Not the longest single vinyl album
Todd Rundgren's Initiation (1975) is past 68 minutes long - in its LP incarnation. You could argue that stylistically it's a pop rather than rock record, but that's a matter of definition. There are even longer classical single LP's by the way; Stockhausen's choral piece Stimmung in its 1970 original recording runs to 72:48.Strausszek (talk) 16:04, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Hysteria (Def Leppard album)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hysteria (Def Leppard album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "allmusic": From Mirrorball: Live & More:  From Shania Twain:  From Fine Young Cannibals: Allmusic peaks From John Bonham: [ John Bonham Biography]. Allmusic From Michael Jackson:  From Pyromania (album):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:12, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Seriously now
Who keeps changing all the genres?? This is glam metal! Heck if it was my way it'd just be pop rock but it's generally regarded as glam metal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.33.59 (talk) 23:25, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It should probably have a few labels listed instead of just one. Glam metal is mostly accurate, but does not capture the poppy, polished "arena" sound of this album and might, by itself, imply more hair metal than we hear. The article uses "pop metal" and, while that might not be a recognized term, listing pop rock and hard rock along with glam metal might present a better description of the album's sound.

Removed The "Christgau's Consumer Guide" Review
I can accept valid reviews for music, or movies, etc. However this particular review for this album is a head scratcher. From reading what this person wrote, it has all the appearances that his ire is not aimed at the music itself, more so at the technology at the time? He's upset that the songs were all placed on a single disc, as though he doesn't understand the technology? He writes "Stuck with an hour of material after four years (after all, could twelve songs be any shorter?)." I know we don't allow first person research, but come on, I own more than 500 cds and in the guitar rock genre from the late 80's, the one hour long long album, 12 songs, was basically the standard at that time. Christgau makes only one short comment "impeccable pop music of no discernible content" but then spends 10 times as much space (literally, on the basis of a long paragraph) devoted to trashing the technology at the time. Was this actually the CD, or was this the guy's stereo that caused him all the issues? Let me know your thoughts, even beyond the lacking review itself, the cheap goofy webpage and having never heard of this guy before, not sure why it was ever included on this album to begin with.RTShadow (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
