Scorpions, formed in Germany in 1969 by Rudolf Schenker, was one of the
most successful heavy-metal bands of all times.
Lonesome Crow (1972) introduced the eccentric vocals of
Klaus Meine and the powerful, no-frills guitar playing of Michael Schenker.
After replacing Schenker with Uli Jon Roth, the Scorpions proceeded to record
Fly to The Rainbow (1974), with Speedy's Coming,
In Trance (1975),
Virgin Killer (1976), with Catch Your Train,
Taken by Force (1977) and the double live album
Tokyo Tapes (1978),
which established them as the reigning heavy-metal band in Europe.
In 1978 Roth left Scorpions and was replaced by Matthias Jabs, and
Lovedrive (1979) seemed to benefit from the change.
Their pop-metal hybrid matured with
Animal Magnetism (1980), containing
Dynamite and Another Piece Of Meat,
Blackout (1982), containing No One Like You,
Love at First Sting (1984), featuring their masterpiece
Rock You Like a Hurricane plus
Bad Boys Running Wild and the archetypical ballad Still Loving You,
Savage Amusement (1988), featuring the power-ballad
Rhythm of Love and Believe In Love.
Crazy World (1990) was the crowning achievements of the band's style,
thanks to Send Me an Angel, Wind of Change and
Tease Me Please Me.
The band rested during the 1990s, releasing only
Face the Heat (1993) and Pure Instinct (1996), which are vastly
inferior to their previous output. Eye To Eye (1999) and
Moment of Glory (2000) marked a return to a more prolific pace.
