Songs for the Deaf

Usually dispatched within 24 hours
Universal (Audio CD) - August 22, 2002 |
Amazon.co.uk Review
On Songs for the Deaf, core Queens of the Stone Age members Nick
Oliveri and Josh Homme, with the help of like-minded consorts Dave Grohl
and Mark Lanegan, balance pure guitar-induced carnage with more complex,
though no less aggressive, speed rock that whips by so fast it creates
its own breeze.... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
The death of the lead singer would spell the end of most bands. But most
bands aren't AC/DC. After Bon Scott's overindulgence in alcohol lead to
his undignified end, lead guitarist Angus Young and Co. simply found a
singer that sounded exactly the same and carried on. The result: Back

Also known as the "rune" album because of the medieval symbols adorning
its cover, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them
from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks
like "Black Dog", "Misty Mountain Hop", and "Rock and Roll", the

This best-of is loaded with the usual smash suspects plus three new

Roses-style ballad single "Always", and a low-key remake of "Living On A

Sometimes overlooked by public and critics alike (though never American

string of hits, including the wonderful "Dancing in the Moonlight", "The
Boys Are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak" remain classic music. The band

Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were
all about and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its
predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd
indeed learned his lessons well. Witness "Whole Lotta Love", a woozy
epic based on one simple,... |

This 1975 release came smack in the middle of a long and nearly mythic

recorded before the influences of the day (synthesizers, disco) ended
Zeppelin's reign as the kings of loud and sexy blues-metal. Playfully

What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon
Scott, AC / DC's original lead singer who died just months after this
album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he
might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on
crunchy, hook-heavy metal... |

This is a glimpse of the future--and not because of its huge influence

grow bigger than his head; still, Appetite's night-train wreck of

As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was
indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped
define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In
shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could

Their name gives it away. Josh Homme's Queens Of The Stone Age are in

Funhouse-Stooges. Their debut, self-financed, self-titled album was
rock stripped back to the bone. As one would expect from a band formed

Slash still remains fairly strong with the guitar solos of course.
Duff McKagan surpisingly is included alot more in the main vocals this
time, he too along with Axl is a fairly powerful singer.
