The Best Of Times (album)
''The Best of Times'' is an album by the New York City hardcore punk band Murphy's Law, released in 1991. Production The album was produced by Fishbone's John "Norwood" and Phillip "Fish" Fisher. "Ebony and Ivory" is a cover of the Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder song. Critical reception '' The Washington Post'' opined that the "eclecticism does provide for more variegation than is common on hardcore punk albums, but the band is still most convincing on such high-speed, relatively unadorned rockers as Freaktown' and the title song." The '' Chicago Tribune'' noted that "a hearty horn section punctuates and adds a wallop to the guitar assault." The ''Deseret News'' noted the "muscular riff-rock approach."

The Best Of Times (song)
"The Best of Times" is a song by American rock band Styx, released as the first single from their tenth album '' Paradise Theatre''.

DeYoung, however, still performs the song regularly on his solo tours. Lyrics and music The title "The Best of Times" is somewhat ironic since the lyrics often state that these are the worst of times. But the singer says that he can get consolation, since the chorus states "The best of times are when I’m alone with you.” Allmusic critic Eduardo Rivadavia described the song as having a "deliberate, marching rhythm."

Comfort complained, "When we first took it to NBC it was in an hour format. But Brandon Tartikoff BC's 34-year-old "Child of TV" President of Entertainmentdidn't understand it. So then we took it took it to CBS and they immediately saw it as a half-hour comedy; maybe do it with three cameras on tape before a live audience.
