It made my career. I mean I'd had a few charted songs before, but when Urban Cowboy came out, hell, I got my first gold record, my first gold album, got a triple platinum album, a platinum album... It catapulted my career to what it has been for the last 35 years.
Johnny Lee

People don’t buy CDs a lot anymore, so I feel like the feeling is lost of looking forward to the next song when listening to a CD. I know that mini albums usually have about five songs and just four without the instrumental, but I wanted my album to be like a gift to people who buy it.
Jung Hye-rim
Apink

All the songs on the first album were like skeletons of how we really played them. It was just a combination of not having any studio experience and having to do everything so fast. I also think that studios are, by nature, limiting. You cannot get the sound of five big amplifiers on a little piece of tape.
Robby Krieger
The Doors
-
When I wrote the first album I had never played live before, and I'd never been on tour. So that was really just me and my guitar.
Amy Macdonald

'In Utero' was the first time I'd made an album that reached into the dark side. I remember the conflict and the uncertainty. I remember all those things when I hear 'Pennyroyal Tea.'
Dave Grohl
Nirvana

One thing with Backstreet Boys, we never try to rush out an album. We always try to make quality music that can stand the test of time.
Howard Dwaine Dorough
The Backstreet Boys

Dancing to the first album was more of a constant flow, the music was similarly paced, with much the same tempo all the way through the set. Myself and Keith tended to alternate on stage, and the performance was much more dance-based than theatrical. With the second album, Jilted, things got harder and the stage show became a lot more full-on. Each one of us had developed into identifiable personality on stage, and with that cam the theatrics, Keith in a strait-jacket, in the glass box, or the ball. Then we realised that we didn't need that, that we have a great live show without those dramatic extras. For example, Keith is now a compelling performer in his own right, he doesn't need the tricks.
Leeroy Thornhill
The Prodigy

This is positively not an album to play while you do a doctorate thesis on "Bergson, Webern and Charles the Vicious, Paradox or Ambiguity?"

-
I write songs; I record them. When I get enough, and it seems like a coherent piece, I call it an album.
Timothy B. Schmit
The Eagles
-
Typically, every 14 to 16 months, we're putting a new album out. To be honest, I wish it was slower.

There's a song called 'All We'd Ever Need,' which is actually the first song that the three of us wrote together on our first album, and when we wrote that song I didn't have any real experience to pull from.
Hillary Scott
Lady Antebellum
-
That's the choice they allow you - now the outlet is being a pop star, which is really what I'm saying on the album in 'Working class hero'. As I told Rolling Stone, it's the same people who have the power, the class system didn't change one little bit.
John Lennon
The Beatles
