1	Moving Waves (1971) more music like this by Focus The album that boosted Focus into at least semi-fame outside of continental Europe, Moving Waves blasts off with their hit single, "Hocus Pocus." Built around a killer guitar hook by Jan Akkerman and a series of solo turns by the band, this instrumental replaced "Wipeout" as a staple of FM radio. The bizarrely hilarious vocal and accordion solos ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $23.52!
2	Mother Focus (1975) more music like this by Focus Focus here featured virtuoso guitarist Jan Akkerman for the last time, not to work with his long-term writing partner Thijs Van Leer for another ten years. Mother Focus also sees Focus' highly skilled bass player Bert Ruiter try his hand in songwriting. The outcome includes the one of the finest funk tracks on the album -- the hilarious "I Need a ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $23.52!
3	Millennium Classic Rock Party (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The "millennium" in Rhino's Millennium Classic Rock Party collection really is just a way to tart up a basic collection of familiar album rock songs. Nothing about this disc says anything about the millennium -- it just summarizes the '70s. On that level, it's really quite good, since it contains 20 tracks that have come to define classic rock ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $16.52!
4	Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day, Vol. 23 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino starts to wind down the '70s with this, the 23rd installment in their seemingly never-ending survey of the decade of stadium rock, disco, and glam. Once again the songs are all over the map, with Mike Oldfield's ambient pop ("Tubular Bells") sharing space with Pure Prairie League's California country ("Aime") and Sweet's bit of synth- and ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
5	Live at the Rainbow (1973) more music like this by Focus The instrumental rockers of the early '70s never were any good at dulling down their musical expertise; and, indeed, it's only a matter of seconds into their first and only live release -- Live at the Rainbow -- until one realizes just how talented Focus were. Jan Akkerman, named "World's Best Guitarist" by Melody Maker in 1973 ahead of Eric ... see all copies from $10.40! new only from $23.52!
6	In and Out of Focus (1970) more music like this by Focus Focus' debut album is gentler and more low-key and vocal-oriented than their subsequent efforts; fans of Jan Akkerman's pyrotechnics may be disappointed by his relatively restrained presence, but others may be pleasantly surprised to find a more economic group than they remember. A fair collection of progressive rock tunes without a clear focus, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $23.52!
7	Live at the BBC (2004) more music like this by Focus Recorded in concert in London by the BBC on March 21, 1976, this couldn't be considered a representative document of Focus at its peak, for the very important reason that it's missing guitarist Jan Akkerman. In fact, only Thijs Van Leer and Bert Ruiter remained from the original band by the time this was recorded; Akkerman had left only weeks ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
8	Hamburger Concerto (1974) more music like this by Focus Focus had well proven their ability to write rocking instrumentals by the time of this release. Their catalog, although consisting of four albums, rarely had a dull moment between them. Hamburger Concerto is equally consistent, much of it being prime Focus material. The Akkerman-written "Birth" and "Early Birth" are examples of Focus fully flexing ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $27.41!
9	Movin' Somethin' (Swing Ya Partners) [CD] (1997) more music like this by Focus see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Four Letter Monday Afternoon (1972) by Out of Focus Out of Focus' third album was their magnum opus, where all the stops are pulled out and the group, with the addition of a horn section and bongos, was at their most inventive. As a natural progression from the earlier two records, Four Letter Monday Afternoon has even longer instrumental sections, as well as far more variety. The double album ... see all copies from $47.05! new only from $47.05!
11	Ship of Memories (1977) more music like this by Focus Ship of Memories, a collection of rarities from Focus' catalog, is somewhat more diverse than most of the band's other releases. Starting off with "P's March," a track rooted in the style of Focus' debut album In and Out of Focus, Ship of Memories gradually works its way through the band's many phases to the Mother Focus styled "Crackers." The ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $28.59!
12 view cover	Fantastic, Vol. 1: Original Hits Original Stars (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Another from K-Tel's classic reissue series, with a selection of chart hits from various parts of the '70s. Some of the names have faded into the mists of time (Gunhill Road, as an example) and some of the songs have developed a less than thrilling patina (Tony Orlando & Dawn's "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree"), but there are plenty ... see all copies from $30.10!
13 view cover	Focus 9: New Skin (2006) more music like this by Focus Following on from the 2002 surprise comeback album Focus 8, founding member Thijs Van Leer prolongs this legendary Dutch band's inspired new run with what would, in the '70s, have been called a double-LP's worth of further new material. Moreover, Pierre van der Linden (drummer of the classic '70s Focus lineup) joins him this time, with young ... see all copies from $32.93! new only from $32.93!
14	Dutch Masters (1975) more music like this by Focus Fans of progressive rock who want to investigate Focus' music can add Dutch Masters to their list of compilations with which to begin. While it isn't the most inclusive set, it does offer up a clear perspective of the band's sound while being comprised of tracks by Focus' three different lineups. The songs span the years 1970 to 1973 and cover ... see all copies from $7.00!

16	Best of Focus [Alex] (1994) more music like this by Focus see all copies from $18.00!
17 view cover	Focus 8 (2002) more music like this by Focus Focus 8 is a fantastic record by Thijs van Leer, Jan Dumée, Bobby Jacobs, and Bert Smaak, the new-millennium version of the band Focus. The instrumentals show real spirit and creativity without the bombast of the 1973 opus "Hocus Pocus," which branded the group forever as "progressive rock." Yes, it is still arty King Crimson meets Jethro Tull ... see all copies from $17.73! new only from $17.73!
18 view cover	Focus III [Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by Focus Riding on the success of their hit single "Hocus Pocus" from the revolutionary Moving Waves album, Focus got to work on this, their third LP in four years. While the debut album featured a style not too dissimilar to the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Focus' second LP, Moving Waves, was purely instrumental and wholly serious-minded. Focus III kept this ... see all copies from $64.95!
19 view cover	Sweet and Sour (2002) more music like this by Phil Asher Presents Focus One of West London's leading proponents of the influential broken-beat movement, Phil Asher gets down to the business of delivering his first artist album for DJ Gilb'r's respected French imprint. With over 80 of his own productions already under his belt, Asher is no stranger to the studio, though this eclectic collection may still surprise those ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
