Borrowing the cool brass chic of Henry Mancini and the marimba-heavy technological artistry of Thomas Newman, Revell sounds loose and confident, replacing his usual excess for fun.

At the end of 1970, Kim Simmonds found himself deserted by the other members of Savoy Brown, the band he had founded and nurtured through five albums. Starting from scratch, he recruited a crackerjack new band, featuring ex-Idle Race vocalist Dave Walker and super keyboardist Paul Raymond to reinvent the band. Four twelve-hour marathon sessions produced Street Corner Talking, the last of SB's major classics.

This is the CD that made Bon Jovi, those boys from Jersey, a household name. An instant classic. IF you grew up in the 80's you must have this in your CD collection. Im now a father and with all the crap out on MTV and the radios I'm trying hard to introduce my kids to some real classic ROCK N' ROll.

This collection represents the essential items of the Jimi Hendrix catalog. Each selection illustrates Hendrix's uniqueness as both guitarist and composer. In the '60s, he virtually defined rock guitar, remaking history in his own image. His mix of blues, psychedelia and Dylanesque folk-rock made him a rock & roll icon.

The perfect culmination of the first phase of Browne's career (1972-1976). Produced by Jon Landau, The Pretender is the artist's final statement of the role of everyman in contemporary society. In this instance, Browne's always outstanding lyrics are set to melodies and production values which provide a perfect accompaniment.

This was the last Cars album where non-single tracks got just as much airplay as some singles might have (in fact some may very well have charted as a result). It's also the last cohesive Cars album (Heartbeat City was wildly uneven) as all of the tracks are strong and are relatively well-sequenced.

This CD contains the most well known of all of Steely Dan's songs ("Do it Again" and "Reelin' in the Years") and was the "group's" first album. It was released in 1972 and was, at the time, a truly different sound and point of view than the music of the recently ended 1960s.

Rush is a fantastic release, though by no means their most solid work. Most of Geddy Lee's lyrics on this album are a bit generic, and look almost comical when one views the lyrics that future drummer Neil Peart wrote on most of their songs once he joined the band before the Fly By Night album was released in early 1975.

Back in the High Life is the fourth solo album by blue-eyed soul musician Steve Winwood. It was a top ten hit on the album charts in the United States and has sold over five million copies.

Sometimes called the greatest live album ever, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is a brilliant album recorded at Madison Square Garden during the Stones' 1969 live peak. While calling it the greatest live album ever is exaggerating its worth slightly, it's the best live album Mick and the boys ever released.

This soundtrack to the movie adaptation of Truman Capote's novel Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of Henry Mancini's best.

The blues is alive and kicking in Bernard Allison's debut, as he returns to the U.S. after several years of touring successfully in Europe. This young man, son of the late bluesman Luther Allison, shows an impressive and extensive knowledge of the vocabulary of the blues as a mature artform.

This is the "breakthrough" album of BHTM, and what a breakthrough it is. Starting with Broken Hearted Savior, the power and heartbreak is expressed in the words and music that hit me hard. The texture of the songs and the moods strike me unlike any cd I've heard up to that point.

This is a great album. But it's not the typical 80's hair metal. This is very well played and the guys could write amazing hooks. This thing rocks from start to finish.

The music recorded on this album tells the story of Ratt while spanning the years "when heavy metal ruled the world.
