Discography
This page details Richard's work as a recording artist. There will be a separate page for his credits as a writer/producer for other people.
Richard Marx - 1987
Debut which spawned such hits as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Endless Summer Nights" and "Hold On to the Nights."
Repeat Offender - 1989
Sophomore release that included "Satisfied," and the song with which Richard will be eternally associated, "Right Here Waiting."
Rush Street - 1991
This one had two of my very favorites: "Keep Coming Back" and "Hazard."
Paid Vacation - 1993
Although it's hard to choose, I think this album is my favorite (especially the import that includes an impressive cover of Billy Joel's "Miami 2017"). One of his biggest ballads, "Now and Forever" (which is where I got the name for this place) came from here.
Flesh And Bone - 1997
Featuring "Until I Find You Again," "You Never Take Me Dancing," and a favorite of mine, "Touch of Heaven."
Greatest Hits - 1997
Hits from the first five albums, plus "Angel's Lullaby," previously only released on a Pediatric AIDS charity album called For Our Children, Too.
Five Live (EP) - 1997
I actually haven't heard this one, as it's pretty rare. Live recordings of: "Now and Forever," "Hazard," "Right Here Waiting," "Endless Summer Nights" and "Don't Mean Nothing."
Days In Avalon - 2000
My second favorite Richard Marx album (sometimes my top favorite). The import features his version of "This I Promise You," which he wrote and produced for *NSYNC. The title track is amazing, as are "High," "Almost Everything," "Someone Special"... most of it, really.
My Own Best Enemy - 2004
I would say this one works really well as an album. The songs fit together like a playlist. Even with that said, "One Thing Left" is still a standout. One of my top favorites.
Emotional Remains - 2008
"Through My Veins" is all you really need to know. That song is EPIC! As an added bonus, I'll mention "Take You Back" which features Kenny Loggins on backing vocals. Loggins also produced Richard's lead vocals, which is pretty awesome.
Duo (Richard Marx/Matt Scannell) - 2008
Matt Scannell is the lead singer of a band called Vertical Horizon. This album features "unplugged" versions of Richard and Matt's respective hits, as well as songs written together. It's good stuff!
Sundown - 2008
Richard did a rare thing on this album: multiple covers. Among them are, "And I Love Her" (Beatles), "Ordinary Love" (Sade), and "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (Roberta Flack). All of which are gorgeous, of course.
Stories To Tell - 2010
This album is quite unique. There are two discs, both featuring Richard's hits recorded in new ways. The first disc is stripped down more than the second. Also, the song "When You Loved Me" is added as a bonus, which is amazing! Fair warning: it WILL get stuck in your head.
Duo Live (with Matt Scannell)- 2010
I'm going to level with you, I didn't know this album existed until I was compiling this list. I have to find it.
Christmas Spirit - 2012
I LOVE this one. His duet with Kenny Loggins on "Let There Be Peace on Earth" alone makes it worth a listen. There's a good mix of original and traditional Holiday songs, which keeps things interesting.
A Night Out With Friends (Live CD/DVD) - 2012
The highlights for me personally are "This I Promise You" with J.C. Chasez, and "To Where You Are" with Hugh Jackman (the latter is only on the DVD, not the album, unfortunately).
