The album reached the top of the US Billboard 200. Since then, the album has been certified five times platinum by the RIAA, and became the 46th best selling album of the 1970s. The album spent 25 weeks in the UK Albums Chart, entering at No. 10 and reaching its highest position of No. 3 in the second week. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No. 40 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke revealed on In the Studio (which devoted an episode to Straight Shooter) that the track "Shooting Star" (which told the story of a rock star who died early) was lyrically inspired by the drug and alcohol-related deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison.

Bad Company is the debut studio album by the English hard rock supergroup Bad Company. The album was recorded at Headley Grange with Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio in November 1973, and it was the first album released on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records label.

There have been plenty of single-disc Doobie Brothers collections released over the years. There have been two-part vinyl Best of the Doobies, there have been budget-line collections, and there have been OK overviews as well as excellent generous discs with all the big hits. There's even been a comprehensive four-disc box, but what there hasn't been is a double-disc set -- something that falls between the conciseness of 2001's terrific Greatest Hits (the first CD to contain all the big hits on one CD) and 1999's four-disc Long Train Runnin' 1970-2000. That's what 2007's The Very Best of the Doobie Brothers is, a double-disc helping of the Doobies' biggest songs from "Listen to the Music" to "The Doctor." Actually, this Very Best stretches a little further than "The Doctor," which arrives five songs from the end, illustrating the point that for the average listener, this may be just a little too generous at 33 tracks.

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a pair of albums (plus six bonus tracks) from the Dutch winners of the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest: Festival and Get On Board (both released in 1975). 32 tracks including the huge hit (and prize winning) 'Ding-A-Dong'. Red Bullet. 2009.

I've been writing songs for as long as i can remember. At the moment I write for the band I've been with for 31 years - Uriah Heep - since 1970 we've played the world and released so many albums so many times i can't count.
I write songs all the time and I do believe a good song will last forever even though there are millions out there in the ether. I'm often asked where the ideas come from, but after having heard so much music there is only one answer - life! It's all there in the way we live. There is music in everything we do, every way we live, good or bad.
The first song, Mind Over Matter, is an ultra possitive rock epic. It says pull out the energy you have inside that's probably lying dormant. Second uptempo song is about the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and from a true account. Third song Is a dream song about the possibility of us all standing up and saying - stop the hatei!!! The fourth song is about a man explaining to his son that though the world is in turmoil;l it's only life. I've let a little country feel enter on this track and also Carolin. Donna & Joe is about a sparing couple of Smugglers from the eighteenth century. The Bells is about a man who turned rain into Gold! And the Forest is the ending opus about a guy whose partner died and who visits him in the Forest. In the end he goes to her. I wanted something a little more personal in these songs and the musicians and singers who worked on this project helped me achieve that end. My love of strings and choir has been well placed in these arrangements and a lot of time and patience went into the production to make it just right. I hope you find something in these songs that rings true.

Swedish band JONO started as a solo project of singer Johan Norrby (hence the moniker ”JoNo”), who has been singing, writing, and playing music in various bands and projects over the years. This applies also for all the other members of the band. Guitarist Stefan Helleblad is a member of Dutch symphonic sensations Within Temptation. Drummer Nicka Hellenberg also played all the drums on Within Temptation's "The Unforgiving" and has an impressive resume involving bands and recordings. Both keyboard player Johan Carlgren and bass player Janne Henriksson are frequently hired for both live and studio sessions. Leo Olsson – also a busy musician – joined the band in 2015.

In the beginning was the dark, a little Thin Lizzy, a touch of Muse, a smidgen of Marillion and a soupçon of Queen. Yes, there are other influences from the history of Prog, but this is the real McCoy (not the clothes shop next door to Manson’s Guitars in Exeter), the real Drifting Sun. Or as keyboardist Pat Sanders put it to me, “this is where we want to be as a band”.
