Machine Head is the sixth studio album released by the English rock band Deep Purple. It was recorded during December 1971 in Montreux, Switzerland, and released in March 1972.
Machine Head is often cited as a major influence in the early development of the heavy metal music genre. Commercially, it is Deep Purple's most successful album, topping the charts in several countries following its release. The album reached number 1 in the United Kingdom and stayed in the top 40 for 20 weeks. It reached number 7 in the United States, remaining on the Billboard 200 for 118 weeks.

The History Mix Volume 1 is the sixth album by British pop band Godley & Creme. The album was a remix of songs spanning the career of Godley & Creme and their earlier bands, 10cc, Doctor Father and Hotlegs.

L is the second album by Godley & Creme. It was released in 1978. Its 34-minute running time was a stark contrast with that of the ill-received triple concept album Consequences (1977). Despite this, the album was not received well commercially.
The songs contained much variation and artistry, dissonances, complex time signatures and melodies, poetic lyrics, and some echoes from Frank Zappa's Over-Nite Sensation (1973). The album was played almost completely by Godley and Creme, except for saxophones, and a brief vocal cameo by Paul Gambaccini.
The lyrics retained the satirical stance of some 10cc material with songs such as "This Sporting Life" and "Art School Canteen", which deal with suicide and art school angst.

City of Fear is the fourth album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Canada, released in 1980 on Passport Records and distributed in Canada by Capitol Records, catalogue number PB-2028, and in the USA on Passport distributed by Jem Records, catalogue number PB-6004. It was produced by Larry Fast who was notable for his Synergy series of electronic music albums. A remastered edition was released by Esoteric Records (ECLEC2383) on March 25, 2013.

Direct to Disc is the second album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, recorded late 1977 and released May 1978. It was also issued under the title Head Room.

Surveillance is the third album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, released on Passport Records in summer 1979, the first to be "widely issued." It has been re-released for the first time in CD format on Esoteric Records in March 2013.

Black Noise is the debut studio album by Canadian progressive rock group FM. Released in a limited edition by CBC in 1977, it didn't receive widespread release until the following year. In 1978 GRT/Passport Records did a full release of the album and it shot up the Canadian record charts fueled by the hit single "Phasors on Stun". The B-side was the instrumental song "Slaughter in Robot Village". A second single was released, "Journey", with the B-side, "Hours". It didn't sell as well, and barely charted.
In 2015, Rolling Stone released its list of 50 of the Greatest Progressive Rock Albums of All Time, and Black Noise made the list at number forty eight (#48).

Second Helping is the second studio album by Lynyrd Skynyrd, released April 15, 1974.

This L.P. was the last to feature Bob Burns on drums.
The album reached #12 on the Billboard album charts. It was certified Gold on September 20, 1974, Platinum and 2x Platinum on July 21, 1987 by the RIAA.

Mit ihrem dritten Album „Night Of Passion“ waren die vier Jungs von MAD MAX anno 1987 bereit, die USA zu überfallen und dort gehörig Rabatz zu machen. Es war alles perfekt: ein tolles Album im Gepäck, die Zeitpunkt gut gewählt, sogar die Tournee war schon in trockenen Tüchern. Und nach einem Album wie „Stormchild“, das zwar einen Hit wie „Lonley Is The Hunter“ enthielt, aber insgesamt etwas schwächelte, hatte man sich enorm gesteigert und ein Meisterwerk abgeliefert. Warum es trotzdem nicht klappte, kann wohl keiner so richtig nachvollziehen. In den Geschichtsbüchern des Rock´n Roll steht auf jeden Fall, dass sich die Band nach diesem Disaster frustriert aufgelöst hat und erst 2006 zum Album „Night Of White Rock“ wieder in Originalbesetzung mit Michael Voss (g.,v.), Jürgen Breforth (g.), Roland Bergmann (b.) und Axel Kruse (d.) zusammenkam. Aber nach dem 2007er Opus „White Sands“ war schon wieder Schluß damit, denn Drummer Axel Kruse konzentrierte sich auf JADED HEART und stieg erneut aus. 25 Jahre nach „Night Of Passion“ hat sich das Ur-Line Up wieder zusammengefunden, um dort anzuknüpfen, wo sie damals aufgehört hatten. Und obwohl der Titel bewusst so gewählt wurde, um einen Zusammenhang zu damals herzustellen, haben die Alben musikalisch nicht allzuviel gemein. Allerdings gibt es doch ein paar Gemeinsamkeiten, denn das neue Album tönt verdammt kernig aus den Boxen und strotzt nur so vor Spielfreude. Gute Songs haben die Jungs schon immer abgeliefert, aber in jüngerer Vergangenheit haben MAD MAX öfter mal das „Mad“ im Bandnamen vergessen und eher zahmen Hardrock gespielt.

Hasten Down the Wind is the Grammy Award-winning seventh studio album by singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt. Released in 1976, it became her third straight million-selling album. Ronstadt was the first female artist to accomplish this feat. The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys. It represented a slight departure from 1974's Heart Like a Wheel and 1975's Prisoner in Disguise in that she chose to showcase new songwriters over the traditional country rock sound she had been producing up to that point. A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim.

Planet P Project is a pseudonym used by American rock musician Tony Carey for his science-fiction themed, progressive rock/space rock music. Carey has released six albums under the Planet P Project name: Planet P (1983, later retitled Planet P Project), Pink World (1984), Go Out Dancing, Part I (1931) (2005), Go Out Dancing, Part II (Levittown) (2008), Go Out Dancing, Part III (Out in the Rain) (2009) and Steeltown (2013). Music videos for singles from the first albums received heavy to moderate airplay on MTV, when originally released. Pink World was originally a two-record set, released on bright-pink-colored vinyl.
Planet P's most well known singles were "Why Me?" (a sweeping, energetic romp about outer space and isolation), and the downbeat "Static". Go Out Dancing, Part I (1931) is the first of the trilogy, with part two titled Go Out Dancing, Part II (Levittown) and part three as Go Out Dancing, Part III (Out in the Rain).
The project's name was inspired from the fictional "Planet P" in Robert A. Heinlein's book Starship Troopers.
