'10' is the 9th studio album, and 10th overall release by the Rock band Enuff Z'Nuff. By fans, it is sometimes seen as the poppier counterpart to their harder sounding Paraphernalia record, as both albums were recorded and released during a similar time frame. The album cover art for '10' is a direct reference to the band's debut album, released a decade earlier. [3] While the original U.S. edition of the album included a video for the single "There Goes My Heart" in QuickTime format, [4] '10' was released first in Japan through the Pony Canyon label. The band also toured Japan in 2000 in support of the CD, which peaked at #60 on the Japanese music charts. [5] The song "There Goes My Heart" was later featured in a trailer for the 2008 film The Promotion . [6]

Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United States in the early 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the United Kingdom and in the United States. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style which drew heavily on the genres of blues, rhythm and blues, and from country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical styles. Musically, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass, drums, and one or more singers. Usually, rock is song-based music usually with a 4/4 time signature using a verse–chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political.

<i>Paraphernalia</i> (album) album by Enuff Znuff

<i>Seven</i> (Enuff Znuff album) album by Enuff ZNuff

Seven is the 7th studio album by American rock band Enuff Z'Nuff, which was originally released in Japan as ‘Brothers’ under the band name "Chip & Donnie" in 1994. Seven was initially intended to form one half of a double-album for the Japanese market, paired with the record that would eventually become the album Tweaked. The sessions were split into two separate discs, with the pop sounding ‘Brothers’ LP getting re-branded as an Enuff Z'nuff album in 1997 for its stateside release.

<i>Peach Fuzz</i> (album) album by Enuff ZNuff

Peach Fuzz is the sixth studio album from Enuff Z'Nuff. Like the band's 1994 release 1985, this album is viewed more as an archival release than a new album since it features mostly previously recorded material. For example, the tracks "Let It Go" and "Kitty" were initially b-sides to the U.K. edition of the Strength single "Mother's Eyes," while the song "Happy Holiday" was first intended for the 1992 film Home Alone 2. Many of the remaining tracks on Peach Fuzz were recorded during the making of the 1993 album Animals With Human Intelligence, but were likely excluded from that release due to their poppier sounding nature.

Enuff Z'Nuff currently has 14 studio albums, 5 live albums, and 3 compilations for a total of 22 official albums. Their highest charting singles were "Fly High Michelle" and "New Thing" from their 1989 self-titled release. Enuff Z'Nuff's latest studio release, 'Diamond Boy,' was released on Frontiers Records this August.

<i>Clowns Lounge</i> album by Enuff Znuff

Clowns Lounge is the thirteenth studio album by Enuff Z'Nuff.

The songs mostly feature singer Donnie Vie and bassist Chip Z'Nuff along with guitarist Derek Frigo and drummer Vikki Foxx.
