  • 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 B-52'S Unforgettable Dance-Rock Tunes Start a Party Every Time the Music Begins
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 10, 2008 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS THE B-52’s LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27 The first band to glorify pop culture with an almost Warholian sense of purpose, the B-52’s purveyed their absurd B- movie style and off-kilter sound celebrating the weirdness lurking just beneath the surface of Americana — not exactly a recipe for chart success but way ahead of its time nonetheless. Any mystery concerning the longevity and ongoing appeal of the B-52’s is immediately solved when exposed to the band’s unique concert experience. From the timeless gems of "Rock Lobster," "Planet Claire" and "Private Idaho" to the more recent classics of "Channel Z," "Love Shack" and "Roam" the B-52's unforgettable dance-rock tunes start a party every time the music begins. With the unexpected commercial and critical success of their debut album, The B-52’s in 1979, the band inadvertently formed the core of the burgeoning early '80's New Wave “movement.” They continued the pop music revolution that began with the punk revolution. Their second album, Wild Planet was released in 1980 and scored hits with "Private Idaho," "Give Me Back My Man" and "Strobe Light." In just two albums, the B-52's created a lexicon of songs, styles, phrases and images which would set the standard for the development of the “alternative music scene” for the next decade. Fast forward to today where the band has recorded their first album in sixteen years. Funplex was released by Astralwerks just this past March debuting at #11 on the US Billboard charts.
