History Music / America

''America'' is a soft-rock band, originally formed in London, but based out of California for virtually all of their career, who had their greatest success in TheSeventies. While never critical favorites, they had a handful of hits which are fondly remembered by fans. The band's vintage lineup consisted of Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek, and Dewey Bunnell. Peek left the group in 1977 and died in 2011, but Beckley and Bunnell continue to tour and record as America to this day.

* TextlessAlbumCover: The aforementioned ''History: America's Greatest Hits'' had one of these in its original vinyl release (albeit with a title sticker on the shrink wrap).

* AlbumTitleDrop: A subversion—while ''Your Move'' has a standard title track, the title is also dropped in the video to "The Border".

* GreatestHitsAlbum: ''History'', featuring cover art by Creator/PhilHartman (who was an artist before he became a comedian and actor).

* TitleTrack: ''Hat Trick'' and ''Your Move'' are straight examples. Three other albums are minor aversions. ''Hideaway'' has tracks titled "Hideaway Part I" and "Hideaway Part II". The standard version of ''Here & Now'' averts this, but the version sold at Best Buy includes "Here & Now" as a bonus track. Finally, one of the tracks on ''Back Pages'' is Music/BobDylan's "My Back Pages".
