Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman have been inextricably linked since the beginning of their careers with the release of the classic Bat Out of Hell in 1977.

Review: The Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds 50"
50 years have passed since the original release of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, yet it still stands alone in the rock canon. The talents of Brian Wilson, Tony Asher, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Bruce Johnston coalesced in one unforgettable place and time to create music's most exquisite realization of both the exultant joy and beautiful melancholy of adolescence. It took until the compact disc era for Pet Sounds to be fully appreciated; the album wasn't certified

Reason To Believe: New Springsteen Live Archive Release from 1990 Features Two Acoustic Shows
For most of last year, Bruce Springsteen released archival concerts about once every month and a half. That pace has slowed this year. Perhaps this is due to Springsteen and the E Street Band's current The River tour, where each new show is soon ready for purchase shortly after its performance. But a new archival concert has just become available as we hit nearly the halfway point of 2016. This release, from November 16 and 17, 1990 and is a slightly more low-key affair than some of the

The Essential Going Back: Deluxe Edition
No stranger to the music of Motown, Phil Collins released Going Back in 2010 - an album packed with faithful covers of The Four Tops, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and many more. With the assistance of both original members of Motown backing band The Funk Brothers and some crucial in-studio trickery (following a surgery on Collins' vertebrae, he was able to drum by taping his sticks to his hands), Going Back became an expansive love letter to The Sound of Young America. In fact,
...But Seriously: Deluxe Edition
1989's ...But Seriously found Phil Collins and longtime producer Hugh Padgham adopting a more organic sound as they tackled weighty issues in song, including homelessness, apartheid and other global crises.

Review: The Monkees, "Good Times!"
Here they come...again! The Monkees have just released their first new album in twenty years, and all is right with the world. That much is evident from the opening track which gives the LP its title. "Good Times" was demoed by Harry Nilsson for The Monkees, never recorded by the group, and later released by Harry (and "The New Salvation Singers," natch) on Capitol's Tower imprint. Now, the late Nilsson's happily un-ironic, churning pop nugget gains new life as a duet with his
