Летом 1973-го песня «Rubber Bullets» стала первым чарттоппером команды, а еще два сингла, сопровождавших дебютный альбом, угодили в горячую десятку. Вторая полнометражка, «Sheet Music», с хитами в стиле Брайана Уилсона «The Wall Street Shuffle» и «Silly Love» закрепила позиции группы на родине и открыла ей путь в чарты «Billboard».

Zenyatta Mondatta (stylised as Zenyattà Mondatta on the album cover artwork) is the third studio album by the English rock band the Police, released on 3 October 1980 by A&M Records. It was co-produced by the band and Nigel Gray.
Zenyatta Mondatta reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and number five on the US Billboard 200. It produced the hit singles "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". The album won the band two Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Behind My Camel".

Synchronicity reached number one on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200, and sold over eight million copies in the US. The album was widely acclaimed by critics. Praise centered on its cohesive merging of disparate genres and sonic experimentation. Rolling Stone described "each cut on Synchronicity [as] not simply a song but a miniature, discrete soundtrack".

Reggatta de Blanc is the second studio album by British rock band the Police, released on 5 October 1979 by A&M Records. It was the band's first release to top the UK Albums Chart and features their first two UK number-one singles: "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon". In early 1980, the album was reissued in the United States on two 10-inch discs, one album side per disc, and as a collector's edition with a poster of the band.

Outlandos d'Amour is the debut studio album by British rock band the Police, released on 17 November 1978[4] by A&M Records. Elevated by the success of its lead single, "Roxanne", Outlandos d'Amour peaked at No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart and at No. 23 on the Billboard 200. The album spawned two additional hit singles: "Can't Stand Losing You" and "So Lonely".

Greatest Hits is the second greatest hits album by the Police, released in September 1992 by A&M Records. It is the band's second compilation album following Every Breath You Take: The Singles. In contrast with its predecessor, it features all 14 original UK top 20 chart singles and five UK number-ones released by the band from 1978 to 1984, including the two missing singles from the previous 1986 compilation, "Synchronicity II" and the original version of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" which had been replaced with the 1986 re-recording. The album also includes two bonus album tracks, "The Bed's Too Big Without You" and "Tea in the Sahara". The cover photograph was by Duane Michals and it was taken at the time of the Synchronicity album. The inner sleeve featured a collage of pictures of the band shot by different photographers during their career, including Miles Copeland, Peter Baylis, Adrian Boot, Akihiro Takayama, Anton Corbijn, Danny Quatrochi, Gabor Scott, Janette Beckman, Kim Turner, Michael Ross, Watal Asanuma and Andy Summers.

Ghost in the Machine is the fourth studio album by the English rock band the Police. The album was released on 2 October 1981 by A&M Records. The songs were recorded between January and September 1981 during sessions that took place at AIR Studios in Montserrat and Le Studio in Quebec, assisted by record producer Hugh Padgham.

Synchronicity is the fifth and final studio album by the English rock band the Police, released on 17 June 1983 by A&M Records. The band's most successful release, the album includes the hit singles "Every Breath You Take", "King of Pain", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", and "Synchronicity II". The album's title and much of the material for the songs were inspired by Arthur Koestler's book The Roots of Coincidence (1972). At the 1984 Grammy Awards the album was nominated for a total of five awards, including Album of the Year, and won three. At the time of its release and following the Synchronicity Tour, the Police's popularity was at such a high that they were arguably, according to BBC and The Guardian, the "biggest band in the world".

Love at First Sting is the ninth studio album by German rock band Scorpions. It was released in February 1984 by Harvest and EMI Records in Europe and Mercury Records in the US. The album contains "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "Still Loving You", and "Big City Nights", three of the band's most famous songs.

Караул устал... после двух совершенно поп-роковых альбомов "Dynasty" и "Unmasked" солдаты армии KISS - то бишь фанаты - начали в массовом порядке дезертировать. Исправить ситуацию был призван новый альбом, который музыканты обещали выполнить в хард-роковом ключе, как в середине 70-х. Ну что ж, альбом они записали. Да только он подействовал на фанатов подобно ведру ледяной воды, и дезертирство приняло уже повальный характер. Почему, казалось бы? Ведь альбом спродюсировал сам Боб Эзрин, и никакой попсовостью на нём уже не пахнет. А дело в том, что "Music from "THE ELDER" - это концептуальный альбом на фэнтезийную тематику!

Recorded live in April 11, 1992 in The Passionskirche, Berlin

Этот альбом, четвертый по счету, можно назвать переходным между первым и вторым этапом творчества «Алого Короля». Для первого этапа было характерно разделение многих композиций на несколько частей, каждой из которых давалось отдельное название. На втором этапе этого разделения уже не существует, хотя некоторые вещи по-прежнему остаются многочастными, однако есть еще одно отличие – более частое появление довольно жестких мотивов, из-за чего местами музыка группы звучит достаточно агрессивно. По-прежнему большое внимание уделяется инструменталам, а лирику неизменно пишет непредсказуемый Питер Синфилд. Однако состав продолжает оставаться нестабильным, и поэтому альбомы не дотягивают до звания шедевра

Если на предыдущих альбомах Сатриани нет-нет, да включал одну, две блюзовых вещей, то этот альбом он решил целиком посвятить данному стилю музыки. Больше всего удивило (и восхитило одновременно), что Сатриани сумел внести свой собственный, ни с кем не схожий почерк игры. Слушая вещи с альбома с первого раза, можно сказать: «Оооо..., это играет Джо».
Замечу, что Сатриани не посвятил альбом одному конкретному направлению блюза, а постарался включить все наиболее популярные направления в стиле, продемонстрировав весь спектр своего таланта.
