Classic Albums Celebrating 40th & 50th Anniversaries in 2019

Some of culture’s most beloved albums are seeing milestone anniversaries in 2019. Whether they were released 10, 20 or even 50 years ago, these albums have left a lasting impression on music and culture that can still be felt all these years later.

Last week, Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, took a look back at some influential albums celebrating milestone 10^th, 20^th and 30^th anniversaries in 2019. This week, we bring you the second half of that list, this time featuring iconic albums turning 40 and 50 this year. Here are just a few titles that have continued to leave their mark nearly half-a-century after their initial release.

Forty Years:

1.       Pink Floyd, ‘The Wall’: Helmed by Roger Waters, ‘The Wall’ was one of Pink Floyd’s most ambitious and successful albums. A concept album dealing with Waters’ deep-seeded feelings of isolation and abandonment, the passion put into the project gave it wide-reaching appeal. Upon its release, it spent 15 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and produced their only number one single, “Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2.” It has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling double LP of all. The album It also inspired a cult-classic film just a few short years later.

2.       AC/DC, ‘Highway to Hell’: After five albums, AC/DC finally broke through in the US with their sixth release, ‘Highway to Hell,’ in 1979. The title track became an instant classic upon release and drew new fans into the band’s fanbase. Unfortunately, ‘Highway’ would also become their last to feature Bon Scott on vocals.

Fifty Years:

1.       The Beatles, ‘Abbey Road’: ‘Abbey Road’ was one of The Beatles’ most iconic albums, featuring some of the band’s most important late-career work. Tracks like the George Harrison-penned “Something” and “Here Comes The Sun,” and John Lennon’s “Come Together,” became indisputable hits, propelling the album to the top of the charts in several countries.

2.       The Who, ‘Tommy’: When you think of rock operas, the first album that comes to mind is The Who’s groundbreaking 1969 release, ‘Tommy.’ The story of a child who becomes deaf, blind and dumb after witnessing a tragedy, the album stunned fans and critics alike, launching The Who to even higher points of popularity. The album sold more than 20 million copies as of 2015 and remains the ultimate rock opera.

3.       Led Zeppelin, ‘Led Zeppelin I’ & ‘Led Zeppelin II’: Led Zeppelin’s debut album was unlike anything music had heard prior to 1969. While rock at the time was beginning to focus more on fast and loud, ‘Led Zeppelin I’ focused on creating compositions that combined blues and heavy rock guitars, regardless of length. The sound became a precursor to heavier ones, especially heavy metal. But the band didn’t stop there. By the end of the year they released a second album, which was heavier than the first and more-well received by critics. ‘Led Zeppelin II’ is also considered by many publications to be one of the most influential albums of all time.

From bands nearing the end of their run to those who were just getting started, some of rock’s most influential and iconic albums are celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2019. These albums continue to be remembered fondly decades after their initial success, withstanding the test of time and being passed on for rediscovery by newer generations.

Week In Review: New Songs / Music Videos You Need to Check Out (January 20-26, 2019)

There is a lot of music released over the course of any given week, so much so that it can be hard to keep up with everything that comes out. But with the weekend upon us, now is a great time to look back at some of what the past seven days has had to offer.

This week saw a lot of great new music, especially when it came to rock. Vampire Weekend announced their first new album in six years with two brand new singles. Conor Oberst debuted his new musical project with Phoebe Bridgers with a surprise album release. We got new tracks from Jenny Lewis and American Football’s upcoming albums. Further, Twenty One Pilots, Frank Turner, Mayday Parade, Florence and the Machine and more put out new singles from their recent releases.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for the week’s best new songs and music videos. Here are six of our favorites that we think are worth checking out.

1.       Better Oblivion Community Center, “Dylan Thomas”: Better Oblivion Community Center, the collaboration between Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst, released their debut album this week along with its first single, “Dylan Thomas.” The song is surprisingly upbeat for its fairly cynical lyrics, but it works. Bridgers’ and Oberst’s voices complement each other well as they sing in unison, neither one overshadowing the other vocally. (video)

2.       Jenny Lewis, “Red Bull & Hennessey”: Airing on the side of country-tinged rock, Jenny Lewis’ latest single “Red Bull & Hennessey” is a burner coming out of the gate. Featuring an all-star back-up band that includes Ringo Starr on drums, Ryan Adams on guitar, Don Was on bass and Benmont Tench on vox and piano, there is real strength behind the instrumental. Capped off with Lewis’ almost Stevie Nicks-like vocal performance, it’s a track that makes you excited for what’s to come on the new album. (video)

3.       Vampire Weekend, “Harmony Hall” & “2021”: Vampire Weekend released their first new songs in six years this week. “Harmony Hall” and “2021” are a lot more folk-y than much of their previous work, though that’s not a bad thing. “Harmony Hall” has a tranquil, “life goes on” quality to it. The piano interlude adds a jazzy element to the song that spreads even more hope into its final moments. “2021” is even more soft-spoken and contemplative, though its addition of a more pronounced drum beat, electronic guitar riffs and sound effects is a little more familiar. (“Harmony” and “2021”)

4.       Frank Turner, “Don’t Worry”: Frank Turner gives some great advice for all the doubters with his latest single, “Don’t Worry.” In his typical folk-punk style, he puts the listener at ease, telling them that it’s okay to not have all the answers and to not give up when something is harder than expected. Most importantly though, he says that no one is alone in their feelings, that even he doesn’t always know what to do. The point being that we will all figure it out as we go along. (video)

5.       American Football feat. Hayley Williams, “Uncomfortably Numb”: A play on the classic Pink Floyd track, “Uncomfortably Numb” is an ethereal, downbeat track contemplating life and its changes. Paramore’s Hayley Williams plays off frontman Mike Kinsella’s tortured vocals well, giving a performance more haunting than anything she has done before. (video)

6.       Mayday Parade, “Sunnyland”: “Sunnyland” is a heartfelt piece if acoustic pop-punk. Its nostalgic lyrics and wistful melody will have you yearning for simpler times and better days. The way the song builds in such an intense, grand fashion is very orchestral and could probably go even a little further in that direction than it does. (video)

From pop-punk to indie rock, there was a lot to be excited about in terms of new songs and music videos this week. Take this weekend to catch up on what you may have missed, starting with checking out some of our favorite new tracks above. Then, let us know what new songs you enjoyed in the comments below.

Albums Celebrating Milestone 10th, 20th and 30th Anniversaries in 2019

Some of culture’s most beloved albums are seeing milestone anniversaries in 2019. Whether they were released 10, 20 or even 50 years ago, these albums have left a lasting impression on music and culture that can still be felt as many years later.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, is taking a look back at some of these influential albums celebrating milestone 10^th, 20^th and 30^th anniversaries in 2019. Here are just a few titles that have continued to leave their mark decades after their initial release.

Ten Years:

1.       Florence and the Machine, ‘Lungs’: Florence and the Machine burst out onto the rock scene in 2009 seemingly overnight with their debut album ‘Lungs.’ Single “Dog Days Are Over” became a runaway hit, nearly inescapable on rock and top 40 radio. The album paved the way for the band’s massive career, as well as for female-fronted radio rock bands in general.

Twenty Years:

1.       Britney Spears, ‘…Baby One More Time’: It’s hard to believe, but 2019 marks 20 years of Britney Spears’ reign on pop music. With the release of ‘…Baby One More Time’ in 1999, a then-16 year old Spears was thrust into superstardom, helping to usher in the explosion of bubblegum pop that had been starting to come up over the previous couple of years.

2.       Backstreet Boys, ‘Millennium’: Earning them their biggest hit to date with the single “I Want It That Way,” ‘Millennium’ furthered the Backstreet Boys’ stronghold on the boy band boom of the late 1990s-early 2000s. It remains one of the best-selling albums of all time.

3.       Santana, ‘Supernatural’: ‘Supernatural’ was a come-out-of-nowhere resurgence for Santana, who previously had his biggest success in the 1960s and 1970s, including a slot during the original Woodstock festival. But in 1999, the guitarist decided to add a little youth into his art, collaborating with Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas, Wyclef Jean, Dave Matthews, Lauryn Hill and more, which catapulted him back onto the charts and giving him his best-selling album ever. He made a similar album three years later with ‘Shamen,’ but even though it boasted the hit “Game of Love,” didn’t come anywhere near the same success.

Thirty Years:

1.       Beastie Boys, ‘Paul’s Boutique’: Though it didn’t produce the same kind of hits debut album ‘Licensed to Ill’ did, ‘Paul’s Boutique’ is still considered to be a highly influential release in hip-hop. The album reinvented the group, distancing itself from the party rock of its predecessor and laying down a formula for extended success. Its legendary usage of samples became part of the blueprint that would bring the hip-hop genre into the next decade.

2.       Pixies, ‘Doolittle’: Though debut full-length ‘Surfer Rosa’ introduced Pixies to the world, ‘Doolittle’ was arguably the album that put them on the map. The album’s mix of heavy guitars, pop-y vocals and dark subject matter has become iconic in indie rock and was a precursor to grunge’s heavier vibes.

From the 20^th anniversary of bubblegum pop’s heyday to some of rock and hip-hop’s most revered debuts and comeback’s, 2019 is seeing milestone anniversaries for some of music’s most beloved albums. Check out the list of iconic albums above and let us know what album anniversaries you’re excited for in the coming year.

Week in Review: New Songs / Music Videos You Need to Check Out (January 13-19, 2019)

A lot of new music is released over the course of any given week, so much so that it can be hard to keep track of it all. But now that the weekend is here, this is a great chance to take a look back at all the great new tracks you may have missed over the last seven days.

This week saw an abundance of great new music. The pop world saw new tracks from the likes of the Backstreet Boys and Ariana Grande. However, it was rock that really had some top notch song and video releases. The Killers came out with a political new track and Spike Lee-directed video. We got a video for 5 Seconds of Summer’s latest single. There were also some fantastic new tracks from Beartooth, The Maine, With Confidence, Yungblud, Bryan Adams and more.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for the best new songs and music videos of the week. Here are six that we think you will like as much as we do.

1.       Yungblud, “Loner”: Put together EMF and Blur and turn it up to 11 and you have Yungblud’s “Loner,” an energetic, 90’s Brit-pop- influenced track with a very big sound. The song hits you from the moment Dominic Harrison aggressively delivers the first lines. And when the instruments come in to support his distinct voice, you’re hooked. (video)

2.       5 Seconds of Summer, “Lie To Me”: 5 Seconds of Summer finally released a video for their single “Lie To Me” this week. Set at a demolition derby racetrack, the band pensively sings along with the self-deprecating song as frontman Luke Hemmings sits in the back seat of a car with two other cars hurtling toward him. Though dower, the song is still a catchy pop track that will definitely get stuck in your head again after you watch the video. (video)

3.       Beartooth, “You Never Know”: “You Never Know” is an intense song with an intense music video to go with it. The song does a good job of trying to capture what it feels like to have a panic attack, from the shortness of breath to the feelings of hopelessness and entrapment. It’s an image that’s made even more vivid in the video, which shows frontman Caleb Shomo situated in a hotel room in a very manic state, at times looking off with a sadistic smile and others struggling to not just strangle himself. (video)

4.       The Killers, “Land Of The Free”:  “Land Of The Free” is a rare overtly political statement from usually lighthearted Las Vegas band The Killers. The song goes into detail about immigration and racial profiling, questioning why “land of the free” doesn’t seem to mean “free for all.” Melodically and lyrically, the song brings in an element of U2 of Bruce Springsteen, but puts their own spin on things with the choral back-up. The video, directed by Spike Lee, visualizes the song’s points perfectly, splicing together footage of what is going on at the nation’s border and images of the people the political climate is affecting. (video)

5.       The Maine, “Numb Without You”: “Numb Without You” has a very catchy melody, stretching out the typical pop-punk chord structure into something more dramatic and slightly haunting. The performance of the song feels a bit “numb” and emotionless to me, though that could also be a choice the band made to give the song’s meaning another layer. (video)

6.       Backstreet Boys, “Breathe”: The Backstreet Boys do a very good job of showing off their amazingly beautiful five-part harmonies on their very minimalist new a cappella track “Breathe.” Not having an instrumental back-up enhances the melody’s already very calming vibe. (video)

Further Listening:

·         As It Is, “The Fire, The Dark” (video)

·         With Confidence,  “Icarus” (video)

·         Dear Seattle, “Daytime TV” (video)

·         Another Sky, “Apple Tree” (video)

·         Bryan Adams, “Shine A Light” (video)

A lot of great new songs and videos were released over the last week, especially when it came to rock music. If you’re looking to catch up this weekend, start by checking out some of our favorites above, then let us know what other new songs you loved in the comments below.

Vinyl Record Sales Continued to Break Records in 2018

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, takes a look at the Continued Rise of Vinyl in Nielsen’s end-of-year statistics

The numbers are in and 2018 was another record-breaking year for vinyl music sales.

According to Nielsen Music, sales of vinyl records climbed to new heights last year, moving 16.8 million units, a rise of nearly 15% over 2017, marking a new 13-year high for the format. That is also the largest number of vinyl units sold since Nielsen began keeping track in 1991. Vinyl now makes up 19.1% of all physical albums sold in the United States.

Markedly, it wasn’t new releases that drove US vinyl sales. Of the top 10 best-selling vinyl albums of the year, nine of them were catalog titles that came out more than five years ago. The 2014 ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1’ soundtrack came in at number one with approximately 84,000 units sold, followed by titles from Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles,  Prince, Bob Marley, Queen and Amy Winehouse, respectively. Panic! At The Disco’s ‘Pray for the Wicked,’ which came in at number 10 with approximately 59,000 units sold, was the only album released in the last year to reach the top 10.

Vinyl unit sales were much higher in general than they were over the last year or two. The top 10 vinyl albums of 2018 sold roughly 698,000 units, upwards of 100,000 units more than 2017’s roughly 579,000.  In 2018, 79 titles sold more than 20,000 units compared to 77 in 2017 and 58 in 2016. Similarly, 14 albums sold more than 50,000 units, almost double the eight that achieved that feat in 2017.

The report found that a majority of these sales were made at independent shops. Small retailers made up approximately 41.1% of total vinyl sales in 2018. That number exceeds online and mail order purchases, which accounted for 40.9%, as well as vinyl purchases made at chains and big box stores, which made up 10.5% and 3.9%, respectively. Nielson chalks this up to exclusive releases only available at indie shops, such as the ones released during Record Store Day. In 2018, Record Store Day’s main April event saw its largest turn out yet, coming out as the third largest vinyl sales week since Nielsen started keeping track.

Unfortunately, vinyl’s continued resurgence was one of the only bright spots in music sales this year. As a whole, album sales were down again, this time 17.7% from 2017, moving 141 million units. Of that number, 88 million were sold on a physical format, down 15.8%. And while CDs continue to make up the majority of physical sales, that number dropped 20.9% over the last year. Digital downloads also fared poorly, dropping 20.7%.

This is due in large part to streaming, which grew by 49% in 2018. In fact, streaming is probably the only reason music consumption showed an increase for the year. Drake’s ‘Scorpion’ was the most consumed album of the year as both the album and its tracks set records upon their release.

Despite another year of falling album sales, vinyl records have been able to maintain their impressive comeback. Bolstered by exclusive releases and the desire for classic rock albums, sales of the format continued to rise in 2018. With these trends increasing year over year for more than a decade, it doesn’t look like vinyl is going anywhere any time soon.

Week In Review: New Songs / Music Videos You Need to Check Out (January 6-12, 2019)

A lot of music gets released over the course of any given week. So much so that it can be hard to keep track of all of it as it comes out. However, with the weekend here, now is a great time to catch up on all the new songs you may have missed.

Following the break most artists take over the holidays, this week saw a big pick-up in new song releases. We got some big pop releases from Fifth Harmony alum Lauren Jauregui, ZAYN, Calvin Harris, Post Malone and Troye Sivan. In rock, Lamb of God’s Mark Morton released his collaboration with the late Chester Bennington. We also got some great new rock tracks from Gary Clark Jr., Keuning, Masked Intruder, Sharon Van Etten, Emarosa and many more.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve scoured the internet to find some of our favorite new songs and music videos of the week. Here are five that we think are worth checking out.

1.       Gary Clark Jr., “This Land”: Gary Clark Jr. gives listeners an impassioned history lesson in his latest single “This Land,” the title track from his upcoming album. Through a first-person account, the song tells the story of a black man’s experience in the segregated south with white neighbors who called him slurs and shouted threats. It’s an intense song with intense imagery in its accompanying video. If “This Is America” was the political anthem of 2018, “This Land” follows suit for 2019. [Warning: Actual slurs are said in the song] (video)

2.       Masked Intruder, “No Case”: Just because Masked Intruder is big on schtick doesn’t mean their music suffers. Their latest single “No Case” is proof. The song topically fits with their criminal personas without having to stretch for lyrical content or sacrifice catchiness. Also, the video looks exactly like their stage show, which I enjoy. (video)

3.       Keuning, “The Queen’s Finest”: Continuing with the 80’s new wave/synth pop theme he started with “Boat Accident,” The Killers guitarist Dave Keuning slows things down a bit on his latest single “The Queen’s Finest.” The song comes off as a downbeat, contemplative look at life and relationships. It’s both sad and optimistic at the same time, brought together under the umbrella of its beautiful melody. (video)

4.       Mark Morton feat. Chester Bennington, “Cross Off”: A year-and-a-half after Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington’s passing, his voice lives again in Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton’s latest single, “Cross Off.” The song is much more Lamb of God than Linkin Park, as is to be expected, but Bennington’s vocals rise to the challenge. Staying near the low end of his vocal range at near growl, he trades off between singing and screaming effortlessly. That’s not to discount Morton’s guitar work, which is absolutely amazing. He manages to take classically chunky metal riffs and turn them into a lush, full melody that leaves an impact on the listener. The two work harmoniously and the result is a great track for both artists’ legacies. (video)

5.       gnash, “be”: The simple acoustic guitar melody of gnash’s “be” is so tender and beautiful. The song reminds me a bit of the Plain White T’s “Hey There Delilah” in feel and structure (though much more melancholy) while his voice feels similar to that of Passenger. It’s a good song to sit out and vibe to. (video)

New music came back in full force this week with the release of a lot of great new songs and music videos. Check out some of our favorite releases of the week above and let us know what new songs you’ve been enjoying in 2019 so far in the comments below.

New Releases Coming Out in January 2019

The 2019 album release season is just getting started and there plenty of reasons to be excited. January alone is set to see some big albums hit shelves, including titles from the likes of the Backstreet Boys, Mike Posner, Maggie Rogers, Meghan Trainor, Say Anything, Papa Roach, Switchfoot and more.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, is taking a look at some of the albums set to hit shelves during the month of January. Here are six rock albums we think will be worth checking out this month.

1.       Taking Back Sunday, ‘Twenty’: Taking Back Sunday celebrates its 20^th anniversary in 2019. Alongside a handful of special shows, including a few last month where the band played their first three albums in their entirety, they also have a new retrospective coming out this week. ‘Twenty’ includes all the bands hits, as well as two new songs, one of which is the recently released single “All Ready To Go.” The track list celebrates everything about the band from beginning to now and the new songs give a peak at the sound we can look forward to in the future. (1/11)

2.       Papa Roach, ‘Who Do You Trust’: Papa Roach has been playing around with their sound a lot over the last few years. With 2017’s ‘Crooked Teeth,’ the addition of hip-hop elements felt new and a bit unexpected. ‘Who Do You Trust’ is said to continue this experimental nature. Having heard the few singles so far, the mix of heavy rock and outside genre influences seems much more integrated and less jarringly different than the last album. (1/18)

3.       Switchfoot, ‘Native Tongue’: Following a very short hiatus, Switchfoot is back with brand new music this year. So far, the singles from ‘Native Tongue’ have been fantastic pieces of alt-rock, expanding on the band’s penchant for hopeful and catchy tunes. If you haven’t heard them in a while, this might be the album to get you back in.  (1/18)

4.       Backstreet Boys, ‘DNA’: The Backstreet Boys had a banner year in 2018. Besides a successful Las Vegas residency, the band announced they were releasing a new album and had a number one hit with its first single, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” I have to admit, I liked 2013’s “In A World Like This” better than both “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” and “Chances,” which worries me for the album a bit, but their latest single “No Place” is a very heartwarming, country-inspired song that seems to draw more from what they have been doing lately. The other songs have grown on me though and I’m counting on BSB’s ability to make feel good music to come through. (1/25)

5.       The Dandy Warhols, ‘Why You So Crazy’: Celebrating 25 years together, alt-rockers The Dandy Warhols have a new album coming out this month. According to a press release posted on the band’s website, ‘Why You So Crazy’ finds the band at their most “freewheeling,” offering up the eclectic sound they’ve become known for. The band has already released two singles that couldn’t be more different, the dark, ethereal piano rocker “Forever” and the slower, more psych-pop-y “Be Alright.” (1/25)

6.       Say Anything, ‘Oliver Appropriate’: Last year, Say Anything frontman Max Bemis announced that the band would be going on hiatus following the release of one last album. That album, ‘Oliver Appropriate,’ comes out this month. According to that announcement, the album is based around the character of Oliver, who is struggling with life, love, sexuality and fear. Having heard a few of the pre-album release tracks, the sound has the same angry, passionate, intense pop-punk feel you would expect from the band. (1/25)

With a lot of strong releases hitting shelves this January alone, 2019 is already looking to be a great year for music. Check out some of our favorite upcoming albums above and let us know what albums your looking forward to this month in the comments below.
