This Bostonian outfit burst upon the “New Wave” scene with the release of their 1st album in 1978. World domination duly ensued. Frontman and primary composer/vocalist Ric Ocasek may not have had the market cornered in the Enigmatic department, but certainly he was an upper-echelon representative.
Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and the enigmatic Michael Nesmith burst upon the scene in 1966, and took the world by storm with their irrepressible/cheerful/wacky magical powers.
Songwriters for the group included the likes of Carole King, Neil Diamond, and John Stewart. So there.
Damn straight. Run-D.M.C, N.W.A., Eric B and Rakim, Jay-Z, Ahmad, Psy, and the Eminem. And Natalie P.
Über-magical moments featuring Dave Loggins, The Hudson Brothers, The Guess Who, Terry Jacks, Paper Lace, Rick Derringer, The Hues Corporation, Redbone, William DeVaughn, David Essex, Golden Earring, and Blue Magic.

The {London} Suede.
This iconic band rocketed onto the scene in the early 90s and bestowed upon us many sublime treasures. Vocalist Brett Anderson and (until his departure) guitarist Bernard Butler both are/were utterly transcendent talents.
This English supergroup, consisting of the great Paul Rodgers (vocals), Mick Ralphs (lead guitar), Simon Kirke (drums), and bassist Boz Burrell, attained world domination in the 1970s. Managed by Peter Grant (also of Led Zep fame), Rodgers and the lads not only enjoyed massive hit after massive hit, but also enthralled millions with their live shows. The godlike Rodgers had few peers as a rock vocalist.
The truly great Canadian singer/songwriter, the “Godfather of Grunge”, and master of delicate, deeply personal folk, Mr. Neil Young stands unquestionably as a titan of countless genres of music. Since his early days with Buffalo Springfield, and throughout his later peregrinations both with and without Crazy Horse, Young has embodied the restless spirit of a true creator. The above represents but a smattering of indelible performances by this singular artist.
One of the very greatest songwriters of our era, Leonard Cohen is not only an exemplary denizen of Canada, but is clearly one of the toppest-notch humanoid bipeds of all time. And the man knew how to deliver the goods, when performing his brilliant, poetic, powerful compositions.
Lyric excerpt, from The Future:
Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It’s lonely here
There’s no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That’s an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that’s left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
I’ve seen the future, brother:
It is murder
Three nonpareil artists, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker, created a remarkable synergy and unstoppable kinetic energy that has yet to be surpassed to this day.
