Kill 'Em All is American thrash metal band Metallica's debut album, released on July 25, 1983 on Megaforce Records. It was recorded in only two weeks on a small budget. Only 1500 copies were initially printed.
Stone Temple Pilots built a fan base in San Diego strip clubs in order to steer clear of the Los Angeles corporate music scene and build up their technique and following in the clubs. In 1992, Stone Temple Pilots signed with Atlantic Records. Their first album, Core, was released in September 1992, producing several big hits including "Sex Type Thing," "Plush," and "Creep."
In spite of often hostile reviews from critics, Stone Temple Pilots continued to gain fans. Bringing their music to the people, they toured for four weeks opening for Rage Against the Machine, then played a forty-date tour supporting heavy metal band Megadeth. 1993 brought continued success on the road, with the band headlining a two-and-a-half-month U.S. tour. Two sold-out shows in New York's Roseland Ballroom featured Stone Temple Pilots in full KISS make-up (causing some critics to dismiss the band as glam-rockers), in honor of their childhood heroes. Around this time, Stone Temple Pilots also performed at benefits for pro-choice organizations. Also in 1993, the band filmed an episode of MTV Unplugged featuring the songs "Crackerman," "Plush," "Creep," "Sex Type Thing," "Sin," "Wicked Garden," and the previously unreleased "Big Empty."
The loyalty of the band's fans and the animosity of its critics came to a head in January 1994, when the band was simultaneously voted Best New Band by Rolling Stone's readers and Worst New Band by the magazine's music critics. The tie was broken the next month, when Stone Temple Pilots won Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist and Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist at the American Music Awards. On March 1, 1994, at the Grammy Award ceremonies, "Plush" won the band its first Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal. Songs: 1. "Dead & Bloated" (Weiland, R. DeLeo) -- 5:10 2. "Sex Type Thing" (Weiland, D. DeLeo, Kretz) -- 3:36 3. "Wicked Garden" (Weiland, R. DeLeo, D. DeLeo) -- 4:05 4. "No Memory" (D. DeLeo) -- 1:20 5. "Sin" (Weiland, R. DeLeo) -- 6:05 6. "Naked Sunday" (Weiland, R. DeLeo, D. DeLeo, Kretz) -- 3:50 7. "Creep" (Weiland, R. DeLeo) -- 5:33 8. "Piece of Pie" (Weiland, R. DeLeo) -- 5:24 9. "Plush" (Weiland, R. DeLeo, Kretz) -- 5:13 10.

Conspiracy of One is the sixth studio album by American punk rock/alternative band The Offspring, released on November 14, 2000. It is the follow-up to the successful Americana.
The Offspring have come out in support of file sharing, claiming it does not hurt sales. This album was originally planned to be released directly on their website before retail, until their label threatened to sue.
To date, Conspiracy of One remains the band's final studio album with the "classic" line-up, as drummer Ron Welty left the band in early 2003 to pursue his career with Steady Ground. All songs written by The Offspring
