@georgiosmasman.bsky.social"So here's this record of us 'live' with all the screaming and craziness: It sounds just like a Cheap Trick concert with a truly wild audience. Now I think about it, it appears obvious." #RickNielsen

@bandbee.bsky.socialPeter Gabriel (b. 1950)
He wore a fox head and flower costumes fronting Genesis, then walked away to make fearless solo art and champion world music. "Sledgehammer" gave MTV its most-played video ever. The art-rocker who became a humanitarian elder.
@bandbee.bsky.social"Surrealistic Pillow" (1967) war das erste Jefferson-Airplane-Album mit Grace Slick — und brachte mit "Somebody to Love" und "White Rabbit" ihre einzigen beiden Top-40-Hits der Hot 100. #RockHistory #PsychRock

@bandbee.bsky.social"The Who Sell Out" (1967) poses as a broadcast by pirate station Radio London, laced with fake commercials like "Heinz Baked Beans". Its release was reportedly followed by lawsuits over the real brand names. #RockHistory #ClassicRock
@bandbee.bsky.socialGenesis (1967–present)
Peter Gabriel fronted them dressed as a flower, a fox in a red dress, and a malformed alien — then left, and the drummer became one of the biggest pop stars on Earth. From art-rock theatre to stadium pop in one improbable arc.
@bandbee.bsky.socialAround Conspiracy of One (2000), the Offspring publicly backed peer-to-peer file sharing, insisting it wouldn't hurt sales.
@georgiosmasman.bsky.socialIf there's a note-perfect song on a note-perfect album, though, it might have to be "All I Want Is You" @thequietus.com
@bandbee.bsky.socialJudas Priests "Jugulator" (1997) war das erste Album mit Tim "Ripper" Owens als Nachfolger von Rob Halford - und das einzige der Band, das nie auf einer großen digitalen Plattform erschien, da Label SPV pleiteging. #RockHistory #Metal

@bandbee.bsky.socialRick Wakeman (b. 1949)
The caped keyboard wizard who staged 'King Arthur' on ice with a full orchestra and nearly bankrupted himself doing it. Six keyboards, endless wit, and the occasional on-stage curry. Prog's grandest showman.
@georgiosmasman.bsky.social#Hawkwind reignited themselves as the #Hawklords & #OnThisDay October 6, 1⃣9⃣7⃣8⃣ released '25 Years On'. It reached No.48 on the UK album charts. One ofbthe last truly great Hawk albums.
@bandbee.bsky.socialDire Straits' Debüt (1978) brachte "Sultans of Swing" hervor – Platz 4 der Billboard Hot 100 – und führte die Albumcharts in Deutschland, Australien und Frankreich an. #RockHistory #ClassicRock

@bandbee.bsky.socialMy Bloody Valentines "Loveless" (1991) entstand in neunzehn Studios; die Kosten sollen angeblich £250.000 erreicht haben. Danach warf Creation die Band raus. #RockHistory #Shoegaze
@bandbee.bsky.socialFoghat (1971–present)
"Slow Ride" — the boogie-rock juggernaut that soundtracks every '70s flashback. Masters of the extended, sweaty, foot-on-the-monitor blues-rock workout.
@bandbee.bsky.socialDeath's "Leprosy" (1988) war die erste Arbeit von Produzent Scott Burns, der danach unzaehlige Death-Metal- und Grindcore-Alben praegte. Es gilt als bahnbrechende Leistung des Genres. #RockHistory #Metal
