  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

    THE HOOTERS Als THE HOOTERS 1980 erstmals in der Musikszene von Philadelphia auftauchen, erobern sie mit rasanter Geschwindigkeit die Ostküste. Angeführt vom Keyboarder Rob Hyman und dem Gitarre spielenden Sänger Eric Bazilian veröffentlichten sie ihr erstes Indie-Album 1983, welches aus dem Stand 100.000 Schallplatten verkaufte und welches zudem der Träger der Original-Versionen mit künftigen Welthits wie „All You Zombies“ und „Fightin On The Same Side“ war. Schon 1 Jahr später unterschrieben THE HOOTERS ihren ersten Major-Platten-Vertrag bei Columbia Records und veröffentlichten schon kurz danach, 1985, ihr offizielles Debut “Nervous Night” mit solch Klassikern wie “Day by Day“, “And We Danced”, “Where Do The Children Go” und natürlich “All You Zombies”. Glück oder Bestimmung war die Auswahl für die Teilnahme von THE HOOTERS am LIVE AID- Konzert im Juli 1985 in Philadelphia und bescherte der Band schnell und weltweit Gold und Platin-Status für “Nervous Night”. Darauf folgte auch gleich die Heiligsprechung durch das damals wichtigste Musikmagazin, dem „Rolling Stone“, als “Best New Band Of The Year” in 1985. Angestachelt durch ihren grandiosen Erfolg legten THE HOOTERS entsprechend nach und bescherten sowohl den Fans wie auch ihrer Plattenfirma noch mehr Hits. “Johnny B”, “Karla With A K” und “Satellite” waren allesamt auf dem Longplayer “One Way Home” (Columbia 1987), gefolgt vom Gold und Platin-Album “Zig Zag” (Columbia 1989), welches mit dem Song “500 Miles” die Aufmerksamkeit von keinem geringeren als Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters erregte. Roger Waters war es dann auch, der THE HOOTERS einlud, beim legendären Event, dem des 20. Jahrhunderts und ausklingenden Jahrtausends, dabei zu sein.
