Richard Marx was one of the most talented musicians of the late eighties and early nineties. This compilation of his great hits truly lives up to its title as it comprises almost every big hit he had during his flourishing heyday. Melodious rock classics like "Endless Summer Nights", "One Thing Left", "Hazard" and his signature song "Right Here Waiting" are incorporated here beside the more aggressive singles such as "Should've Known Better" and "Satisfied".
CD features twelve songs, ten live plus two brand new studio songs, and DVD features twenty one songs.
If I was to pick most talent groups that on track producing music in the late eighties, I would almost certainly have fingers left on at least one group. Blues Traveler is one of those groups that creates the grade. Their Fourth and Fifth albums certainly got them in the public eye. They then followed up with the overlooked Bridge. Unfortunately afterward, the group when in a tailspin, it landed them their very own Behind the Music.
Now after almost four years hiatus, Blues Traveler returns with a brand new album titled Suzie Cracks the Whip. Set for release on June 26, 2012 through 429 Records. Suzie Cracks the Whip will contain the following track listing:
1."You Don't Have To Love Me"
2."Recognize My Friend"
3."Devil In The Details"
4."All Things Are Possible"
5."Things Are Looking Up"
6."Love Is Everything (That I Describe)"
7."I Don't Wanna Go'
8."Nobody Fall In Love With Me"
9."Cover Me"
10."Saving Grace"
11."Big City Girls"
12."Cara Let The Moon"

Saint Vitus are one of the best and well-known of traditional doom metal bands. But don't assent to the phrase doom metal stop you from listening to their music: in fact they sound like Black Sabbath blended with Creddance Clearwater Revival, that is, typically seventies heavy metal with Southern Rock influence.
After almost seventeen years since their last record “Die Healing” in 1995, Saint Vitus returns with their eight studio album “Lillie: F-65”, due for release on April 27, 2012 via Season of Mist. Lillie: F-65 contains the following track list:
Saint Vitus were a much underrated group for their time. Some people loved them, and some reviled them. Sadly, the mediocre sound quality and production on their records never really meet their true power as an excellent rock band that developed into a massive influence in the doom-stoner rock scene of today. So when listening to their records you really need to surpass the raw primitive sonic qualities of the recording and go deep into the music itself in order to make out what wonderful music this is.
I came across Enter Shikari on Maden NFL 08. It was an accidental encounter relating one of their tracks, but I instantly loved their music. While some may think the rock/electronics clash, I think it's a rather distinctive sound. The "rock" side delivers crushing guitars, while the keyboards give a great melodic undertone. I like their heavy guitars and drums that go nicely into harmonious and catchy choruses. I enjoy most of their tracks on their previous two CDs. This band isn't for everyone but they're a favorite of mine.
Enter Shikari will be releasing their third studio album “A Flash Flood of Colour” on January 16, 2012 via Ambush Reality, Hopeless. The new album will contain the following tracks:
The Maccabees have got to be one of the most underestimated bands of all time. I think 2009 was a great year for them. Their sophomore album was brilliantly written and proved their maturity as a band. I think they may be one of those "fine wine" bands- getting better and better with each successive release. As their debut album stays a favorite of mine, it was always going to be hard to follow but Wall of Arms does it for me. It's an appeal to say "all of them!" but most terrific have to be "Love you Better" and "No Kind Words". But, what makes The Maccabees such a great band is their talent to perform live- I have seen them several times and each time I have been blown away so if you ever get the chance to catch them live- do it! It's an unforgettable experience.
The Maccabees will be releasing their third studio album “Given to the Wild” on January 09, 2012 via Fiction. The CD contains thirteen tracks as listed below:
