После ухода из Motörhead, "Быстрый" Эдди основал собственную группу Fastway, которая выпустила 7 альбомов и была коммерчески успешной, пока в её составе вокалистом был Дэйв Кинг. Но после смены вокалиста на Ли Харта, группа перестала быть интересна слушателям и альбом 1990 года "Bad Bad Girls" стал предпоследним в дискографии группы, после чего в карьере Fastway наступил длительный перерыв. В 2011 году, спустя 21 год молчания выпускают альбом "Eat Dog Eat", встреченный довольно прохладно.

Free — британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 1968 году в Лондоне, Англия и всемирную известность получившая в 1970 благодаря хиту «All Right Now» (#2 UK). Free выпустили шесть студийных альбомов, которые (согласно Allmusic) способствовали подъёму и развитию хард-рока. Пол Роджерс после распада Free в 1973 вместе с Саймоном Кирком образовал Bad Company. Пол Коссофф вошёл в состав Back Street Crawler; он умер от тромбоэмболии легочной артерии 19 марта 1976 года.

Некоторым иногда очень не хватает настоящей рок-н-ролльной мощи, теплого, аналогового звука и безбашенной атмосферы рока 70х годов и настоящего metal 80х. Кое-кто так и продолжает тихо ностальгировать дома,прокручивая записи любимых "перплов", "цеппов", "сабсов", "мейденов" и "пристов", а кто-то, не поддаваясь апатии, хватает гитару и старается исправить положение, на личном примере показывая, как нужно действовать, если хочешь, чтобы любимая музыка продолжала жить! Это про лидера Fireball Ministry.

Молодец Gus G. многостаночник греческий, везде успевает, и не просто успевает, а прям блещет во всей своей гитарной красе. Вот и новый Firewind позволил блеснуть ему ещё одной гранью своего безусловного таланта, и потому про гитару тут говорить просто нечего, она великолепна!!! Да и всё остальное заслуживает только хороших слов. Музыка стала звучать ещё плотнее и динамичнее, это видать новый драмер расстарался, а мелодики добавилось троекратно, ну тут уж общая, видать, заслуга. Оно и правильно, стало некому и нечего доказывать, осталось только творчество в творчестве и для творчества. Хотя нет, учитывая качество материала и его коммерческую ценность можно с уверенностью сказать, Firewind-у быть!!! Ура три раза…

Что хочется сказать о дебютной работе британской AOR-группы FM? Только то, что в очередной раз отсутствие широкой известности, побед в чартах и огромных тиражей отнюдь не говорит о низком качестве проделанной работы. Дебютник FM сейчас кажется настоящей жемчужиной из середины 80-х, и нам остается теперь только недоумевать, какими росчерками пера судьбы им так и не удалось достичь мировой известности и популярности.

Frida ensam (English: Frida Alone) is the second studio album by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It was produced by her fiancé, Benny Andersson, both members of the pop group ABBA, and was first released by Polar Music in 1975. It has since been re-released several times, most significantly in remastered form in 2005 with bonus tracks. The lead song was Frida's solo version of "Fernando" (written and produced by Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus). All lyrics are in Swedish. The album was a huge success in Sweden, and Lyngstad was awarded with a platinum disc.

Barcelona is the second solo album recorded by Freddie Mercury, frontman of popular British rock band Queen, and operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé. Released in 1988. It is the second and final solo album recorded by Mercury.
After Barcelona was selected to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, Mercury was approached to write a song as a theme for the forthcoming games. The idea was to create a duet with Caballé, as she is from the city. He had been a long-standing admirer of her and she in turn grew to respect his talents very highly. They decided to work on an album together, with Mercury and Mike Moran taking the creative lead as songwriters. Mercury and Moran made and sent her tapes of the music with Mercury singing in falsetto as a guide vocal for Montserrat's parts. As they rarely had an opening in their schedule to meet, her parts were recorded at another location.

Franz Ferdinand is the debut studio album by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand, first released on 9 February 2004 through the Domino Recording Company.

Records is a compilation album by American rock band Foreigner, released on November 29, 1982 to span the band's first four albums through 1981.

The Colour and the Shape is the second studio album by the American rock band Foo Fighters. Produced by Gil Norton, it was released through Capitol Records and the group's own Roswell Records on May 20, 1997. The record is the debut of the Foo Fighters as a group, as the band's previous record, Foo Fighters (1995), was primarily recorded by frontman Dave Grohl and friend Barrett Jones as a demo. After the project ballooned and became an international success, the group convened for pre-production in the fall of 1996 and brought in producer Norton to establish a pop sensibility for the tracks. The band strived to create a full-fledged rock record, although the music press predicted another grunge offshoot.

Behind the Mask is the 15th studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in 1990. It was the first album released by the band after the departure of guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. He was replaced by Billy Burnette and Rick Vito, both guitar players, singers and songwriters. Fleetwood Mac thus became a six-piece band with four singer/songwriters. The album was not as successful as its predecessor, Tango in the Night, nor did it spawn any big hit singles although "Save Me" made the US Top 40, while "Love Is Dangerous" and "Skies the Limit" enjoyed some airplay. "Save Me" and "Skies the Limit" were much more successful in Canada, where they both reached the Top 30. Though it barely reached the US Top 20, the album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 1 and achieved platinum status there. Following the album's release and subsequent world tour, bandmembers Stevie Nicks and Rick Vito left the band, though Nicks would rejoin in 1997.

FireHouse is the debut album by the American glam metal band FireHouse. Released in 1990, it launched the group into stardom.

Comfort in Sound is the fourth studio album by the Welsh rock band Feeder, released on 21 October 2002 and also the first to be released by the band after the suicide of drummer Jon Lee earlier in the year. The album was recorded at RAK Studios in London during most of 2002, and was produced by Gil Norton.
The band returned to live performance after Lee's suicide, playing low-key slots at various festivals in the United Kingdom, before releasing the single "Come Back Around" and then the album. Three further singles—"Just the Way I'm Feeling", "Forget About Tomorrow" and "Find the Colour"—followed the album's release. The album received positive reviews from the music press and was received well by the public, reaching number six on the UK Albums Chart. Although charting one place lower than predecessor Echo Park, Comfort in Sound had a much stronger chart run of 36 weeks on the weekly top 75 album chart, in comparison to the nine weeks of Echo Park.
