The Best of Simple Minds

The Best of Simple Minds (2002) more music like this

by Simple Minds

Simple Minds, the Scottish group led by Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, has had a very different career in the U.S. from the one it's enjoyed in its native U.K., and that leads to different estimations of this compilation. As far as Britain is concerned, it is a much-needed, comprehensive collection of the band's hit singles, no less than 26 of ...

Hit

Hit (2003) more music like this

by Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel's work doesn't lend itself easily to compilations -- not because he didn't cut singles, since he made many terrific stand-alone singles, but because his body of work is so idiosyncratic, even contradictory, that it's possible to have perfectly valid differing perspectives on his catalog. This results in differing opinions among fans, ...

Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats

Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats (1990) more music like this

by Peter Gabriel

Greatest-hits albums are a traditional way of buying time for artists between albums. Peter Gabriel's, entitled Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats, arrived in December of 1990, as he was toiling away at the follow-up to his smash So, which was four years old at that point. As greatest-hits albums go, it's pretty good, containing all the hits, ...

Peter Gabriel [3]

Peter Gabriel [3] (1980) more music like this

by Peter Gabriel

Generally regarded as Peter Gabriel's finest record, his third eponymous album finds him coming into his own, crafting an album that's artier, stronger, more song-oriented than before. Consider its ominous opener, the controlled menace of "Intruder." He's never found such a scary sound, yet it's a sexy scare, one that is undeniably alluring, and ...

Street Fighting Years

Street Fighting Years (1989) more music like this

by Simple Minds

Their first proper new release since the commercial breakthrough of Once Upon a Time (a live album intervened) and Simple Minds makes a decidedly, noncommercial follow-up. Street Fighting Years is a moody, dark affair. The music is yearning and most of the songs are politically charged lyrically. It was a move that could (and did) bring commercial ...

Plays Live

Plays Live (1983) more music like this

by Peter Gabriel

Although he had thrived on live performance as a member of Genesis, Peter Gabriel waited until he was four albums and six years deep into his solo career -- with the hit album Security and the Top 40 "Shock the Monkey" chalked up to his credit -- before he took the plunge into concert recording with this album. Released as a double-LP and two-CD ...

Wakafrika

Wakafrika (1994) more music like this

by Manu Dibango

Among American audiences, Manu Dibango is best known for "Soul Makossa," a highly infectious blend of African music, soul-funk, and jazz that became a major pop hit in the early '70s. The African artist revisited his signature tune on 1994's Wakafrika, which boasts an all-star cast that includes Peter Gabriel as well as Haiti's Papa Wemba and ...

Mid-Eighties

Mid-Eighties (1993) more music like this

by Robert Wyatt

Basically, this is an expanded version of the 1985 album Old Rottenhat, with the addition of eight extra tracks from the period: the four-song Work in Progress EP, two songs from the B-side of "Shipbuilding," and a couple of cuts from various-artist compilations. These bonus tracks are hardly extraneous, containing as they do some of his strongest ...

by The Flirtations

Stunning, exciting, moving, engrossing and hysterically funny, this album gives you a front row seat for the best gay act in America. Recorded in Vancouver in December 1992, Out on the Road captures all the excitement of The Flirts' live performances. The album contains Flirts faves "Boy from New York City," "Johnny Angel," "Lesbian Love," "The ...

The third installment of music from shows benefiting Amnesty International (following albums in 1982 and 1984) preceded the 1988 tour and includes several artists who were featured on that jaunt. Jackson Browne contributes an earnest reading of his "For Everyman" and Peter Gabriel's staple, "Biko," with Lou Reed and Youssou N'Dour, is solemn and ...
