Master of the Rings стал поворотным моментом в творчестве Helloween. Предыдущий альбом группы, Chameleon, записанный в стиле прог-рока, был встречен поклонниками традиционного метала довольно холодно. Это стало причиной раскола между вокалистом Михаэлем Киске и остальными участниками группы. В то же время ударник коллектива, Инго Швихтенберг, оказался не в состоянии выступать с Helloween из-за тяжёлой наркотической и алкогольной зависимости. Место певца и барабанщика заняли Энди Дерис и Ули Куш соответственно.
Новый состав коллектива приступил к работе над концептуальным Master of the Rings в 1994 году. В основу записи было положено классическое пауэр-метал звучание Helloween времён дилогии Keeper of the Seven Keys, получившее существенное развитие благодаря новым участникам. «Альбом-возвращение» достиг 6-го места в хит-параде Японии и 23-го - в чарте родной Helloween Германии.

Not to be confused with the well-intentioned but still incomplete career retrospective of the late '90s, this international release focused exclusively on the three albums (two studio and one live) issued during the period stated in its title. At the time, Genesis' three-man lineup was finally coming into their own as a viable commercial entity, having survived the seemingly insurmountable challenge of losing guitarist Steve Hackett and especially singer Peter Gabriel.

It’s one of life’s ironies that an artist as independent and ahead of her time as Betty Davis (Mabry) is today remembered mostly for her brief marriage to Miles Davis, and for having transformed the trumpeter in record time from Italian suited jazzer to psychedelically garbed imbiber of Bitches Brew. (Davis credited Betty with introducing him both to hip threads and the sounds of Hendrix, Sly Stone, and others.) Chump change indeed for a singer, songwriter, model/fashionista, and provocateur who was a Greenwich Village scene maker while still in her teens. She wrote “Uptown (To Harlem)” for the Chambers Brothers, and later went on to release three unheralded records of low-down ‘70s funk whose open sexual attitudes prefigured later, more commercially successful efforts by Rick James, Prince, and Madonna.

Stranded is the third album by the art rock band Roxy Music, released in late 1973. It reached number one on the UK album charts. The cover shows Bryan Ferry's then girlfriend and 1973 Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole. It was the first Roxy Music album on which Ferry was not the sole songwriter as multi-instrumentalist Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil Manzanera also contributed to the album. Though it was also the first without Brian Eno, who had left the group after For Your Pleasure, he nonetheless later rated it as Roxy Music's finest record.

Siren - пятый студийный альбом рок-группы Roxy Music, изданный лейблом Island в Великобритании, в США - Atco. В 2003 году он вошел в список 500 величайших альбомов всех времен по версии журнала Rolling Stone на 371 место.

Roxy Music - дебютный альбом британской арт/глэм-рок-группы Roxy Music, выпущенный в июне 1972 года компанией Island. Альбом в целом получил благоприятные отзывы критики и поднялся до 10-го места в UK Albums Chart.

Flesh + Blood is the seventh studio album by the English art rock band Roxy Music. Released in late May 1980, it was an immediate commercial success peaking at No. 1 in the UK for one week in June and then returned to the summit in August for another three weeks, in total spending 60 weeks on the albums chart in the United Kingdom. The album also peaked at No. 35 in the United States and No. 10 in Australia.

Country Life is the fourth album by British rock band Roxy Music, released in 1974 and reaching No. 3 in the UK charts. It also made No. 37 in the United States, their first record to crack the Top 40 there. The album is considered by many critics to be among the band's most sophisticated and consistent. Jim Miller in his review for Rolling Stone wrote "Stranded and Country Life together mark the zenith of contemporary British art rock." Band leader Bryan Ferry took the album's title from the British rural lifestyle magazine Country Life.
