Hot Chocolate formed in Brixton, London, England. Members of the group around Errol Brown included Tony Connor, Larry Ferguson, Harvey Hinsley, Derek Lewis, Pat Olive and Tony Wilson.
In 1969 while demoing a slight reggae version of the John Lennon song "Give Peace A Chance" with a group of friends, Errol Brown changed the lyrics of the number but he was informed that he could not change Lennon's song without his permission! So a copy of the demo was sent to the Beatles record label, 'Apple', with fingers crossed. Amazingly John Lennon loved the version and it was released on the 'Apple' label. Errol and his friends were given the name, 'The Hot Chocolate Band', a name thought up by a secretary at the company but which the band later changed to 'Hot Chocolate'.

Desire Walks On is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band Heart. Released in 1993, it yielded four singles: "Will You Be There (In the Morning)", which reached No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Black on Black II", which hit No. 4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, "Back to Avalon" and "The Woman in Me", which failed to make the Hot 100 but "bubbled under" at No. 105. The album peaked at number No. 48 in the U.S. and marked a return to being predominantly written by lead members Ann and Nancy Wilson.

Popstars is the debut album by British pop group Hear'Say, formed through the ITV television show Popstars. It was released in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2001. Hear'Say worked with a number of British and Scandinavian producers, including Stargate, and Quiz & Larossi. The album drew comparisons to similarly co-ed pop groups such as S Club 7 and Steps.
The album received generally negative reviews from contemporary music critics, who commented on the artificiality and genericness of both Hear'Say and their music. However, Popstars was a commercial success, charting at number one in the United Kingdom. It was the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history at the time of release, selling over 300,000 copies in its first week. Popstars yielded two number one singles, "Pure and Simple" and "The Way to Your Love".

Houston Swing Engine est un groupe suisse formé en 2001. Il regroupe notamment le chanteur de feu Unfold, le guitariste et le batteur de feu Shovel, et le chanteur de Kruger passé à la basse. Un changement de bassiste a eu lieu peu avant la tournée de The Tiger Flamboyant, Renaud étant très occupé par Kruger et son label RRRecords(Ronald Reagan Records).
Le batteur Frank a aussi officié dans A Season Drive, groupe actuellement mort, dans lequel il était guitariste.
Le style est à la croisée du Rock hardcore / punk pour le chant et du stoner pour la musique, le tout étant terriblement groovy.
Leur dernier album Entre hommes est sorti en avril 2007 et semble enfin célébrer l'amour unisexe qu'ils n'ont cessé de revendiquer lors de leurs concerts.

3 Car Garage: The Indie Recordings '95–'96, also known simply as 3 Car Garage, is a compilation album by American pop rock group Hanson. It consists of material from their MMMBop demo album minus four tracks. There is much confusion that 3 Car Garage contains tracks from both the MMMBop and Boomerang demo albums, when actually, only songs from MMMBop are present. The tracks that never made it from MMMBop to 3 Car Garage are the shorter version of "MMMBop", "Something New", "Incredible", and "Baby (You're So Fine)".

Этот альбом в моей системе оценок не дотягивает до шедевра самую малость, но некий контраст между последними композициями и предшествующей частью альбома, а также чрезмерная (хоть и задушевная) простота части материала не позволяют твердой рукой поставить десять.
