Flowers

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones

Release Date August 27, 2002
I never was a big Stones fan. I never was a big fan of "Ruby Tuesday", "Mother's Little Helper", and "Have You Seen Your Mother". But I must honestly say this album blows me away. I always thought I really liked "Let's Spend The Night Together", but after hearing everything that this album has to offer I barely listen to that song at all.

I bought this album, because I wanted "Out Of Time". I got so much more than that. "Ride On Baby", "Take It Or Leave It", "Back Street Girl", and "Lady Jane" along with "Out Of Time" are some of the best songs I've ever heard by any artist anywhere anytime.

The fact that these songs were written and performed by the same group that brought us "Satisfaction" and "Time Is On ... Read More:

The Wall

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date July 07, 1987
After basically ignoring THE WALL for years once I decided that I had no patience with Roger Waters' whining all the way to the bank, I've come to the conclusion that the listener does not have to buy in to Waters' monomaniacal view of his lot in life to be bowled over by the songs and how they're presented. "Comfortably Numb," "Mother," "Goodbye Blue Sky" and "Hey You" still sound great after all these years, and kudos to David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Richard Wright--as well as Waters himself-- for giving them musical heft. Sonically, the album is magnificent. So, a great package, but as far as concept albums about how lousy it is to be a rock star go, I'll take WISH YOU WERE HERE over this any day. Or, for that matter, Syd Barrett's THE ... Read More:

Face Dances

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Who

Release Date June 03, 1997
With a return to the 1960s pop sound, the band delivered a classic - You Better You Bet - while working within a framework to allow drummer Kenney Jones to shine.

Daily Records, Don't Let Go the Coat and Another Tricky Day have very appealing hooks, with Cache Cache paced by a bouncy beat. The all-out rocker is John Entwistle's The Quiet One, with How Can You Do It Alone delivering an edginess through Roger Daltrey's lyrical interpretation.

Peaking at #4 on the U.S. album chart, this March 1981 release is bolstered by five bonus tracks. The album demonstrates the art in crafting quality pop music and is an oftentimes overlooked gem in the band's amazing catalog.

Queen II

by: Queen

Release Date October 22, 1991
There are more good songs on this album than most bands write in their entire careers. I am quite partial to early Queen, and this is some of their better early work. If you like hard rock, this is as good as it gets.

The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 (Brick) This product seemed to have a flaw. A 4 CD set was OK except for the last 3 tracks on CD # 4 which were non-playable due to a defect. The product was returned to Amazon for a full refund.

It's Hard

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: The Who

Release Date June 03, 1997
Unfairly slighted by many, the album is the best album from The Who since Who By Numbers or Quadrophenia. It is consistent and it does rock. While Daltrey may not be a fan, it is still a great effort and the closest that The Who would get at recapturing their old glory.

Queen

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Queen

Release Date June 17, 1991
Certainly not as polished as we would later come to expect from Queen albums, this is a fairly solid debut. Obviously, Freddie had a strong voice from the start, and that unmistakable tone of Brian May's guitar is certainly in evidence. The main draw here is, of course, "Keep Yourself Alive." There are other good early songs here as well, such as "Doing Alright," "Liar," and "Great King Rat." Their material and execution would certainly get stronger and continue to evolve, but this is certainly not a bad first album by any means. It's just a little rougher around the edges than later releases.

Sheer Heart Attack

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Queen

Release Date March 05, 1991
Looking back at the 1970s, sometimes many forget how big the band Queen was. Even as Queen moved into the 1980s, while their popularity did slightly decline in the United States, it continued to be very high in Europe. Their performance at Live Aid is widely considered one of the greatest of all-time and their subsequent "Magic" tour is considered one of the all-time greatest concert tours. If it weren't for Freddie Mercury's death in 1992, we might still be talking about Queen being as big a band as the Beatles. When Queen released their 1973 self-titled debut album, it showed all of the signs of greatness to come. This album would show how the band embraced a "theatrical" feel to their music (which was something seen by other bands such as the Kinks) as well as embrace a sound that would evolve ... Read More:

Desperado

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Eagles

Release Date October 25, 1990
Basicaly a concept album about bank robbers,desperados and the wildness of youth, this album still stands tall today. starting with the melodic Doolin Daltons, this song basically say's, your not going to live long breaking the law. i like every song on this album, especialy the one's you don't hear on the radio all the time. Like the hard rocker Out of Control. the beautiful Saturday night, and one of Bernie Leadon's best songs ever, Bitter Creek. each song on this album tells a story, and these are stories you can hear again and again. don't forget the songs you do hear on the radio, Desperado - Tequila sunrise, a great album for new fans and old fans alike! Highly recomended!

Coda

CD-Charts > Music > Supergroups
by: Led Zeppelin

Release Date August 16, 1994
Led Zeppelin's odds and ends album Coda was released in November of 1982.
How this album came to be, let's set the stage shall we.
In 1980, Led Zeppelin were riding high on the success of In Through the Out Door which was on its way to selling 7 million copies in the US alone (not bad for Zep standards and outsold Led Zeppelin 3 and Presence). The band toured Europe and were selling out venues nightly but then tragedy struck, drummer John Bonham passed away on September 25, 1980 as the band was rehearsing for a US tour. Over two months later, the band broke up after the death of Bonham whose style was hard to replicate and deemed him irreplaceable.
Throughout 1981 and 1982, guitarist Jimmy Page worked on the soundtrack to Death Wish II and Robert Plant released his solo debut Pictures ... Read More:
