Crucial to the creation of this album was Daltrey's meeting with guitarist/songwriter Gerard McMahon, since Rocks In The Head, which credits "Musical Direction and Production" to McMahon, also features him as primary backup musician and writer or co-writer of ten out of the 11 tracks. Daltrey himself is co-credited on seven, a new high for him, but it's hard not to feel that he is acting primarily as McMahon's mouthpiece. McMahon updates Daltrey for the '90s, constructing hard-edged tracks based on harsh electric or acoustic guitar textures, suggesting everyone from The Who to The Police. The result is an album that does nothing to diminish Daltrey's reputation.

The Best of Rockers & Ballads is an adequate overview of Roger Daltrey's solo offerings of the 1970s, taking the best work from his rather inconsistent career as a musician outside of the Who. Although his albums didn't achieve the prosperity that he and the rest of his fans might have expected, some of his material fit in quite nicely with the singer/songwriter formula of the decade. The 17 tracks are taken mainly from his self-titled debut album, 1975's Ride a Rock Horse, and 1977's One of the Boys. And, as this collection illustrates, most of Daltrey's better songs are ones that have been written by other artists. Murray Head's "Say It Ain't So Joe" and Russ Ballard's "Free Me" are two of his most passionate efforts, while both of the Leo Sayer-penned tracks, "It's a Hard Life" and "Giving It All Away," spotlight Daltrey's vocal strength. "Without Your Love" is the most beautiful ballad of the set, and represents his only Top 40 hit, going to number 20 in 1980. Average sounding rockers like "Walking the Dog" and "One of the Boys" are energetic enough, but they don't instill the enthusiasm that Roger Daltrey is capable of. Other compilations that are available offer up most of these songs, but add his more solid post-1980 contributions from Under a Raging Moon and a few of the better cuts from the disastrous Can't Wait to See the Movie and the Parting Should Be Painless album. Even so, Best of Rockers & Ballads is more of an entertaining listen (and more of a convenience) than embarking on Daltrey's solo albums.

Joel Schumacher's 1987 film The Lost Boys capitalized on a temporary lull in horror movies in the late '80s and created a heavily music-video-influenced vampire homage with enough campy humor, heavy metal costumes, and hunky stars to put a fresh spin on the genre. An amusing piece of eye candy spiked by a few creepy moments, the movie, in typical '80s style, relies heavily on the soundtrack to bolster its emotional core. The soundtrack, like the film, works great on the surface – but don't go much deeper. A mix of covers and bombastic '80s pop originals, the songs work best when they concentrate on the horror factor. Echo & the Bunnymen turn in an excellent cover of the Doors' "People Are Strange" that has a bouncier, more melodic touch than the original. Jimmy Barnes and INXS' "Good Times" is an energetic rocker used to personify the party-hardy SoCal atmosphere of the film. The strongest song is the movie's theme, "Cry Little Sister," a goth-influenced midtempo ballad.

Wilko Johnson, legendary guitarist with Dr Feelgood, and Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock giants The Who are to release a joint album GOING BACK HOME on the world famous Chess label which has been resurrected specifically for this record. The album features 11 tracks, ten of which are Wilko originals from both his Dr Feelgood days and solo years, whilst the sole cover on the album is a version of Bob Dylan's HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED classic 'Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window'. The album also includes the track 'Turned 21' which has never been properly released or performed live. A deluxe edition of Going Back Home was released at the end of 2014. The bonus disc contains five studio outtakes: three are Wilko-fronted versions of album cuts, there's a radio edit of the title track, then the unreleased "Muskrat." Then, there are six live cuts from the Wilko Johnson Band from February 2014, then another seven live cuts with Daltrey and Johnson, all dating from early 2014, all proving what a dynamic pairing this duo was.

McVicar is the soundtrack to the film McVicar and the fourth solo studio album by Roger Daltrey, the lead vocalist for The Who. The film, a biopic of the English bank robber John McVicar, was produced by Daltrey and also featured him in the starring role as John McVicar himself. Because all of the then-members of The Who played on the album, it is often considered to be an unrecognized Who album although there was no participation by the band in the songwriting.
