When Dire Straits formed in 1977 they produced music which was different from the punk and stadium rock which surrounded them, creating a stripped back, cleanly produced, guitar based sound. At first their debut Dire Straits (1978) looked set to bomb, but it was championed by the label and eventually went platinum across Europe, helped in part by the memorable single “Sultans of Swing”.

Adams' 1998 studio album return put him back on solid ground on the charts in the US and became a best seller in Europe as well, spurred on the by the release of a Chicane remix of the single "Cloud #9" and the duet with Sporty Spice (Melanie C) "When You're Gone", a song that sounded very much like vintage Squeeze in style. This edition adds "Lie To Me", a song not on the US equivalent.

Perhaps you weren't convinced of the Verve's staying power until recently. Before the release of Urban Hymns, skeptics wondered if they could ever match the explosive power of their earlier dedications. In 1995, most critics dismissed their offerings of the time as vapid, romantic excursions. To their credit, the Verve have sustained their shadow rock legitimacy while introducing string arrangements, piano fills, and slide guitar. Nowhere are these stirring traits more obvious than in the epic single "Bitter Sweet Symphony." Laying it on thick throughout the rest of the album with painfully engaging ballads, the Verve have crafted their most accomplished album to date, proving the longevity of their cultural resonance. --Lucas Hilbert
verve 乐队 1990 年组建于英国威根。从唱片中，你怎么也不会猜到 verve 是来自一个田园般的、纯朴的南方小镇。当然，如果没有不同于一般的背景，他们永远也不会投入这种强烈的音域中。面对目前颇为时髦的"虚无逃避主义"英国摇滚乐风气，他们时而松弛、时而压抑的风格超出了传统的歌曲结构，代之以空间摇滚之上的迷幻主义，外加爵士风格和氛围音乐脉络。
乐队的成员来自威根的温斯坦利大学，成员包括主唱 richard ashcroft、吉他手 nick mccabe、贝司手 simon jones 和鼓手 peter salisbury。他们早期的单曲，如《all in the mind》和《gravity grave》，初步确立了乐队猛烈的音乐招牌。 1989 年，他们与 virgin 公司所属的 hut 公司签约，在随后的几年中，乐队出版了一系列颇受好评的单曲，诸如《she's a superstar》和《blue》等，都进入了独立音乐的排行榜。
1993 年，他们出版了第 1 张专辑《a storm in the heaven》，真正显示了他们的实力。这张专辑是在与世隔绝的康沃尔郡录音室完成的，具有与 van morrison 的《astral weeks》或 talk talk 的《spirit of eden》相同的水准。当然，这完全是他们自己的风格。其中一些片断，如同在温暖的夏日里潮汐萦绕在你耳边；但另一些，如《silde away》和《the sun，the sea》，厚重的吉他音如同潮水一般。 verve 在英国也成了热门乐队，被传媒称为“下一件大事”。
1994 年，verve 出了一张集单曲和单曲 B 面歌曲的集锦《no come down》，并且开始了美国之行，虽然有来自美国爵士乐公司 verve 的商标纠纷，但他们还是开发了美国的新市场。他们也曾与 oasis 乐队一起在英国巡演，最后他们与 oasis 的制作人 owen morris 搭上了关系，morris 答应他们担任第 2 张专辑《a northern soul》的制作人。
1995 年《a northern soul》出版，英国传媒的好评铺天盖地，然而它还是被美国市场忽略了。尽管如此，该专辑在英国排行榜上的表现还不错，进入了前 20 名。《on your own》、《history》和《this is music》都是上乘之作。这次所有的曲目结构性更强，内容都取材于自己的亲身经历，特别是 mccabe 的吉他尤为特色。
不幸的是，虽然凭着乐队这样的高水平会使他们前途无量，但他们却在第 2 张专辑出版不久便宣布解散，主要原因是 ashcroft 和 mccabe 在创作和个人关系上出现了裂痕。 ashcroft 举行了几场个人原声音乐会，并于 1995 年底出现在 oasis 的演唱会上。 1996 年初，在没有 mccabe 的情况下，ashcroft、jones 和 salisbury 以另外一个名字重新，ashcroft 也计划出版自己的专辑。
1997 年春，verve 重组，并出版了新的专辑《urban hymns》。----摘自华业音乐网

Black Head“黑撒”组合的首张专辑《起的比鸡还早》！
“Black Head”是来自西安的一支乐队组合，Black Head的中文意思为“黑撒”（SA读2声，黑撒是秦腔的一种分支戏曲）。“黑撒”的成员包括2人-------夜晚的骑士 和 马蜂，所有歌曲的词曲创作、编曲、乐器演奏、录音缩混等全部由2人包办！
Black Head 签约于西安时音唱片，他们的首张唱片《起的比鸡还早》于2007年10月出版发行。这是极具特色的一张专辑，风格主要以陕西方言的Hip-Hop为主，还融合了蓝调、戏曲、爵士、摇滚、电子乐等多种音乐元素。这张专辑歌词幽默个性，独具风采又引人深思，以叙事为主，抒情为辅，加上悦耳时尚的配乐，演绎"Black Head"化的说唱乐。就好比“黑撒”的歌词中所唱到的，他们要“把老祖宗秦始皇的口音发扬光大”！听完他们的作品，你会发现，原来陕西话是这么动听和迷人^_^
如其海报广告语，毫无夸张是“陕西方言与现代音乐的完美集大成之作，一张让你捧腹大笑、百听不厌并忍不住马上推荐给朋友的唱片！”

Black Head曾于03年11月在网络上发布首个单曲《练死小曰本》引起广泛轰动，这首歌因为幽默的歌词和演唱，精致的配器演奏，以及富有时代感的敏锐观点，在全国受到欢迎，并被到处传唱，甚至被收录进多种不同的盗版唱片内。其多个版本的FLASH作品也在各大网站的排行榜上高居不下。

Rank 'em how you like, Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. The 14-song U.K. edition--the version now available on compact disc--is a different, more dynamic, and ultimately more accomplished achievement. So many classics: "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" (both omitted from the U.S. edition) merge the early combustible Beatifics to a burgeoning studio consciousness; "The Word" can be read as a pre-psych warning shot; the sitar-laden "Norwegian Wood" and the evocative "Girl" (the latter written on the last night of the sessions) stand as turning points in John Lennon's oeuvre. George finally emerges too, with the McGuinn-ish "If I Needed Someone." EMI. 2005.

Audio CD (April 11, 2000)
Original Release Date: 1971
One of the best all-time rock albums by any measure, Imagine is nearing its 30th birthday-and here's a marvelous tribute. You can get the original LP on CD or cassette with remixed, remastered sound and a 16-page booklet with lyrics and rare pix. Or go behind the scenes of a masterpiece-the documentary Gimme Some Truth-The Making of Imagine , featuring an unfinished film by John and Yoko, is available on VHS or DVD (DVD has surround sound, an eight-page booklet and discography). A treasured moment in rock history.

Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd "rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut. While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of 16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive recording entrée into the realm of the typical. The catchy choruses of Go are substantial, though, thanks to Lavigne's riff-driven melodies and powerful vocals, which at times adopt the unorthodox intonation quirks of fellow Canadian Alanis Morrissette. The nuanced, dynamic "Losing Grip," "My World" (which perfectly captures the ennui of suburbia), and the buoyant power-pop blast "Sk8er Boi" are the collection's highlights. But Lavigne's honest yet awkward words weigh down the likes of "Mobile," "I'm with You," and "Naked." "Nobody's Fool," which displays her Pink-like take-me-as-I-am credo, hints that someday Lavigne's lyrics will match the strength of her music. --Annie Zaleski

When Bernard Butler left the band all those many years ago, few would have guessed that with him left the dangerous, romantic noir vibe that fueled Suede's first two albums. After all, Brett Anderson was supposed to be the Byronic prince of darkness, and without Butler around, it only made sense that he would indulge his taste for the theatrical. It didn't turn out that way, of course. The band hired young Richard Oakes and refashioned themselves as a glammy, fizzy guitar pop band whose elegantly wasted ballads were tales of love found, not love lost. Suede's fifth album, A New Morning, confirms that this band isn't about to release another Dog Man Star anytime soon, or even turn out a "Whipsnade," since they're now all about "Positivity," as the opening track and lead single crisply announces. Once that disappointment fades -- Suede did tragic romantic better than anybody, and it's hard not to wish they still did it -- it's easy to appreciate A New Morning as another solid, succinct collection of tuneful, stylish modern-day glam pop, nearly the equal of Coming Up, whose blueprint this follows to a tee. Song for song, it's better and more consistent than Head Music -- whose dabbling in vague electronic now seems mildly dated and whose songwriting seems slight -- thanks partially to Stephen Street's focused, flattering production, but also due to a sharp set of songs, highlighted not just by "Positivity," "Lost in TV," "When the Rain Falls" (where the piano sounds lifted from a Vince Guaraldi Peanuts special), and "Lonely Girls," but a triptych of songs that inexplicably borrow their titles from classic rock songs ("Beautiful Loser," "Street Life," "One Hit to the Body"). Plus, there's no denying that Suede does this music better than anybody else (and they sound both loose and muscular here), and that Anderson's voice is aging marvelously, sounding quite fetching with a slight hint of booze and tobacco wear. So, A New Morning isn't a new beginning, nor does it take many risks, but it does find Suede in top form with good songs and an appealing record. You might wish that it was a little more than that, but you'll be satisfied by what it is.
