Conceived as a British answer to the then-hot New Kids on the Block, Take That were a massive success in the UK, Europe, Asia … almost everywhere in the world except the elusive US market. By 1995, though, the group was starting to be overshadowed by the likes of Blur and Oasis, and the five lads (by now in their twenties) were rapidly growing tired of the whole thing. Williams, who had been long becoming known as the "bad boy" of the group, was the first to leave, in the summer of 1995. In retribution, his name and likeness were removed from all Take That promotional materials, and his face was even left off the U.S. release of the group's third album, Nobody Else, just as they were finally having a U.S. hit with "Back For Good." Williams spent much of 1995 partying with Oasis and bragging that his solo material would reflect their signature Brit-pop sound; however, when his first single finally appeared late in 1996, it was a cover of George Michael's "Freedom '90." The single bombed, but the follow-up, 1997's "Old Before I Die," was more in the promised Oasis vein, and was a smash. The follow-up album, 1997's Life Thru a Lens, was a UK smash, as was 1998's I've Been Expecting You, but neither were released in the U.S. In respect of Williams' massive UK success, though, a U.S.-only compilation of highlights from the first two solo albums, The Ego Has Landed, was released in 1999. His third solo album, Sing When You're Winning, followed internationally in 2000.     Robbie Williams Rock DJ LiquidAudio,WinMedia Pop An amalgam of every '80s British pop hit you can think of, there's not a lot of rock -- or originality -- here, but it’s still pretty catchy.
