Steppenwolf discography

(Redirected from Live in London (Steppenwolf album))

The discography of Steppenwolf, a Canadian-American Hard rock band, consists of 13 studio albums, 14 compilation albums, 5 live albums, 41 singles, and three music videos. The band was formed in 1967 after some members of The Sparrows split.[1] Group members included John Kay, Michael Monarch, Goldy McJohn, Rushton Moreve and Jerry Edmonton. Their first album, Steppenwolf, was released in 1968, which sold well and reached 6 on Billboard.[2] That same year, Steppenwolf covered "The Pusher" (previously released by Hoyt Axton).[3] The song was later used in Easy Rider.[4] The album's most successful single was "Born to Be Wild", which reached No. 2 on the Billboard.[5] At the time of the release of second album, The Second, the band's bassist Rushton Moreve had a dispute with band leader John Kay, and was eventually replaced with Nick St. Nicholas.[6] The album's single was "Magic Carpet Ride" which reached number 3 on Billboard.[7]

The band's third album, At Your Birthday Party, reached number 7 on the Billboard.[8] The album's single "Rock Me" reached number 10 on Billboard; no single went that high in the United States after that, although they continued to do well on the Canadian singles chart.[9] Steppenwolf released three more albums by 1972 that had no commercial success and eventually led to the band's dissolution.[10] The band re-formed in 1974 with a new lineup, including John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Goldy McJohn, George Biondo, and Bobby Cochran.[11] Steppenwolf released three albums during this period, the most successful being "Slow Flux".[2] After three albums, Steppenwolf was dissolved in 1976.[12] The group was re-formed in 1980 and broke up for the last time in 2018. Steppenwolf's newest studio album was Rise & Shine, released in 1990.[13]
