Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carlos Gonzalez

We had opportunities to make an album before but they were trying to change what we were doing, ... We wanted to record what we love and I think once people hear the music, theyre going to like it.

Lou Gramm

We had two albums out and we had 4-5 hits off of those two albums. That was pretty much unheard of at the time since the Beatles.

Alvin Lee

We wanted to make something that represented what we were actually doing, ... The first album was OK, but that was almost three and a half years ago, and we more or less did that on our own. But with Arhoolie, we were able to go into a bigger studio -- it was a lot more professional -- and we did the whole recording in one day, because we already knew what we were going to do. And we had a good engineer that had a nice system, and he let us feel free to do what we do, and I think that's the best way to record a group of guys like us.

Damian Kulash

We wanted to make an album that sounds like our band, and not a heady, self-conscious studio project. Everyone tells us rock and roll is a shadow of itself--a sad old milk cow smiling at the farmer every morning. We still see a bucking bull smashing around the stable.

Mike Gordon

We have been trying to play a lot of different kinds of music, and probably the next album will go back more towards the direction where you couldn't classify each song as a certain kind of music. This album you can.

Randy Bachman

Those albums are so important to me because, for the first time, I was making my own music, paying for it, finding strengths in it, and going through the process of finding the right music for the record.

Odette Annable

Rihanna is always on my playlist. I think she pumps you up and gets the day going. I also love - and I know this doesn't sound like a workout album - the Lumineers, lately, and Taylor Swift.

Prince Royce

As a Latin musician, I understand that there are so many places where people don't know who I am. My albums never came out in Australia or Japan.

Petra Haden

When I was recording my first solo album 'Imaginaryland,' I was listening to a lot of movie scores.

Without a doubt Mariah Carey's huge comeback was the big music story of 2005 and continues into this year. With more than five million album copies sold to date and numerous awards already won, the results of our GRAMMY poll reflect the public's love for Mariah. We'll have to wait and see if the music industry will give her the credit that her fans already have.

We played two cuts but nothing happened. That album was so far from what she was. (Adult/contemporary) radio picked it up faster than we could.

James Iha

Well, we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.

We had never been there before. We had fans coming up asking us to sign our autographs, and they handed us Brazilian album covers we had never seen before. They said we've been waiting for you since 1974!

Mandy Moore

I wasn't to make an album that's going to make people say 'WOW! I thought she was just some stupid little teen pop girl who didn't know what was going on' I want to prove people wrong.

Roger Taylor

I would like to see us finish a (studio) album in this coming year. I'd say it will be forthcoming. It's a crime to waste an instrument as incredible as Paul's voice when it's available to you.

Natalie Cole

I would never do an album with 10 songs like 'Jump Start' on it. I'll only go so far to please fans.

David Coverdale

Most live albums aren't live, parts of them are, but I've always felt it was because bands hadn't attended to writing songs enough.

The album was deemed eligible, we listened to it and we decided it could not fail to move anyone who heard it. That's what a Mercury record should be all about.

Jada Smith

The album takes you on a real roller-coaster ride. It's very different from anything out there right now. It's who Wicked Wisdom is.

The album reflects three or four specific events in his life.

Kelis

The album 'Kelis Was Here' sucked the life out of me, and so I went off and studied to be a Cordon Bleu chef. What's great about food is that it's less about who you know and what you look like, and more about if you're any good.

The album is kind of hard to compare to our previous work. Our stuff in the past has been very rock 'n' roll and punk pop. We definitely elaborated on what people would expect from us. The new songs are very new and different. We definitely kept the roots so you see flavors of that.

Alex Ebert

The album is a thing that you can hang out with between shows. I think that it's really nice to give people something they can enjoy in a private situation or walking around, just as the soundtrack of their lives.

Tim Burgess

That was nothing to do with us. A mate of ours runs a record label and he was trying to upstage for a laugh. I refused to look up, so he didn't put me off. I want our album to come out next March, so that's when it's going to come out.

James Mangold

That's the mythic album where you see his face, sweaty, looking dangerous, and he's there singing to murderers and robbers and sharing a good time with them. As a kid, how could you not be interested?

Zedd

I've always dreamed of having an album. The problem is that it's just very difficult to make an album nowadays because through technology, music shifts so fast, especially electronic music. Once you make five songs, the first one you did is already old and you wished you would have put it out right away. So that's kind of the difficult part.

David Sanborn

Well, I really enjoyed the process of making the last album so much that it's like kind of not wanting the party to end in a way.

David Sanborn

Well, I had been doing albums that were a little more pop/commercial and it was really only reflecting one side of my playing and I felt the need to express another side of myself.

We put an album out, and we were fairly popular in Florida, and I had a couple of other bands in college. But I was never terribly skilled.

Rivers Cuomo

Rock and Roll Over' was the first Kiss album I heard, but I was totally oblivious to their whole image and the makeup and all that. I was so out of touch with the wider world.

Johnny Rivers

I think my favorite album was probably Realization.

Jonathan Davis

We went through a lot of drama this year with Head leaving, and getting off our label and making the album by ourselves. We funded the whole album and didn't know what we were going to do with it. By him leaving, we took tragic and turned it into an opportunity for us to create and be inspired.

Brian Eno

'Two Voices,' from my album with Peter Schwalm, is an intact dream-poem. I awoke one night with an image of a piece of paper and all the words of the poem written on it, so I just blundered down to the kitchen table and 'copied it out.'
