Top Albums

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the American rock band Journey, originally released in 1988 by Columbia Records. It is the band's best-selling career disc, spending 452 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart. Additionally, as of late 2014, it has logged nearly 1,000 weeks on Billboard's Catalog albums chart.
As of December 2008, it was reported to have been the sixth highest certified 'greatest hits' package in the United States according to the RIAA, behind only similar collections by The Eagles, Billy Joel, Elton John, and The Beatles' red and blue compilations.
It continues to be one of the most popular 'best of' packages, at times selling close to 500,000 copies globally per year. The album has been reissued several times and was digitally remastered for compact disc by Legacy Recordings, issued on August 1, 2006, with a bonus track. In Japan, the album has been reissued as Open Arms: Greatest Hits with the song "Open Arms" appearing as the first song on the album. A second Journey compilation album, Greatest Hits 2, was released in 2011.

Back in Black is the seventh studio album by Australian rock band AC/DC. It was released on 25 July 1980 by Albert Productions and Atlantic Records. It is the band's first album to feature vocalist Brian Johnson, following the death of previous vocalist Bon Scott.
After the commercial breakthrough of their 1979 album Highway to Hell, AC/DC was planning to record a follow-up, but in February 1980, Scott died from alcohol poisoning after a drinking binge. Instead of disbanding, they decided to continue on and recruited Johnson, who was previously vocalist for Geordie.
The album was composed by Johnson, Angus and Malcolm Young, and recorded over seven weeks in the Bahamas from April to May 1980 with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who had worked on their previous album. Following its completion, the group mixed Back in Black at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The album's all-black cover was designed as a "sign of mourning" for Scott.
As their sixth international studio release, Back in Black was an unprecedented success. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide. It is one of the best-selling albums in music history.

Too Fast For Love

Mötley Crüe's decadent, self-released 1981 debut, Too Fast for Love, shows a young band on the brink of a breakout. With a flair for defying authority, and a reverence for bands like Aerosmith and New York Dolls, the foursome personified dive-bar glam and punk—but with incredible melodic sensibility. Kicking off with the full throttle electricity of "Live Wire," and with lean, mean rockers like "Piece of Your Action" alongside anthems "Public Enemy #1" and the title track, the Crüe showed raw versatility and even a poignant side with the ballad "On With the Show." Though not coated with the gloss of professional production, this record paved the way for not only their own subsequent success but that of the '80s metal generation.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released in 1993. It is Petty's best-selling album to date and was certified 12× Platinum by the RIAA on April 28, 2015. The single "Mary Jane's Last Dance" became one of Petty's most popular songs, reaching No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The other new song on the album is a cover of the Thunderclap Newman hit "Something in the Air". The album contains no songs from 1987's Let Me Up. However, three songs from Petty's 1989 solo album Full Moon Fever were included.
On its original release in November 1993, the album debuted at No. 8 on Billboard 200, and first peaked at No. 5 on the chart in February 1994. It reached a new peak of No. 2 following Petty's death in 2017.
The new tracks "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "Something in the Air" would prove to be the band's last recordings with drummer Stan Lynch.

Dr. Feelgood is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, released on September 1, 1989. Dr. Feelgood topped the Billboard 200 chart and was the first album Mötley Crüe recorded after their quest for sobriety and rehabilitation in 1989. In addition to being Mötley Crüe's best selling album, it is highly regarded by music critics and fans as the band's best studio album. It is the band's last album to be recorded with lead singer Vince Neil until the 1997 album Generation Swine.

Greatest Hits is a 1988 compilation album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. It covers the period of the band's greatest commercial success, from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s.
It is different from the similarly titled 1971 release by the Peter Green incarnation of the band, and contains an entirely different track listing. The 1988 album in fact omits anything before 1975 including "Albatross", one of the band's biggest hits.
The album has proven to be a major success since the time of its release. It peaked at No. 14 in the US album chart, and sold steadily over the years since its release, and has to date been certified 8x platinum for shipping 8 million copies there. In the UK it reached No. 3 upon release and has returned several times to the UK album chart and has been certified triple platinum for shipping 900,000 copies there. In both the US and the UK, the album has returned to the album charts as recently as 2017.
The album contains two new tracks, "As Long As You Follow", and "No Questions Asked". The track listing for the US release differs slightly from that of other territories.

Appetite For Destruction

Appetite for Destruction is the debut studio album by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses. It was released on July 21, 1987, by Geffen Records.
The album was released to little mainstream attention in 1987. It was not until the following year that it became a massive commercial success, after the band had toured and received airplay with the singles "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child o' Mine". It topped the Billboard 200 and became the best-selling debut album of all time, as well as the eleventh best-selling album of all time in the United States. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, it is also one of the best-selling records of all time.
Although critics originally were ambivalent toward the album, Appetite for Destruction has since received retrospective acclaim and been viewed as one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2018, it was re-released as a remastered box set to similar acclaim.

Greatest Hits 1985-1995

Heart - Greatest Hits: 1985–1995 is a compilation album by the American rock band Heart. This compilation is a companion to the 1998 Epic release Greatest Hits and collects the band's studio hits from the Capitol Records years on a single disc, including the semi-rarities of the Ann Wilson and Cheap Trick singer Robin Zander duet "Surrender to Me" and the previously unreleased studio cover version of John Farnham's "You're the Voice".

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by Pat Benatar, released in June 2005 on Capitol Records. The album contains 20 digitally remastered tracks from Benatar's first seven studio albums, including one song from the 1983 live album Live from Earth. The compilation peaked at No. 47, lasting 15 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart.
The 2008 reissue by Capitol Records included a reuseable, eco friendly, shopping bag.

Under the Covers, Vol. II

Ninja Sex Party

Under the Covers, Vol. II is the fifth studio album by American comedy duo Ninja Sex Party. It is their second cover album and a follow-up to their previous album Under the Covers. It follows the same musical orientation, consisting of covers of songs from the 1970s and 1980s and straying from the duo's usual comedic style.
The album was released on October 27, 2017.
It is their second album to feature Tupper Ware Remix Party as backup band; guitarist Satchel from Steel Panther is also featured as a guest on "Limelight", as well as the Super Guitar Bros. on the final track, "Rocket Man".
