Extra Texture is George’s ‘soul record’, one where he both bares his soul and takes a more soulful approach to the songs than he'd done on much of his solo material to...
R.E.M. booked a five-night stand at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, lasting from 30 June to 5 July 2007, with advance billing referring to the shows as “public rehearsals”.
George Harrison’s Gone Troppo is an album that has improved with age; put it on and cast your mind back to a time when the world was a very different place.
The 1980 album laid the exciting ground rules for what U2 could be.
In May 1984, U2 convened at Slane Castle in Dublin, where the gothic ballroom was chosen as the location for early sessions on what became 'The Unforgettable Fire.'
The band's second album included anthems such as 'Gloria' and 'Fire,' as their reputation grew ever more powerful.
Artistically, ‘Automatic For The People’ arguably remains R.E.M’s high-water mark. It continues to attract plaudits from far and wide.
Released on 4 October 1974, John Lennon’s ‘Walls and Bridges’ was based on the walls around him and the bridges burned that were being rebuilt.

Californian pacesetter Beck was 32 when he recorded 'Sea Change,' and reviewers enthused that they’d never heard him write and perform with such maturity.

‘Document’ gave R.E.M. the chance to further broaden their palette, fashioning songs from riffs written on instruments such as mandolins and accordions.
George Harrison, along with his mentor Ravi Shankar and a host of stars, pulled off something that had never been achieved before. Concert For Bangladesh.
‘Lifes Rich Pagent’ was a watershed album for R.E.M. on which Michael Stipe gained in confidence as a frontman and began to clearly enunciate his lyrics.
