Bobby is the third studio album by American R&B singer Bobby Brown, released in 1992 by MCA Records.
The album continued the R&B/new-jack sound of its successful predecessor, Don't Be Cruel. Babyface, L.A. Reid, and Daryl Simmons returned as songwriters and producers, however Brown also worked with new producers, most notably Teddy Riley, who was considered a pioneer of the new jack swing genre. Riley wrote and produced the majority of the album. Brown also had more creative input and control of the album, becoming an executive producer and co-writing seven of the album's thirteen tracks.
Bobby peaked at #2 on the US Billboard 200 album chart, and spawned two Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles: "Humpin' Around" (#3) and "Good Enough" (#7). The album also peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and reached #2 in Australia.
The album included Brown's first duet with wife Whitney Houston on "Something in Common", which was also released as a single.

! is an album by The Dismemberment Plan. It was released on October 2, 1995, on DeSoto Records. The band's original drummer, Steve Cummings, played on this album but left shortly after its release.
The following people were involved in the making of !:
Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 1⁄3 rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.
An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

Bobby also contributed to the lyrics for Winner's title track "Empty" along with Song Min-ho and iKON's leader B.I.
The original Bobby was a free online tool, written by Josh Krieger and provided by the Centre for Applied Special Technology (CAST) used to validate websites for WAI and Section 508 compliance. Launched in 1995, it became well known for the usage of the Bobby Approved icon that website authors could use to indicate they have successfully passed the Bobby online test.
The CAST tool was officially closed on May 1, 2005. However, the Bobby name lives on in Watchfire Corporation's Watchfire Bobby program. Watchfire provided the same free service that CAST did with Bobby in their Watchfire WebXACT tool. Watchfire's current offering, now part of an IBM suite described below, tests pages of web content for quality, accessibility and privacy issues.
The free tool was officially closed by the owners, IBM, on February 1, 2008. The software is now available as part of IBM's Rational Policy Tester Accessibility Edition.
Currently, the Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (WAVE) provides this free service at wave.webaim.org.
