rdquo;, followed by \u0026ldquo;Lafayette Blues\u0026rdquo; Italy Records. They then moved to the label Sympathy For The Record Industry and began to receive acclaim for their act and eponymous album, mixing astute cover versions (Robert Johnson\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;Stop Breaking Down Blues\u0026rdquo; and Josh White\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;St. James Infirmary\u0026rdquo;) with some devastating originals.\nBy the time of the following year\u0026rsquo;s The Style, the media buzz surrounding the White Stripes had reached new heights. Of particular note was the duo\u0026rsquo;s reception in the UK, where their music was lauded in national media, including The Daily Telegraph, The Sun and even Radio 4\u0026rsquo;s Today programme - not normally known for its liberal music policy. The influential John Peel was quoted as comparing their importance to that of Jimi Hendrix and the Sex Pistols - although both those acts were originators, whereas the Whites clearly powerful interpreters. They certainly dispelled any question of hype, upon release of a third album, \u0026ldquo;White Blood Cells\u0026rdquo;, followed by \u0026ldquo;Elephant\u0026rdquo; in 2003. The latter recorded at London\u0026rsquo;s tiny Toe Rag Studios, using pre-60s analogue equipment and only eight tracks. Produced by Jack White, the highly-successful album offered a contrast to the digital conformity of music emerging in the new millennium, reaching the top-ten in the US \u0026amp; going platinum in the UK.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-white-stripes/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"The White Stripes","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # The Wolfmen are an English rock music band formed in 2004, and centred on Marco Pirroni (guitars, co-writer) and Chris Constantinou (bass guitar, lead vocals, co-writer).\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/the-wolfmen/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"The Wolfmen","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Formed in 2017 by vintage vinyl specialist DJ Soulmarcosa (aka Mark Weddington), The Wyldewood Green is an LA-based explosion of 60s-70s-inspired garage, soul, psychedelic, funk, mod jazz and heavy rock sounds fueled by organ, freakbeat 45s and raw gritty attitude.

Thin Lizzy initially consisted of bass guitarist, lead vocalist and principal songwriter Phil Lynott, drummer Brian Downey, guitarist Eric Bell and organist Eric Wrixon, although Wrixon left after a few months. Bell left at the end of 1973 and was briefly replaced by Gary Moore, who himself was replaced in mid-1974 by twin lead guitarists: Scott Gorham, who remained with the band until their break-up in 1983, and Brian Robertson, who remained with the band until 1978 when Moore re-joined. Moore left a second time and was replaced by Snowy White in 1980, who was himself replaced by John Sykes in 1982. The line-up was augmented by keyboardist Darren Wharton in 1980. The singles \u0026ldquo;Whiskey in the Jar\u0026rdquo; (1972), \u0026ldquo;The Boys Are Back in Town\u0026rdquo; (1976) and \u0026ldquo;Waiting for an Alibi\u0026rdquo; (1979) were international hits, and several Thin Lizzy albums reached the top ten in the UK. The band\u0026rsquo;s music reflects a wide range of influences, including blues, soul music, psychedelic rock and traditional Irish folk music, but is generally classified as hard rock or sometimes heavy metal. Lynott led the group throughout their fourteen-year recording career of twelve studio albums, writing or co-writing almost all the band\u0026rsquo;s material. He was the first Black Irishman to achieve commercial success in the field of rock music. Thin Lizzy featured several guitarists throughout their history, with Downey and Lynott as the rhythm section, on the drums and bass guitar. As well as being multiracial, the band drew their early members not only from both sides of the Irish border but also from both the Catholic and Protestant communities during The Troubles. After Lynott\u0026rsquo;s death in 1986, various incarnations of the band emerged over the years based initially around guitarists Gorham and Sykes, though Sykes left the band in 2009. Gorham later continued with a new line-up including Downey. In 2012, Gorham and Downey decided against recording new material as Thin Lizzy so a new band, Black Star Riders, was formed to tour and produce new releases. Thin Lizzy have since reunited for occasional concerts. Rolling Stone magazine describes the band as distinctly hard rock, \u0026ldquo;far apart from the braying mid-70s metal pack\u0026rdquo;. AllMusic critic John Dougan has written that \u0026ldquo;As the band\u0026rsquo;s creative force, Lynott was a more insightful and intelligent writer than many of his ilk, preferring slice-of-life working-class dramas of love and hate influenced by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and virtually all of the Irish literary tradition.\u0026rdquo;\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThinLizzyOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinlizzy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thinlizzy_ ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/t/thin-lizzy/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"Thin Lizzy","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Third is widely regarded as one of the most important and adventurous British albums of the era.\nThe double album is a watershed moment in the development of fusion and progressive jazz-rock in Britain, featuring extended, largely instrumental compositions that draw on avant-garde jazz, rock, and classical music.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/releases/s/soft-machine/third/","section":"Releases","summary":"","title":"Third","type":"releases"},{"content":" About # “Third Rail” is the third track on Squeeze\u0026rsquo;s 1993 album Some Fantastic Place.

Between 1980 and 1986, they scored seven Top Ten albums and seventeen Top 40 singles in the UK, the most successful of which was their 1981 hit \u0026ldquo;Vienna\u0026rdquo;. From 1974 until 1979, singer John Foxx was frontman and the main driving force behind Ultravox. Foxx left the band in March 1979 to embark on a solo career. Midge Ure officially took over as lead singer, guitarist and frontman on 1 November 1979 (despite writing and rehearsing with the band from April of that year) after he and keyboardist Billy Currie worked on the studio project Visage. Ure revitalised the band and steered it to commercial chart success lasting until 1987, at which time the group disbanded. A new line-up, led by Currie, was formed in 1992, but achieved limited success with two albums failing to chart and one solitary single reaching 90 in the UK chart. The band\u0026rsquo;s best-known line-up of Currie, Ure, bassist Chris Cross and drummer Warren Cann re-formed in 2008 and performed a series of shows in 2009 and 2010 before releasing a new studio album, Brill!ant, in May 2012 which reached 21 in the British Album Charts.

Wire are considered a definitive and highly influential art punk and post-punk band, due to their richly detailed and atmospheric sound and obscure lyrical themes. They steadily developed from an early noise rock style to a more complex, structured sound involving increased use of guitar effects and synthesizers (1978\u0026rsquo;s Chairs Missing and 1979\u0026rsquo;s 154).

A year later, they released their first single, \u0026ldquo;Großstadtindianer\u0026rdquo; on Alfred Hilsberg\u0026rsquo;s Zickzack label. The band also contributed the track \u0026ldquo;Kälbermarsch\u0026rdquo; to the label compilation \u0026ldquo;Lieber Zuviel Als Zuwenig.\u0026rdquo; Around this time, Bassist Rita Simon was replaced by Wolfgang Ellerbrock. In 1982, the band released the classic \u0026ldquo;Incubus Succubus\u0026rdquo;. That same year, Drummer Caro May was replaced by Manuela Zwingmann.\nWhile German audiences were less than receptive at first, a UK tour opening for Cocteau Twins resulted in a label deal with 4AD Records. Their debut album \u0026ldquo;Fetisch\u0026rdquo; (1983) and the singles \u0026ldquo;Qual\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Incubus Succubus II\u0026rdquo; all made the UK Independent charts, even though the band used German lyrics. Manuela Zwingmann left the band one year later, replaced by Peter Bellendir. This lineup proved to be the longest-running. 1984 saw the release of the album Tocsin, followed by a world tour through to 1985. 1986 saw the release of \u0026ldquo;Matador,\u0026rdquo; produced by Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers. Xmal Deutschland also opened for The Stranglers at a concert at Wembley Arena in London. Their follow-up album, \u0026ldquo;Viva,\u0026rdquo; was recorded in Hamburg and was released in 1987, followed by the single \u0026ldquo;Sickle Moon\u0026rdquo;.\nAfter the release of \u0026ldquo;Viva,\u0026rdquo; Manuela Rickers, Fiona Sangster, and Peter Bellendir left the group. Anja Huwe and Wolfgang Ellerbrock continued to work with Frank Z. Abwärts on Guitar.

Fronted by songwriters Andy Partridge (vocals, guitars) and Colin Moulding (vocals, bass), the band gained popularity during the rise of punk and new wave in the 1970s, later playing in a variety of styles that ranged from angular guitar riffs to elaborately arranged pop. Partly because the group did not fit into contemporary trends, they achieved only sporadic commercial success in the UK and US, but attracted a considerable cult following. They have since been recognised for their influence on post-punk, Britpop and later power pop acts. Partridge and Moulding first met in the early 1970s and subsequently formed a glam outfit with drummer Terry Chambers. The band\u0026rsquo;s name and line-up changed frequently, and it was not until 1975 that the band was known as XTC. In 1977, the group debuted on Virgin Records and were subsequently noted for their energetic live performances and their refusal to play conventional punk rock, instead synthesising influences from ska, 1960s pop, dub music and avant-garde. The single \u0026ldquo;Making Plans for Nigel\u0026rdquo; (1979) marked their commercial breakthrough and heralded the reverberating drum sound associated with 1980s popular music. Between 1979 and 1992, XTC had a total of 10 albums and 6 singles that reached the UK top 40, including \u0026ldquo;Sgt. Rock (Is Going to Help Me)\u0026rdquo; (1980) and \u0026ldquo;Senses Working Overtime\u0026rdquo; (1982). After 1982\u0026rsquo;s English Settlement, the band stopped concert touring and became a studio-based project centred on Partridge, Moulding and guitarist Dave Gregory. A spin-off group, the Dukes of Stratosphear, was invented as a one-off excursion into 1960s-style psychedelia, but as XTC\u0026rsquo;s music evolved, the distinctions between the two bands lessened. XTC continued to produce more progressive records, including the albums Skylarking (1986), Oranges \u0026amp; Lemons (1989) and Nonsuch (1992). In the US, \u0026ldquo;Mayor of Simpleton\u0026rdquo; (1989) was their highest-charting single, while \u0026ldquo;Dear God\u0026rdquo; (1986) was controversial for its anti-religious message.\nDue to poor management, XTC never received a share of profits from record sales (of which there were millions), nor from touring revenue, forcing them into debt throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1993, they went on strike against Virgin, citing an unfair recording contract, and soon extricated themselves from the label. Gregory left the band during the making of Apple Venus Volume 1 (1999), after which the XTC name was used by the duo of Partridge and Moulding. In 2006, Partridge announced that his creative partnership with Moulding had disintegrated, leaving XTC \u0026ldquo;in the past tense\u0026rdquo;. Moulding and Chambers briefly reunited as the duo TC\u0026amp;I in the late 2010s. Partridge and Gregory remain musically active.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/x/xtc/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"XTC","type":"artists"},{"content":" About # Yazoo (known as Yaz in North America) was an English synthpop duo from Basildon, Essex.

For 51 years, it consisted of vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard and bassist-vocalist Dusty Hill, until Hill\u0026rsquo;s death in 2021. ZZ Top developed a signature sound based on Gibbons\u0026rsquo; blues style and Hill and Beard\u0026rsquo;s rhythm section. They are known for their live performances, sly and humorous lyrics, and the matching appearances of Gibbons and Hill, who wore sunglasses, hats and long beards. ZZ Top formed after Gibbons\u0026rsquo; band, Moving Sidewalks, disbanded in 1969. Within a year, they signed with London Records and released ZZ Top\u0026rsquo;s First Album in 1971. Albums Tres Hombres (1973) and Fandango! (1975), and singles \u0026ldquo;La Grange\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Tush\u0026rdquo;, gained extensive radio airplay. By the mid-1970s, ZZ Top had become renowned in North America for their live act, including the Worldwide Texas Tour (1976–77), which was a critical and commercial success. ZZ Top returned in 1979 with a new musical direction and image, with Gibbons and Hill wearing sunglasses and matching chest-length beards. With the album El Loco (1981), they began to experiment with synthesizers and drum machines. They established a more mainstream sound and rose to international stardom with Eliminator (1983) and Afterburner (1985), which integrated influences from new wave, punk, and dance-rock. The popularity of the albums\u0026rsquo; music videos, including for \u0026ldquo;Gimme All Your Lovin\u0026rsquo;\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;Sharp Dressed Man\u0026rdquo;, and \u0026ldquo;Legs\u0026rdquo;, gave them mass exposure on MTV and made them prominent in 1980s pop culture. The Afterburner tour set records for the highest-attended and highest-grossing of 1986. After the release of their tenth album, Recycler (1990), and its accompanying tour, the group\u0026rsquo;s experimentation continued with mixed success on the albums Antenna (1994), Rhythmeen (1996), XXX (1999), and Mescalero (2003). They released La Futura (2012) and Goin\u0026rsquo; 50 (2019), a compilation album commemorating the band\u0026rsquo;s 50th anniversary. By the time of Hill\u0026rsquo;s death in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running band with an unchanged lineup in the history of music. Per Hill\u0026rsquo;s wishes, he was replaced by their longtime guitar tech, Elwood Francis, on bass. ZZ Top has released 15 studio albums and sold an estimated 50 million records. They have won three MTV Video Music Awards, and in 2004, the members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked Gibbons the 32nd-greatest guitarist of all time. The band members have supported campaigns and charities including Childline, St. Jude Children\u0026rsquo;s Research Hospital, and the Delta Blues Museum.\nExternal Links # Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZZTop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zztop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ZZTop ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/artists/z/zz-top/","section":"Artists","summary":"","title":"ZZ Top","type":"artists"}]
