The Count Five was a 1960s garage rock band from San Jose, California, best known for their Top 10 single "Psychotic Reaction". The band was founded in 1964 by John "Mouse" Michalski (lead guitar) and Kenn Ellner (harmonica, vocals), two high school friends who had previously played in several short-lived outfits. After going shortly under the name The Squires, and several line-up changes later, the Count Five were born. Roy Chaney took over bass duties, John "Sean" Byrne played rhythm guitar and lead vocals, and Craig "Butch" Atkinson played drums. The Count Five gained distinction for their habit of wearing Count Dracula-style capes when playing live. The band members were rejected by several record labels before they got signed to the Los Angeles-based Double Shot Records. "Psychotic Reaction" was released as a single, peaking at #5 in the U.S. charts in late 1966. The band got along for about another year, but dropped out of view altogether when their only hit had fallen from public memory. Another setback to a potential career in the music business was the decision of the five members (who were between the ages of 17 and 19) to pursue college degrees.01 - Psychotic Reaction02 - Double Decker Bus03 - Pretty Big Mouth05 - My Generation06 - She's Fine07 - Peace Of Mind08 - They're Gonna Get You09 - The Morning After10 - Can't Get Your Lovin'11 - Out In The Street12 - Teeny Bopper, Teeny Bopper13 - You Must Believe Me14 - Contrast15 - Merry-Go-Round16 - Declaration Of Independence17 - Revelation In Slow Motion18 - MailmanLINK |

 Neil Leslie Diamond is an American singer-songwriter. As a successful pop music performer, Diamond scored a number of hits worldwide in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. According to David Wild, common themes in Diamond's songs are "a deep sense of isolation and an equal desire for connection. A yearning for home – and at the same time, the allure of greater freedom. The good, the bad and the ugly about a crazy little thing called love." As of 2001 Diamond has 115 million records sold worldwide, including 48 million records in the U.S. In terms of Billboard chart success, he is the third most successful Adult Contemporary artist ever, ranking behind only Barbra Streisand and Elton John.

 Cocteau Twins were a Scottish alternative rock band active from 1979 to 1997, known for complex instrumentation and atmospheric, non-lyrical vocals. Though formed in the post-punk and New Wave era, the Cocteau Twins tended to defy concise categorisation, and their music was a key influence on dream pop. Whilst the entire band earned much critical praise, Elizabeth Fraser's distinctive vocals received the most attention. At times barely decipherable, Fraser seemed to veer into glossolalia and mouth music. Allmusic reviewer Ned Raggett writes that "part of her appeal is how she can make hard-to-interpret lyrics so emotionally gripping." Milk and Kisses is an album issued in 1996. It proved their last; a meeting two years later to record a new album ended with the breakup of the band.01 - Violane02 - Serpentskirt03 - Tishbite04 - Half-Gifts05 - Calfskin Smack06 - Rilkean Heart07 - Ups08 - Eperdu09 - Treasure Hiding10 - Seekers Who Are LoversLINK

Yusuf Islam commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is a British musician. He is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, philanthropist, and prominent convert to Islam. His early 1970s record albums Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat were both certified as Triple Platinum by the RIAA in the United States; his 1972 album Catch Bull at Four sold half a million copies in the first two weeks of release alone and was Billboard's number-one LP for three consecutive weeks. He has also earned two ASCAP songwriting awards in consecutive years for "The First Cut Is the Deepest", which has been a hit single for four different artists. Stevens converted to Islam at the height of his fame, in December 1977, and adopted his Muslim name, Yusuf Islam, the following year. He returned to pop music with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years. "This album is not for everyone. In the age of hard-edged, angry rap, some people will undoubtedly Yusuf's folky spiritualism out-moded and passe. For those of us who loved Cat Stevens thirty years ago, however, this disc represents a long-awaited return to a magical world we feared we had lost forever."01 - Midday (Avoid City After Dark)02 - Heavenwhere True Love Goes03 - Maybe There's A World04 - One Day At A Time05 - When Butterflies Leave06 - In The End07 - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood08 - I Think I See The Light09 - Whispers From A Spiritual Garden10 - Beloved11 - Green Fields, Golden SandsLINK

Bruce Springsteen - 1978 - Darkness On The Edge Of Town Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, nicknamed "The Boss", is an American singer-songwriter who records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey. Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band perform intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which he intersperses whimsical or deeply emotional stories. Recovering from legal troubles and the stress of the breakthrough success of Born to Run, Springsteen released a somewhat less commercial album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. Is the fourth album by Bruce, released in 1978.01 - Badlands02 - Adam Raised A Cain03 - Something In The Night04 - Candy's Room05 - Racing In The Street06 - The Promised Land07 - Factory08 - Streets Of Fire09 - Prove It All Night10 - Darkness On The Edge Of TownLINK Bruce Springsteen - 1992 - Lucky Town Lucky Town is the tenth studio album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 1992. This album was released on the same day as Human Touch. The title track was featured in the film Lucky You. When Springsteen was working on Human Touch, he was intending to release the album sometime in 1990, but the project took him longer than he thought. He shelved the project in early 1991 and came back to it in September of the same year. He was intending to make one more song for the album, but he ended up making ten new songs, which wound up making a whole new album. Once he completed Lucky Town, he decided to release both albums at the same time.01 - Better Days02 - Lucky Town03 - Local Hero04 - If I Should Fall Behind05 - Leap Of Faith06 - The Big Muddy07 - Living Proof08 - Book Of Dreams09 - Souls Of The Departed10 - My Beautiful RewardLINK

 One of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with B. B. King and Freddie King), Albert King stood 6' 4" (192 cm) and weighed 250 lbs (118 kg) and was known as "The Velvet Bulldozer". He was born Albert Nelson on a cotton plantation in Indianola, Mississippi. During his childhood he would sing at a family gospel group at a church. One of 13 children, King grew up picking cotton on plantations near Forrest City, Arkansas where the family moved when he was eight. He began his professional work as a musician with a group called In The Groove Boys in Osceola, Arkansas. He also briefly played drums for Jimmy Reed's band and on several early Reed recordings. Influenced by blues musicians Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lonnie Johnson, but also interestingly Hawaiian music, the electric guitar became his signature instrument, his preference being the Gibson Flying V, which he named "Lucy". Born Under a Bad Sign is a blues album recorded between 1966 and 1967, and released in 1967 by Stax Records. This was the first album Albert King recorded on Stax, and the title song became a blues standard.01 - Born Under A Bad Sign02 - Crosscut Saw03 - Kansas City04 - Oh, Pretty Woman05 - Down Don't Bother Me06 - The Hunter07 - (When I Lost My Baby) I Almost Lost My Mind08 - Personal Manager09 - Laundromat Blues10 - As The Years Go Passing By11 - The Very Thought Of YouLINK |
ABBA Live is an album of live recordings by Swedish pop group ABBA, released by Polar Music in 1986 (see 1986 in music). When this LP/CD was released, the band's popularity was at an all-time low and none of the members themselves were involved in the production of the album. ABBA Live contains recordings from 1977, 1979 and 1981 - much to the dismay of both music critics and ABBA fans it also had 80's synth drums overdubbed on most tracks, taking away the true live feeling of the performances. Neither did it feature any of the tracks that the band had performed live on their tours but never included on any of their studio albums, such as I Am An A, Get On The Carousel, I'm Still Alive, or the original live versions of the songs from the 1977 mini-musical The Girl With The Golden Hair; Thank You For The Music, I Wonder (Departure) and I'm A Marionette, all of which had slightly different lyrics and/or musical arrangements to the subsequent studio recordings included on ABBA - The Album. Fernando and Money, Money, Money recorded 3 and 12 March 1977, Australia, Two For The Price Of One, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, Super Trouper and On and On and On, recorded in SVT Studios for TV program Dick Cavett Meets Abba, April 29 1981, all other tracks recorded during performances at the Wembley Arena, 5/10 Nov 197901 - Dancing Queen 02 - Take A Chance On Me 03 - I Have A Dream 04 - Does Your Mother Know 05 - Chiquitita 06 - Thank You For The Music 07 - Two For The Price Of One 08 - Fernando 09 - Gimme!
