Editorial Product Review: :The short-lived classic-rock supergroup Blind Faith's sole album has aged remarkably well. In 1969, Blind Faith fused the psychedelic blues of Eric Clapton and the soulful vocals and keyboards of Steve Winwood with the polyrhythmic, Afrocentric leanings of drummer Ginger Baker. 'Can't Find My Way Home' is one of the hippie era's most lyrically poignant, sonically subtle tunes. The record has a lot of surprises; 'Presence of the Lord' is rousing and melancholy at the same time, while the way the bass and guitar ...
Editorial Product Review: :\N :To have resisted Def Leppard's radio power in their heyday, you'd have to have been a critic--and even some of us could hardly argue with the likes of 'Photograph,' 'Animal,' and 'Bringin' on the Heartbreak.' Vault covers a decade and a half of hits by the one-time wonder boys of the new wave of British metal, but perhaps inevitably concentrates on singles from the multiplatinum Pyromania and Hysteria. It offers little meaning beyond fun fun fun, but there are hooks here that ...
Editorial Product Review: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: LED ZEPPELINTitle: LED ZEPPELINStreet Release Date: 06/21/1994DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP :As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's 'I ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:Extreme is a US Rock band that achieved popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some of Extreme's influences, Queen and Van Halen (the latter of which Gary Cherone would eventually join and later leave), are readily apparent from their music's multi-part vocal harmonies and electric guitar tone and instrumental techniques. The band lends the listener a sound that blends the genre of glam metal with the shredding guitar work of thrash metal. Being asked about their style, Extreme categorized their music ...
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:After a triple-platinum debut and platinum follow-up, Disturbed fuses the brutality and darkness of 2000's The Sickness with the added melodic nature and complexity of 2002's Believe for album number three. Aggressive, relentless and intense-yet at the same time transcendent-Ten Thousand Fists is a rock sledgehammer. :On their third album, Disturbed don't as much break out of expected patterns as show their potential for doing so. Fans eager for more of the band's patented fist-thumping gruel will take satisfaction in the album's opening ...

Legendary and long sought-after, this live Led Zeppelin collection is nothing less than the rock music equivalent of the Holy Grail. Quite simply, this is what all the fuss was about. Given that they were the biggest band in the world, Zeppelin were notoriously camera-shy in their heyday. Their official filmic legacy until ...
Editorial Product Review: :Few rock bands can claim a successful three-decade spanning career; a feat even more impressive for a female-fronted band! Often hailed as the 'female Led Zeppelin' Heart dominated the classic rock realm with their debut album 1975's Multi-platinum Dreamboat Annie. Songs like 'Crazy on You' and 'Magic Man' from the debut as well as Little Queen's 'Barracuda' remain rock staples today. HEART: Live captures sisters Ann & Nancy Wilson in a powerful Soundstage concert recorded in high definition and 5.1 Surround Sound. Smash ...

Editorial Product Review:Album Description:180 Gram/Audiophile pressing Printed sleeve :Greatest-hits collections often deprive the listener of the chance to experience an artist's true scope of talent. Not so with Steve Miller--his strength has always been more in crafting an occasional blast of FM-radio heaven rather than a dozen solid album tracks. Greatest Hits 1974-78 chronicles the best singles from Miller's most successful years, after he veered from Haight-Ashbury bluesy trippiness to more accessible blues-based pop-rock. There are the slippery grooves of 'The Joker' and 'Fly Like an ...
