Known best for their 1984 anthem, “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” and the 1990 ballad, “Wind of Change,” the German rockers the Scorpions have sold over 22 million records, making them one of the most successful rock bands to ever come out of Europe. Formed in the early 1970’s, the Scorpions first big album came in 1982 release Blackout, which contained the hit “No One Like You.” But as popular as Blackout was, it was the band’s follow-up, Love at First Sting, that made them superstars boasting the single “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” It would eventually achieve double-platinum status. Their tenth album, Savage Amusement, was released in 1988. Next, in 1990, the album Crazy World was released and became the Scorpions’ biggest-selling record to date, drawing on the strength of “Wind of Change.” In 1995, the band released another live album, Live Bites and Pure Instinct. Eye II Eye, an album in which the band experimented with pop-techno melodies, was released in the summer of 1999. Moment of Glory, featuring the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and several revamped versions of Scorpions cult classics, was released in fall 2000. The Scorpions released Unbreakable in 2004, followed by Humanity: Hour 1 in 2007. In 2010, they released Sting in the Tail. The following year, while still on tour, the band released Comeblack, a greatest-hits album of sorts featuring the German rockers re-recording some of their most well-known songs, as well as covers by T. Rex, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. In 2015, the Scorpions released Return to Forever, The continue to rock the world, yes, like a hurricane!
