The band's evolution throughout the 1990s and early 2000s involved several tumultuous periods of commercial highs and lows, brought about in part by Weiland's well-publicized struggles with drug addiction. The band's five studio albums have sold over 17 million copies in the United States alone. The band has had fifteen top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts, including six number ones, and one number one album on the pop charts (1994's Purple). In 1993, the band won a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" for their song "Plush". Stone Temple Pilots were also ranked at number 40 on VH1's The 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. In 2003, the band released the greatest hits compilation Thank You. Around this time, band members began going their separate ways. After the band's break-up in 2003 , original lead singer Scott Weiland became the frontman of Velvet Revolver with former members of Guns N' Roses. The DeLeo brothers formed the band Army of Anyone with Richard Patrick of the band Filter. Kretz founded Bomb Shelter Studios in Los Angeles. The band reunited in 2008 after Weiland split from Velvet Revolver, kicking off the tour at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. The band released their self titled sixth album in 2010.______________________________________________________________________________________ Paul Simon ‎– GracelandLabel:Warner Bros.

It not only won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 1986 and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, but the song "Graceland" also got a Grammy for Record of the Year in 1987. If Simon elsewhere in his work gets a bit self-absorbed and angsty, here his collaborators keep him out of the pit, so that even a song called "Homeless" somehow comes across as inspired and uplifting. Lyrically and musically, Graceland really hits the sweet spot.______________________________________________________________________________________________ Iggy Pop ‎– Brick By BrickGenre:RockStyle:Punk, Pop RockYear:1990 TracklistHomeMain Street EyesI Won't Crap OutCandyButt TownThe UndefeatedMoonlight LadySomething WildNeon ForestStarry NightPussy PowerMy Baby Wants To Rock & RollBrick By BrickLivin' On The Edge Of The Night On Brick by Brick, Iggy's dominant theme is the cultural and moral decay of modern America, and finding the strength to rise above it and reach a place in the world.________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Band ‎– Northern Lights-Southern CrossGenre:Rock, Folk, World, & CountryStyle:Blues Rock, Country Rock, Folk RockYear:1975 TracklistForbidden FruitHobo JungleOpheliaAcadian DriftwoodRing Your BellIt Makes No DifferenceJupiter HollowRags And Bones Cahoots and the oldies LP, Moondog Matinee, weren’t exactly auspicious developments in a recording career with beginnings as brilliant as the Band’s. Their playing behind Bob Dylan on Planet Waves and Before the Flood as well as on the earlier Basement Tapes has been more accomplished and stirring than any of their own music since The Band, and it is against these efforts as sidemen that their first album of new songs in four years must inevitably be judged. The first few seconds of Northern Lights — Southern Cross promise a departure. Robbie Robertson’s usually clean, cutting guitar quavers through a wah-wah and phase-shifter, and Garth Hudson is using multiple synthesizers to create an orchestra-like overlay. The entrance of Levon Helm’s voice, its Arkansas inflection intact, provides a familiar reference, but only momentarily. The vocals on earlier Band albums tended to blur into murkily homogenous instrumental backdrops, but here Levon and the answering voices of Richard Manuel and Rick Danko are mixed forward, ringing through loud and clear. The listener realizes during the first few bars of music the extent to which the antique sepia-tinged flavor of the first Band albums was a result of their determinedly primitive mixes. Before long it’s equally evident that the Band’s new sound is the result of a revolution in instrumental and recording technology and not of a revolution in ideas. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Los Lobos ‎– The RideLabel:Hollywood Records ‎– 2061624432, Mammoth Records ‎– 2061624432Format:CD, Country:CanadaReleased:2004Genre:RockStyle:Blues Rock, Rock & Roll, Latin Tracks 1La Venganza De Los PeladosElectric Guitar – Joselo RangelFeaturing – Café Tacuba*Jarana, Keyboards – Emmanuel de Real*Keyboards – Garth HudsonRequinto Guitar, Instruments [Quinta Guapanguera] – Alejandro FloresVocals – Elfego Buendia*Written-By – D.

Pérez* Not counting compilations and live recordings, The Ride is the 11th album by East Los Angelinos Los Lobos. And in contrast to the rest of their hefty catalog, it stands as a wonderful anomaly on their shelf. First, it is an offering with loads of guests, from influences such as Richard Thompson, Garth Hudson, the Grateful Dead's famed lyricist Robert Hunter, R&B legend Bobby Womack, Latin garage-funk hero Little Willie G., gospel great Mavis Staples, and Tom Waits to contemporaries like Elvis Costello, Dave Alvin, Greg Leisz, Mitchell Froom, Martha Gonzales, Latin music statesman Rubén Blades, and rock en Español inventors Café Tacuba, and many more. These 13 tracks walk the razored edge between the band's wondrous amalgam of rock, blues, country, soul, and Latin folk and pop styles found on How Will the Wolf Survive? and The Neighborhood to the song fragmentation and studio experimentation that made records like Kiko and Colossal Head standouts. To this end, Los Lobos redo some of their nuggets There's a wonderfully gospelized read of "Matter of Time," with Costello, that adds a completely new meaning to the tune. Little Willie G.'s vocal on "Is This All There Is" digs deep into the tune for its gritty funk root and stretches it to the breaking point -- it's one of the strongest performances on the disc. But the medley of "Wicked Rain" from Kiko with Womack's "Across 110th Street," with the band in full stretch-out mode and Womack at the peak of his soul crooning powers, is the biggest surprise. Over eight minutes in length, the combination of the tunes is smooth and sweet, driven with acoustic guitars, a punched-up horn section, and Rev. Charles Williams' shimmering Rhodes and B-3 in the mix. But the new material, such as "Veganza de los Pelados," with Mexico City's Café Tacuba, is the meld of the two bands' quirky strengths. Los Lobos bring the mystic Latin groove and bluesy angularity of the guitar lines, while the Tacubas bring the big knotty beats and edgy power chords, stunning dynamics, and a sense of play. Likewise, "Ya Se Va," with Blades, is a perfect cocktail of Afro-Cuban son and mariachi. "Wreck of the Carlos Rey," with Thompson, pairs David Hidalgo with the British guitarist in a snaky moaning weave of Anglo folk and driving, minor-key bluesy rock. The meeting of the band and Staples on "Someday," with Williams on clarinet and Lonnie Jordan on B-3, is so fine and fluid that an entire album should be considered. Ultimately, with the possible exception of "Kitate," with Waits and Gonzales, which feels overindulgent and directionless, this record comes off like a dream, full of strength, vision, warmth, rhythms, textures, and a coming together of all of Los Lobos' various adventures in a solid coat of many colors. This is the culmination of 30 years, and as such, it is an album that pays tribute as well as points to the next, and walks the narrow path between playful adventurousness and tuneful accessibility with ragged elegance and swaggering confidence._______________________________________________________________________________________________________ They Might Be Giants ‎– John HenryLabel:Elektra ‎– 61654-2Format:CD,Country:USReleased:13 Sep 1994Genre:RockStyle:Alternative Rock, Pop Rock Track 1–They Might Be GiantsSubliminal2–They Might Be GiantsSnail Shell3–They Might Be GiantsSleeping In The FlowersArranged By [Horns] – Frank London4–They Might Be GiantsUnrelated Thing5–They Might Be GiantsAKA Driver6–They Might Be GiantsI Should Be Allowed To ThinkLyrics By [Excerpt From First Line Of "Howl, Part One"] – Allen Ginsberg97–They Might Be GiantsExtra Savoir-Faire8–They Might Be GiantsWhy Must I Be Sad?9–They Might Be GiantsSpy10–Hudson ShadO, Do Not Forsake MeBaritone Vocals – Hugo MundayBass Vocals [Bass Baritone] – Peter Becker (2)Lead Vocals [Bass], Arranged By [Vocals] – Wilbur PauleyPerformer – Hudson ShadTenor Vocals [Tenor 1] – Mark BleekeTenor Vocals [Tenor 2] – William Douglas Vannice2:3011–They Might Be GiantsNo One Knows My Plan12–They Might Be GiantsDirt Bike3:0513–They Might Be GiantsDestination Moon14–They Might Be GiantsA Self Called Nowhere15–They Might Be GiantsMeet James Ensor16–They Might Be GiantsThermostat17–They Might Be GiantsWindow18–They Might Be GiantsOut Of Jail20–They Might Be GiantsThe End Of The Tour John Henry is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock group They Might Be Giants. It was released in 1994. It is the first album by They Might Be Giants to include a full band arrangement, rather than synthesized and programmed backing tracks. The album's name, a reference to the man versus machine fable of John Henry, is an allusion to the band's fundamental switch to more conventional instrumentation, especially the newly established use of a human drummer instead of a drum machine. John Henry is TMBG's longest record and was the band's highest-charting adult album, having peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200, until 2011's Join Us, which peaked at #32. In 2013, the album was reissued across a double LP by Asbestos Records.__________________________________________________________________________________________ The Rolling Stones ‎– Love You LiveGenre:RockStyle:Rock & Roll, Pop Rock, Classic RockYear:1977Notes:Recorded live in Paris and Toronto 1976-1977.
