For years, if you wanted a comprehensive Chicago hits collection, your choices were slim. 1975's single-disc/eleven-track collection, Greatest Hits (Chicago IX) remained your best bet, but it only included tracks from the group's beginning to the mid-'70s (without question their best years). On the other hand, if it was Chicago's power ballad direction of the '80s you were after, your only choice was 1989's Greatest Hits: 1982-1989.

Chicago XIV is the twelfth studio album by the American band Chicago, released in 1980. Recorded at a time of waning interest in the band, Chicago XIV remains one of Chicago's poorest selling albums and was a commercial flop. It is also notable for being their last studio album with Columbia Records.

Chicago X is the eighth studio album, and tenth album overall, by the American band Chicago and was released on June 14, 1976. The album is notable for its soulfulness, and it ended up being a turning point in the band's career thanks to one song.

Чарльз Ха́рдин Хо́лли (англ. Charles Hardin Holley), известный как Ба́дди Хо́лли (англ. Buddy Holly; - американский певец и автор песен, один из первопроходцев рок-н-ролла. Несмотря на то, что его успех продолжался всего полтора года (будучи лишь 22-летним он погиб в авиакатастрофе), критик Брюс Эдер описал его личность как «самую влиятельную созидательную силу в раннем рок-н-ролле».

Несмотря на то, что Dire Straits возникли в тот момент, когда наибольшей популярностью в Англии пользовались панк-рок и «новая волна», музыка группы, в которой явственно прослеживались американские блюзовые традиции, имела настолько высокую «пробу», что, по существу, определила мэйнстрим рока восьмидесятых годов. Dire Straits собрал бывший преподаватель Лондонского университета Марк Нопфлер.

Mit Rumours hatte die Band 1977 ein Album vorgelegt, das zu den erfolgreichsten der Band- und Rockgeschichte gehörte. Sie gewannen Grammy Awards für dieses Album und gingen 1978 erneut ins Studio, um neue Songs aufzunehmen. Der finanzielle Erfolg von Rumours sorgte dafür, dass die Band ein Budget für die Aufnahmen von 1 Mio. $ erhielt. Die Geldgeber von Warner erwarteten ein ähnlich kompaktes Mainstreamalbum, wie Rumours es war. Das monumentale Doppelalbum wurde dann jedoch von musikalischen Experimenten von Lindsey Buckingham geprägt und kam weit weniger gut an als das Vorgängeralbum. Tusk erreichte schließlich nicht die erwartete Topplatzierung in den US-Charts und kam nur bis auf den 4. Platz. Dennoch wurden in den nächsten Jahren über zwei Millionen Alben von Tusk verkauft. Tusk erklomm ebenso wie Rumours in Großbritannien den ersten Platz der Albumcharts, und in Deutschland war das Album mit Platz 3 als höchste Platzierung sogar erfolgreicher als Rumours, das nur den 6. Platz erreichen konnte.

Tusk is the twelfth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released as a double album on 12 October 1979. It is considered more experimental than their previous albums: partly a consequence of Lindsey Buckingham's sparser songwriting arrangements and the influence of post-punk. The production costs were estimated to be over $1 million (equivalent to $3.57 million in 2020), making it the most expensive rock album recorded to that date.
The band embarked on a nine-month tour to promote Tusk. They travelled extensively across the world, including the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. In Germany, they shared the bill with Bob Marley. On this world tour, the band recorded music for the Fleetwood Mac Live album released in 1980.

Time is the 16th studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 10 October 1995. This album features a unique line-up for the band featuring the addition of former Traffic guitarist Dave Mason and country vocalist Bekka Bramlett (daughter of Delaney and Bonnie). Lindsey Buckingham, who had left Fleetwood Mac in 1987, makes an appearance as a backing vocalist on one track, but Time is the only Fleetwood Mac album since 1974's Heroes Are Hard to Find not to feature any contribution from Stevie Nicks.
The album received unfavorable reviews from critics and was a commercial disappointment, failing to chart in the US and peaking at number 47 in the UK.

Then Play On ist das dritte Studioalbum der Rockband Fleetwood Mac und erschien im Herbst 1969 bei Reprise Records.
