Album Quotes - page 24

I've been performing since I was very little, about three years old. I was inspired at first by the MTV artists of the '80s and started putting on 'shows' in the apartment, most of them set to Michael Jackson's 'Bad' album. In my mind, there was a full lighting rig behind me... but it was just a couch. (Erich Bergen)
For my first album I wanted to make a record that would be intimate, deeply personal, and honest. View quote
James McCartney
The 'Maybe Memories' album I remember having and listening until it broke. I remember it skipped one day; two or three songs wouldn't play on my CD player because I listened to it so much. View quote
Kellin Quinn
I never do any album to beat it. I do it to extend it. View quote
Mary J. Blige
I like 'Bewitched' off the first album because it's one of the happiest songs I've ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs. View quote
Malcolm Wilson
What happens with Mad Men, its like an Elvis Costello album; Ill watch it, and then I immediately have to watch it again. AMC will play it back-to-back. I have a tendency to yell at it when my wifes not around because if she catches me yelling at Mad Men, then it gets weird. View quote
Michael Weatherly
If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs. View quote
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. View quote
Mike Gordon
I actually have heard of acts who only do their new album, and don't do their hits. I've never been in that mind set. View quote
Mike Love
For each album, I let the music that I love at that point in my life be my guide. View quote
Miranda Lambert
I wouldn't mind doing Broadway, but I am definitely trying to get a album out there first. (Naima Adedapo)
As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people. View quote
Nuno Bettencourt
I like to call it 'album making' because everybody hears the word scrapbooking and thinks, 'All the glue and the glitter - I don't have time for that!' View quote
Nancy O'Dell
Obviously with every new album we make, we always have to believe in it and feel we've gone in the right direction. View quote
Nick Rhodes
I think pop culture is the greatest subject matter out there - 'Other People's Lives,' as we wrote about on the last Duran Duran album. Most ideas for great songs come from real situations, something your friend said to you the night before, the girl that just left, or something traumatic in your life. View quote
Nick Rhodes
I grew up in the era of the concept album. What I do now is pick up on singles, and they are their own complete stories; you don't necessarily have to hear the rest of the album because I don't think albums are created like that anymore. They get songs from all over the place. View quote
Nile Rodgers
I design all my sets. With my tour and my album artwork, I co-design that with people who are better at drawing than me. But I've got a good imagination. I went to art school so I understand how to communicate my ideas. View quote
Paloma Faith
I don't care at all about the mainstream; I don't care about popularity contests; I don't care about who's got the biggest-selling album; and I don't care about glossy production. View quote
Phil Anselmo
The first album was a very successful record. It made me very visible and it's an immediate association, but I don't do that anymore. Now I'm true to myself as an artist again. I'm more vocally oriented. View quote
Phoebe Snow
I'd like to do a pop album with an R and B influence. I definitely want to have those big ballads with the uptempo hits as well. View quote
Pia Toscano
For this album I was determined to do it my way. Take my time. I'm gonna win, lose or draw on my own. (Pras Michel)
Then the album created a tremendous furor and got me kicked off Christian television for two months, and then restored after they settled down and listened to the music and realized there was nothing wrong with it. View quote
Pat Boone
I think the best post-breakup album is The Strokes' first album. It's just fun. View quote
Patrick Carney
In 1999, I just came out of putting out the song 'Vivrant Thing' and 'Breathe and Stop' off the 'Amplified' album. Clive Davis signed me to Arista. View quote

Predating the Internet and predating videos, you had an active imagination. You would hear sounds and then get mental pictures of what these sounds felt like to you. It engaged you and made you more invested in it. It made you want to get tickets to the show, buy the album, put the poster on the wall. Now it's sensory overload. View quote
