With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over the top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards. Roth wasn't blessed with great technique, unlike Eddie, but he had a flair for showmanship that was derived as much from lounge performers as Robert Plant. Together, they made Van Halen into the most popular American rock & roll band of the late '70s and early '80s, and in the process set the template for hard rock and heavy metal for the '80s.

Kanye Omari West born June 8, 1977, is an American rapper, singer, and record producer. West first rose to fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, where he eventually achieved recognition for his work on Jay-Zs album The Blueprint, as well as hit singles for musical artists including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His style of production originally used pitched-up vocal samples from soul songs incorporated with his own drums and instruments. However, subsequent productions saw him broadening his musical palette and expressing influences encompassing 70s R&B, baroque pop, trip hop, arena rock, folk, alternative, electronica, synth-pop, and classical music.

Disc One of 1993's two-disc THE DONNA SUMMER ANTHOLOGY covers much of the same ground as the previous hits anthology ONTHE RADIO, but it has the extra advantage of a second disc that hits all the highlights of Summer's post-Casablanca label career. From the prescient synth-pop of 1980's "The Wanderer" through 1983's comeback hit "She Works Hard for the Money", to 1989's Stock, Aitken and Waterman production "This Time I Know It's for Real" and beyond, this second disc proves that Summer became a more versatile and compelling artist after her period of greatest commercial success.
However,the songs from her late '70s chart heyday still sound remarkable even now. The electronic minimalism of "I Feel Love" and the frank eroticism of "Love to Love You Baby" still raise an eyebrow, and "Hot Stuff" remains an all-time dancefloorclassic.
