Abbey Road
Nowadays, singles reign supreme, so it may be hard to imagine an era where albums were truly the primary medium for entertainment. Yet that was exactly the case when The Beatles released Abbey Road: one of their greatest and most successful efforts featuring timeless classics such as Come Together and Here Comes the Sun; pushing rock music forward through experimentation in texture and juxtaposing minimalism and maximalism.
Abbey Road sessions took place under more pleasant circumstances than Let It Be recordings earlier in the year, though bandmembers still had disagreements between sessions and releases. By its release date, John Lennon had left privately while Paul McCartney publicly quit shortly thereafter; its cover photo depicting them all crossing a zebra crossing outside EMI Studios has since become one of music history’s iconic images.
Abbey Road was the first album to feature a stereo mix directly taken from eight-track session tapes, as well as vocal overdubs sourced directly from these tapes. It is widely considered one of the finest recordings in musical history. The Super Deluxe edition includes both new stereo album mix as well as side two medley as bonus track; both formats can be purchased on CD and Blu-ray formats.
At 3 Abbey Road in St John’s Wood, London stands a breathtaking studio named after its location – 3 Abbey Road being named for the street it stands on and featuring The Beatles crossing its signature zebra crossing for their album cover photo. Since opening its doors in 1940s, this famous studio has become a center for British popular music with artists like Glenn Miller, Aretha Franklin, The Hollies Cilla Black The Beatles ABBA as well as many film soundtracks recording here over time.
Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi is one of the few bands from the 1980s still performing and drawing large crowds into stadiums today, while also producing new tracks and albums. Jon Bon Jovi stands out as an incredible rock star whose success stems from more than just singing and performing; rather, his success can be traced to qualities like honesty, unselfishness, kindness, open-mindedness and self-sacrifice demonstrated during his performances and earned numerous awards including induction into Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Bon Jovi formed in 1984 and released their self-titled debut album the following year. Although this produced several Top 40 hits, their 1986 album Slippery When Wet truly propelled them into mainstream culture. On this album they combined hard rock sounds with lyrics that spoke about everyday working class lives; Bon Jovi’s vocals would soar above tight rock ensemble while Richie Sambora’s anthemic guitar riffs made an unforgettable impactful statement about everyday working class life – never an easy combination to ignore!
After Slippery When Wet, Slippery When Wet began exploring different musical avenues. They explored confessional adult contemporary and reflective country while still maintaining their hard rock sound signature. Furthermore, Slippery When Wet inspired MTV Unplugged’s famous acoustic performance series.
Bon Jovi continued releasing hits into the early 2000s, including Because We Can and It’s My Life. At this time, individual band members also pursued solo projects: Sambora released Aftermath of the Lowdown as his third studio album and performed in several films; Jon Bon Jovi composed scores for films and tours alike while working on Stand Up Guys documentary; later that same year Bon Jovi released Inside Out — a live album for video featuring performances at London O2 Arena and New Jersey MetLife Stadium – featuring footage recorded live at London O2 Arena and New Jersey MetLife Stadium respectively – in 2012.
Green River
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival is an iconic song that showcases their formidable songwriting ability. Featuring a captivating melody and emotive lyrics that connect deeply with listeners on an emotional level, its meaning remains open for interpretation; generally though, its message tends to represent longing for simpler times while reconnecting with nature and one’s roots.
Fogerty was inspired to write “Green River” by childhood memories of Northern California’s Green River as a source of escape, tranquility and simplicity during periods of self-reflection in his life. Fogerty’s personal connection with this river adds authenticity and depth to its message in this song.
Green River may not be explicitly political or socially aware, yet its lyrics evoke feelings of longing and escape that resonate with many people. With its vivid imagery and emotive lyrics, this rock classic continues to influence generations of musicians and fans.
Green River played an instrumental role in shaping Seattle grunge. Their early recordings appeared on Deep Six compilation in 1986 alongside songs by Malfunkshun, Mother Love Bone Skin Yard and Soundgarden; its members went on to perform with other Seattle bands including Pearl Jam and Mudhoney.
Green River’s music draws influence from American Southern rock, blues, and country; their early sound combined heavy distortion with frenetic vocals. After reforming in 2008 to perform four shows reuniting Mark Arm, Steve Turner, Alex Shumway from Supersuckers; former March of Crimes bassist Jeff Ament were included among their ranks.
Justin Beiber
With an illustrious career spanning over a decade, Justin Bieber has made numerous guest appearances on other artists’ songs over time. From sensual R&B tunes to catchy dance numbers, here are some of his finest collaborations.
“As Long As You Love Me” marked an important turning point in his career and established him as a serious artist who would remain with us. With its big beats and emotive lyrics, the song set the scene for future collaborations such as his groundbreaking one with Big Sean that produced two more chart topping singles.
Shortly after his success with ‘As Long As You Love Me,’ Bieber joined forces with legendary producer Benny Blanco to craft “Lonely,” an emotional song which addressed the negative impacts of celebrity life on young stars. Yet its upbeat melody made for an ideal combination of genres.
Bieber made his EDM debut with DJ Snake and Major Lazer, but their collaboration really established his place as an EDM performer. Their hit single brought in new fans that hadn’t heard about him before and offered up big beats and an irresistibly catchy chorus that will get anyone dancing!
Rev Run’s son has quickly established himself as an industry mogul with two mixtapes and clothing lines to his credit, first joining forces with Justin Bieber for their remix of ‘Baby’ in 2010. Since then, they have collaborated to craft hits that bring back memories of teeny boppers and R&B crossovers from years past.
The Eagles
The Eagles is one of rock music’s most successful bands of all time, having made an indelible mark through their exquisite songwriting and dynamic band chemistry. Their songs have become the soundtracks to many lives; this documentary about their hits provides fans a behind-the-scenes look at their making as well as tumultuous personal relationships; Henley and Frey open up about them candidly during an intimate discussion between Henley and Frey regarding personal dynamics between themselves and other band members in an in-depth conversation, while footage from one last concert of The Eagles can also be found within.
The Eagles began as an American rock band formed in 1971 by Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Bernie Leadon. Their success quickly skyrocketed as they quickly rose in North American popularity; becoming one of the most renowned musical acts. Famous for catchy melodies and guitar-driven hooks combined with elements of country music into their sound; often compared with Fleetwood Mac (another iconic rock group that featured female backing vocals).
Although The Eagles initially experienced several internal disagreements, they eventually reached the peak of their success. With albums like Hotel California and Take It Easy reaching number one on Billboard charts and selling millions of concert tickets across North America and Europe – The Eagles became one of music’s greatest bands ever seen live!
In the late 1970s, The Eagles were one of America’s most acclaimed musical groups. Their distinctive blend of country and rock music became mainstream; additionally they introduced multi-part harmony singing.
The Eagles’ success can be attributed to many factors, including luck and circumstance. The documentary details their heavy use of drugs and alcohol as well as their feuds with fellow musicians and managers; including Henley/Frey conflict as well as tension with Timothy B. Schmit – these disputes were further complicated by Don Felder joining shortly before they disbanded in 1980.
