The Tubes (1975) more music like this

by The Tubes

Produced by Al Kooper, this debut by the notorious San Francisco group is best known for the blazing anthem "White Punks on Dope." Although the Tubes' raison d'être was their shock-rock stage dynamic, Bill Spooner, Fee Waybill, and company could, on occasion, deliver some offbeat pop splendor. A good example is the song "Haloes," co-written with ...

Remote Control

Remote Control (1979) more music like this

by The Tubes

After stunning the rock world with their memorable debut in 1975, the Tubes ran into trouble. Although Young And Rich and Now had fine moments, they were uneven and left many rock pundits wondering if the Tubes had anything to offer besides shock value. They got their answer with the release of Remote Control, a cohesive and surprisingly ...

The Completion Backward Principle

The Completion Backward Principle (1981) more music like this

by The Tubes

The Completion Backward Principle was the first release on EMI/Capitol by San Francisco-based the Tubes. It found the outrageous septet working with producer David Foster, who gives the record a high-gloss sheen. It's a pairing that, while possibly surprising to fans of the band's earlier releases, actually works quite nicely. The ballads (the Top ...

What Do You Want from Live

What Do You Want from Live (1978) more music like this

by The Tubes

Although their studio albums were often hit-and-miss affairs, the Tubes could always be counted on for a good live show during their mid-1970s heyday. In fact, they became a legend in the rock and roll world for the glitzy shows, which included half-nude women performing elaborate dance routines and a variety of characters invented by frontman Fee ...

The Best of the Tubes [Capitol]

The Best of the Tubes [Capitol] (1992) more music like this

by The Tubes

The Tubes were true American rock & roll originals who appeared to be headed for permanent cult-band status and a footnote for the minor hit "White Punks on Dope." However, having signed with Capitol at the beginning of the '80s, the group enjoyed a couple of successful albums, several radio hits, and a solid profile on the fledgling MTV. The Best ...

VH1: More of the Big 80's

VH1: More of the Big 80's (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Big 80's, a half-hour of classic videos from the glory days of MTV, was one of VH1's most popular programs, so it wasn't a surprise that they decided to release a compilation of songs regularly featured on the show. Once that disc became a hit -- it was one of Rhino's biggest sellers in years -- VH1: More of the Big 80's was just around the ...

The Best of the Tubes 1981-1987 [EMI]

The Best of the Tubes 1981-1987 [EMI] (1995) more music like this

by The Tubes

The Tubes weren't album rockers in the classic sense, meaning that they didn't have the kind of devotion or mystery that served the likes of Pink Floyd or Yes so well. Nevertheless, there's no question that they were album rockers, crafting concept records about evils like television and receiving heavy, heavy airplay from AOR stations across the ...

Outside Inside

Outside Inside (1983) more music like this

by The Tubes

Another bit of clever packaging outside (the record label featured an iris that appeared through a cutout on the sleeve) and inside, where producer David Foster and even more members of Toto help the Tubes punch up their new radio-ready sound with added energy. If their last record showed a newfound dancefloor sensibility, Outside Inside is ...

Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 8

Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 8 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

Following the brief dip of Vol. 7, Vol. 8 of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's would have automatically seemed like a great listen, even if it wasn't as good as it is. However, a fortunate string of events made this one of the greatest collections of the series. It works because there's not just a bunch of big new wave hits, but ...

T.R.A.S.H. (Tubes Rarities and Smash Hits) (1981) more music like this

by The Tubes

The Tubes' reputation (or lack thereof) is built on their uninhibited '70s performances, and, to a much lesser extent, on the non-hits collected on T.R.A.S.H. Before ultra-clean David Foster production pushed the Tubes into the Top 40 in the '80s, this circus of the insane recorded with an eclectic array of talent, delivering bouncy, wavy ...

Shape Fitness Music: Cardio, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Shape magazine organized the Fitness Music series with the intention of providing the perfect music for 60-minute workouts. Each tape is designed for nonstop workouts, so the music is non-stop -- each song is segued together -- and vaguely mirrors a workout, with warm-up and cool-down sections to the music. The liner notes also included a number ...

Tubes World Tour 2001 (2000) more music like this

by The Tubes

The Tubes didn't invent the idea of rock & roll as theater, but they certainly thrived on the concept. Few bands have had a more entertaining and over the top live show than the Tubes; while their studio albums can be uneven, they never had a problem going that extra mile on stage. 1978's What Do You Want From Live? remains the best document of ...

Then and Now (2004) more music like this

by The Tubes

Stop drooling over the tracklisting, this isn't the great Tubes compilation you've been waiting for. Although it may look like the collection that finally marries the early years with the later ones, Then and Now takes half of its tunes from Tubes World Tour and half from the demo filled Dawn of the Tubes with one track from the first album as a ...

The Number Ones: Eighties Rock (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

In 1998 the Simitar label, a division of Warner Special Products, released several budget-priced discs featuring number one hits from the '60s, '70s and '80s, loosely based around such themes as Rock It Up, Lovin' Feelings and Party On. Each disc presents the original version of these popular singles on a 16-track CD. Number Ones: Eighties Rock ...

Mainstream goth punk icon Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is a valley girl voiced vampire persona created during the 1980s by Los Angeles KHJ-TV "Movie Macabre" hostess Cassandra Wilson. In 1987, Rhino released Haunted Hits, the first of three Elvira Halloween compilation albums. This grab bag of theatrically overbearing routines is most likely to ...

Alterno-Daze: Origin of the Species -- 2000 BC To ? (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rebound's Alterno-Daze: Origin of the Species -- 2000 BC To ? attempts to offer a brief summary of underground, proto-punk, punk and new wave staples -- sort of a punk primer to kids turned onto alternative music through Nirvana or Green Day. Since it's a budget priced compilation, it shouldn't be surprising that it clocks in at 12 tracks (ten on ...

Young & Rich (1976) more music like this

by The Tubes

After knocking out an impressive debut with their self-titled 1975 release, The Tubes fell prey to the dreaded sophomore slump on their second album Young And Rich. Although this album contains a fistful of inspired and witty tracks, it simply lacks the coherence and consistent material that made The Tubes such a cheeky delight. Young And Rich ...

Runway Hits: Music from the Catwalk (1998) more music like this

Runway Hits: Music from the Catwalk is supposed to sound like the music that models strut to at a fashion show, and to a certain extent it does. After all, stylish dance music makes for perfect music for modeling. However, Runway Hits is a bit all over the place and, more importantly, doesn't follow the utmost rule of fashion -- keep one step ...

CEMA Special Markets' Rock of the 80's collects ten hit songs from the decade. Seemingly compiled without reason or theme, the tracks are mostly made up of soft-rocking AOR staples. The main thing they have in common is the glossy processed sound of the '80s and solid hooks. The standouts are Night Ranger's "You Can Still Rock in America," ...
