Recorded between 1979 & 1995. Includes liner notes by Tony Fletcher. Ranging chronologically from the guitar-heavy post-punk of his early recordings to the smooth, Adult Contemporary stylings of 1995's "Wonderful," THE ESSENTIAL ADAM ... Full DescriptionANT provides a compact overview of this seminal '80s popster. Ant was key to the development of the image and sound of early-'80s New Pop; his flamboyant persona and infectious, angular rock (flavored with elements of punk, dance, and pop melodicism) struck a chord with the public. Songs like "Stand and Deliver" and "Antmusic"-- which feature pounding, tribal drums and wry, chant-oriented choruses-- are inventive, yet immediately accessible. Consequently, these tunes topped the British charts in the '80s.
Naturally, these hit tracks are included on THE ESSENTIAL, as are the cheeky "Prince Charming" and the jaunty "Goody Two Shoes" (both of which also reached #1 in England). Ant's skill in incorporating the dark, jagged energy of post-punk into pop contexts is further evidenced on the psychobilly of "Place in the Country" and the goth-disco hybrid "Desperate But Not Serious." Appropriately, the compilation only includes two tracks from Ant's slicker '90s output, putting the emphasis firmly on his career highpoints. Though devotees will want to own the original albums, THE ESSENTIAL is a top-notch collection of Adam Ant's finest moments.

Hard-rock juggernauts Guns 'N' Roses arrived as rock & roll saviors in a dark time of generic hair metal and bloated pop. With only five studio albums to draw from (one being the all-covers SPAGHETTI INCIDENT), nearly a third of the material on GREATEST HITS is unsurprisingly devoted to other people's songs. Inclusions range from a dramatic version of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heavens Door" and an outsized take on Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" to punk classic "Ain't It Fun" and doo-wop nugget "Since I Don't Have You."
The band's original songs, however, are the heart of G'N'R's appeal. Start with the quintessential heavy-rock anthem "Welcome to the Jungle." Amid the thunderous time-keeping and tasty riffing are slinky grooves, ...

When Jon Anderson rejoined Yes after DRAMA, he was inserting himself into an unusual situation. Keyboardist Geoff Downes and longtime guitarist Steve Howe had left to form Asia with prog rock vets John Wetton (King Crimson, Roxy Music etc.) and Carl Palmer (ELP). Chris Squire and Alan White brought original Yes keysman Tony Kaye back and recruited vibrant young Australian guitarist/vocalist/composer Trevor Rabin. The quartet had already begun writing and recording, but Anderson was able to insert himself into the proceedings ...
