It was also the first of the band's albums to be composed of completely original material. It represents a musical turning point for Led Zeppelin, as they began to use more layering and production techniques in recording their songs.

对来自俄亥俄州的奇女子Chrissie Hynde来说，叛逆就是一种坚持，难以驯服的摇滚态度，当个反皮衣服饰的行动派，作个追求自然的素食主义者，Chrissie在肯特州立大学念了三年，就在74年只身前往伦敦追逐摇滚生活，以帮NME杂志撰写乐评起头，周游法、美、英等国玩团，76年原本打算邀The Clash乐团的Mike Jones组团，78年，Chrissie与贝斯手Pete Farndon、吉他手James Honeyman-Scott、鼓手Martin Chambers组成The Pretenders，79年以一首The Kinks乐团团员Ray Davis所写的Stop Your Sobbing闯进英国金榜前30名，接以Kid乘胜追击，巡回演唱处处都是爆满人潮。80年首张专辑「The Pretenders」，Chrissie不加修饰的刚强情感嗓音正式引爆风潮，专辑坐上英国榜第9，单曲Brass In Pocket勇冠英国金榜冠军，Talk Of The Town拿下top10，就在80年，The Pretenders的绽放的新摇滚神采席卷美国。

这是Elvis Costello的第一张个人专辑，首发于1977年。当时他还是个负责“数据输入”的小职员，业余时间参与一些酒吧的演唱和创作，也曾发行过一些单曲，但反响都不太大。这张专辑的录制基本上都是在深夜进行的，总共录制时间不超过24小时，而为他演奏的乐队成员则基本上是友情支援，由于合约关系，他们中很多人甚至连名字都没有在制作名单里出现。这张艰苦奋斗的专辑取得了不错的成绩，在英国得到了公众的注意，在美国的Billboard也排到了第32位。从此Elvis Costello开始正式进入歌坛。

Get Ready is the seventh studio album by English musical group New Order. Released in August 2001 this was the group's first album in eight years, following 1993's Republic. Peter Hook said of the album's title, "The title of the album is 'Get Ready' so it could mean anything or nothing. I thought it was just nice, New Order, 'Get Ready', 'cos we are, we're getting ready for the next phase of our musical lives both physically and mentally so it's quite a simple thing but it's very pertinent." The album was dedicated to Rob Gretton, the manager of Joy Division and New Order, who died in 1999. Keith Strickland, guitarist for the New Wave act The B-52's stated the sounds of "Get Ready" inspired him to make the sound for the B-52's 2008 album Funplex. The band The Killers took their name from the band playing in the "Crystal" video. "Someone Like You" appears in the independent film Haggard: The Movie. The album features a cover art directed by Peter Saville and designed by Howard Wakefield who have also designed covers for New Order and Joy Division albums. The cover model is German actress Nicolette Krebitz. In 2009, "Slow Jam" was used in a Visa advertising campaign.

Waiting for the Sirens' Call is the eighth studio album by the English rock band New Order. The album was released on 28 March 2005 in the United Kingdom and 25 April 2005 in the United States, and was preceded by the single "Krafty" in February. Two additional singles from the album were released: "Jetstream", which features vocals by Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters, and the title track of the album. The album was released at a time when the band were experiencing unprecedented recognition in the media. Waiting for the Sirens' Call marks Phil Cunningham's recording and co-writing debut with New Order; although he had been playing live with the band since the Get Ready tour of 2001–2002. It is the first New Order album recorded without Gillian Gilbert who left the band in 2001 to look after her family. The album was recorded at Real World studios in 2003–2004, and production costs totalled £700,000. During the sessions the band also recorded seven songs intended for their next album, which was never completed as planned. These songs were shelved when Peter Hook quit the group in 2007. One song, "Hellbent", was eventually released in 2011 and all seven (plus a remix of "I Told You So") were released as the album Lost Sirens in 2013. This album was the first and only New Order album to have a title track. This matches their current trend of now using song titles which are in the song lyrics, a practice New Order rarely did before their 2001 album Get Ready. The Japanese release includes several alternate versions of "Krafty" as bonus tracks, including one sung in Japanese. This was the first time that lead singer Bernard Sumner performed in a language other than English on record. The lyrics were translated by Masafumi Gotō. The USA release of this album includes one extra track, a remix of "Guilt Is a Useless Emotion".

凯特·斯蒂文斯是英国民谣摇滚的代表人物，1947年7月21日生于伦敦，原名史蒂文·乔治乌（Steven Georgiou）。当他成为一名国际明星之后，于1979年皈依宗教并放弃了他的音乐事业。60年代中期，斯蒂文斯在哈默史密斯大学期间就开始自己创作歌曲并于1966年以一首《我喜欢我的狗》（I Love My Dog）走红。1968年，斯蒂文斯感染了肺结核，这迫使他暂时停止了音乐生涯。1970年，他以专辑《Mona Bone Jakon》重返乐坛，并受到一致好评，其中还产生了一首热门歌曲《德，阿班维尔太太》（Lady D'Arbanville）。以后，他继续推出专辑《舵手的茶叶》（Tea of the Tillerman，1971）、《数字》（Numbers，1975），《Izitso》（1977）和《回到地球》（Back to Earth，1978）均获得一定的成绩。 七十年代, 出现过一期Singer-songwriter movement, 出现过的名字有John Denver, James Tayler, Jackson Browne及Cat Stevens, 他们的歌曲很温馨舒情, 一派校园民歌气息. Cat Stevens的Morning has broken, Wild World, The first cut is the deepest等, 全部词入心, 曲入耳. 难得此碟十分慷慨, 好歌一一收录还加有一首Perviously unreleased的I ve Got A Thing About Seeing My Grandson Grow Old。 曾经的英国民谣强人，现在已经不用这个名字，也不唱歌了，但他的唱作人生涯其实是很成功的，据说他全部唱片的总销量达到了6000万张，相当骄人。出这张Tea for the Tillerman的时候，他的前妻跟人跑了，那首Hard Headed Woman就是说这个事的。不过，专辑整体上却并未沦为一张吐苦水的专辑，只是在保留他一贯风格的同时稍微融入了一点罕见的热烈而已，里面的歌都不错

在80年代末至90年代，英国出现了纯粹以吉他噪音实验为目标的乐队与风格，并且获得了相当大的成功，在英国独立摇滚中可谓独树一帜。敏感的乐评人称这一类音乐风格为“自赏摇滚”（Shoe-gazing）。“自赏摇滚”这一名称很是贴切，既包涵了乐队的音乐风格，又暗示了乐队特立独行的生活态度。 My Bloody Valentine就是这类摇滚的代表人物，Loveless是该乐队的第三张专辑，被公认为是该乐队最成功的代表作，在世界范围内都有巨大影响，这张专辑和乐队名称甚至一起出现在了经典游戏Final FantasyVII的片头CG里。

Opening with the ominous, fiery protest of "Sunday Bloody Sunday," War immediately announces itself as U2's most focused and hardest-rocking album to date. Blowing away the fuzzy, sonic indulgences of October with propulsive, martial rhythms and shards of guitar, War bristles with anger, despair, and above all, passion. Previously, Bono's attempts at messages came across as grandstanding, but his vision becomes remarkably clear on this record, as his anthems ("New Year's Day," "40," "Seconds") are balanced by effective, surprisingly emotional love songs ("Two Hearts Beat as One"), which are just as desperate and pleading as his protests. He performs the difficult task of making the universal sound personal, and the band helps him out by bringing the songs crashing home with muscular, forceful performances that reveal their varied, expressive textures upon repeated listens. U2 always aimed at greatness, but War was the first time they achieved it.
