...founded eleven years earlier as Karol Cardinal Wojtyla. When he sang along spontaneously with the Sacrosong singers, the Pope's voice was captured on a master tape that MCA obtained. Rock stations last week were playing the Pope in the company of the Bee Gees and Led Zeppelin. John Paul will get nothing from the sales; his share of the take will go to charities. The prophecy after one week of sales of the $9.98 disc: the Pope has a growing following, but The Who can rest easy...

He first heard a dual-guitar harmony on an old Zep cut, How Many More Times, and expanded the Boston sound from there. But Scholz slips his music through so many acoustical refinements that the result is one part raw energy, another part applied science. "I was really annoyed about the first album," Scholz told TIME's Jeff Melvoin. "My primary love of the sounds of rock...
