Starz – Greatest Hits Live

n the mid-seventies the airwaves were in serious danger of being overtaken by light AM hits. A few bands waged war on this trend. Among the leaders of this revolution were Starz, a musical army of soldiers carrying an arsenal of roaring guitars, driving drums, thunderous bass and powerful vocals. Over the next several years Starz toured the world with all the rock heavyweights from Kiss to Aerosmith. Their Violation album was voted one of the Top 100 rock albums in history by Kerrang Magazine. Undoubtedly, Starz’ studio albums are classic, but to fully understand the band all it takes is one listen to Greatest Hits Live.
