<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Starting out as Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1967 London, Marc Bolan and Steve Peregrin Took played an odd psychedelic folk. It wasn’t very successful. In 1970, Took left the band and the name was shortened to T. Rex. Bolan recruited percussionist Mickey Finn, bassist Steve Currie, and drummer Bill Legend and developed a new sound called Glam Rock. Many date the very beginning of glam rock to Marc Bolan’s March 1971 appearance on Top of the Pops playing Hot Love. The new sound took off and created T. Rextasy across Britain. They considered it the new Beatlemania. In September of ’71, Electric Warrior, one of the great 70s albums, was released and cemented the band’s place in the rock pantheon. Tragically, Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash in 1977 two weeks from his 30</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">th birthday.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What would funk have been without Sly Stone? Sly and the Family Stone came together in San Francisco in 1966 and meshed together rock, soul, and psychedelia to create a very original new funk music. Their songs extolling the virtues of peace and love, celebrating everyday people, taking us higher where everybody is a star, telling us to stand and sing a simple song, coming from this integrated band of male and female, white and black musicians making beautiful harmony together was an inspiration for their era. The members of the actual Stone family were Sly Stone on organ, Freddie Stone on guitar, and Rose Stone on keys. The other members were drummer Gregg Errico, sax-man Jerry Martini, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, and the phenomenal bass player Larry Graham. They had a great string of hits through the late sixties and got even funkier as they traveled through the seventies. Unfortunately, Sly’s drug problems caught up with him and led to the dissolution of the band by 1975. Their influence remains and can still be heard in popular music today.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the days before rock and roll was born, the biggest musical genre in America was swing. The big bands had people dancing all over the country in the 30s and 40s. In the early 30s, Bob Wills and Milton Brown created something a little different with a band called the Light Crust Doughboys. The fusion of jazz with country music became what was called Western Swing. In 1933, Bob left the Doughboys and formed the Texas Playboys in Waco. They became the dominant practitioners of the genre and had multiple hits over the next three decades. Bob Wills played the fiddle and led the band calling out the players by name and interjecting those wonderful falsetto proclamations. Ah-ha! Tommy Duncan was a fantastic singer. Leon McAuliffe was one of the finest steel guitar players of all time. Al Stricklin played hot piano. Bob made sure to keep his band filled with the best players of the day. There is very little that makes me happier than listening to the great sounds that these fellas produced. Like Waylon Jennings said, “Bob Wills is still the king.” Ah-ha Yess!!!</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buddy Holly, in less than two years time, wrote and recorded some of rock’s most influential songs, set the standard for what a rock and roll band would become, and left a legacy that would influence important rock artists from Dylan to the Beatles to the Stones to Springsteen. He did all this before his tragic death in a plane crash when he was only 22 years old. Buddy and the Crickets; guitarist Niki Sullivan, bassist Joe B. Mauldin, and drummer Jerry Allison released their first single in 1957 and quickly took the world by storm. One wonders what directions rock would have gone had he lived to continue to influence it. His loss is arguably the greatest in all of musical history.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard are that little ol’ band from Texas called ZZ Top. Coming together in Houston back in 1969, these three guys have been playing together for over 40 years and are still touring and recording today. They are instantly recognizable whether you are talking about their look or their sound. The bearded power trio’s devotion to that Southern blues-boogie sound has led them to eight Top 40 hits and a 2004 induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I know only two of the three wear beards, but the third one is named Beard so I’ll call them a bearded trio. They have sold more than 50 million albums across the globe over the years and they ain’t done yet.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There have been many great guitarists through the history of rock. The pre-eminence of Jimi Hendrix as the greatest of them all has been the prevalent position since his explosive rise. In the ensuing 40+ years, many others have risen to greatness, but only one man has reached the same stratosphere of excellence. The tragedy is that, like Hendrix, his light was extinguished far too early. That man was Stevie Ray Vaughan, the second greatest guitarist who ever lived. With his band Double Trouble; bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton, he recorded four albums from 1983 to 1989 that redefined what blues was for an entirely new generation. The magic that flowed through his fingers and his obvious passion for those sounds was incredibly inspirational. Losing him when we did, just when his star was rising, remains one of the most devastating tragedies to befall the world of music.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From a humble beginning playing a pizza parlor in Menlo Park they went on to become one of the most successful touring bands of all time. These guys ultimately set the model for what a jam band is. The band was made up of drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, bassist Phil Lesh, and singer/guitarists Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia. There were several keyboardists over the years including Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, Keith Godchaux, and Brent Mydland. The songs were classic, but they were never played quite the same due to the improvisational nature of the band. Going to a Dead show you were never quite sure what you might hear and neither were the members of the band. It was a fresh experience every time and it inspired some of the most devoted fans that any band has ever had.</span></span><br />

Got two reasons why I cry<br />
away each lonely night<br />
First one's named sweet Anne Marie<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">and she's my heart's delight<br />
Second one is prison, baby<br />
the sheriff's on my trail<br />
If he catches up with me<br />
I'll spend my life in jail<br />
<br />
I set out running but I take my time<br />
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine<br />
If I get home before daylight<br />
I just might get some sleep tonight</span></span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Founder of the seminal Austin-based psychedelic band The 13<sup>th</sup> Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson had a nice hit and gained some fame with “You’re Gonna Miss Me”, but in 1969 he was arrested for the possession of a single joint and was threatened with a ten year prison sentence. Erickson plead insanity, and he actually was a diagnosed schizophrenic. He spent the next three years in Texas state hospitals enduring electro-shock therapy. In 1974, two years after being released, he formed Bleib Alien, the band that would become Roky Erickson & the Aliens. He then began to write and record some of the most haunting and beautiful music I’ve ever heard. Tales of zombies and ghosts, alligators and two headed dogs; he had tapped into some strange place and it was brilliant.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donald Fagen and Walter Becker first met at Bard College in 1967 and right away began playing together with one band or another. After a few years of trying to make it as songwriters, they put together a group of crack studio musicians like Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, Denny Dias, Jim Hodder, and David Palmer to record their first album “Can’t Buy a Thrill”. It produced a couple of hit singles and a good deal of interest in the band and their jazz-influenced arrangements. Though there was a good deal of shuffling of the backing players through the 70s, the essence of the band remained the partnership between Fagen and Becker. Walter Becker has been one of rock’s most original guitarists creating some of the more interesting and intricate guitar solos of the 70s. Donald Fagen is a tremendous lyricist telling stories that drip with irony and he’s a hell of a good keyboard player as well. The partnership has lasted for over 40 years. They are still touring and recording to this day having sold more than 30 million albums through their career and getting inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 2001.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second best Aussie band ever came out of Sydney in the late 70s and found global success in the early 80s as a part of the new wave explosion. The hit 1987 album Kick produced four top ten hits. It was September 14<sup>th</sup>, 1988 when they played Birmingham, Alabama. Michael was wearing the famous leather jacket that he wore in the “Need You Tonight” video. He had taken it off and laid it on an amp on the side of the stage. As he continued singing his song, some dude out of the crowd jumped up onstage, grabbed the jacket, and leapt back into the crowd. I don’t know what happened to that dude but I’ll always remember that. They were definitely among my favorite bands of my high school years. Michael Hutchence was one of the all-time great frontmen. Kirk Pengilly’s sax work was also memorable. Garry Gary Beers on bass, Andrew Farriss on keys, Tim Farris on guitar, and Jon Farris on drums made up the rest of the band. Excellent players, all. I particularly enjoyed Jon’s drumming. Michael is greatly missed.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fleetwood Mac is an odd case. They are a band that found success in two very different incarnations; first as a late 60s British blues band and later as a mid 70s California pop/rock group. Forming in London in 1967, singers and guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, drummer Mick Fleetwood, and bassist John McVie became one of the top blues bands in Britain, having hits with Black Magic Woman (before Santana) and Albatross. As the 70s went on, the band lost Peter Green to schizophrenia and Jeremy Spencer to a religious cult. Then in 1975, Mick, John and John’s wife Christine found themselves in Southern California looking for a new direction. They found a duo called Buckingham Nicks. The addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks turned Fleetwood Mac into one of the top acts of the 70s. Rumours is still one of the biggest selling albums ever released.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The original version of Black Magic Woman. Peter Green was a great guitarist.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Great version of Rhiannon, my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. The addition of Buckingham and Nicks made the bnd hugely successful. The fact that Stevie Nicks is one of the most beautiful women ever born was probably helpful too. and she looks great in this video.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That cool California sound that came out of our radios in the 70s was thanks to the Eagles. Probably the most popular American recording act of that decade, they started out in 1971 as the back-up band for a Linda Rondstadt album. Drummer Don Henley, bassist Randy Meisner, and guitarists Bernie Leadon and Glenn Frey popularized a mellow country-rock sound that defined an era. Guitarist Don Felder joined up after the third album On the Border, the incredible Joe Walsh replaced Bernie Leadon in 1975, and Timothy B. Schmit replaced Randy Meisner in 1977. They recorded six platinum albums before breaking up in 1980 with 10 top ten hits and 5 number ones.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They could be considered a solo act, but I’m treating Eels as a group. It is all essentially the work of E aka Mark Oliver Everett. Back in 1998, I came across a copy of Electro-Shock Blues. The soul-bearing work written in the wake of his sister’s suicide and the death of his mother from cancer was filled with personal songs dealing with childhood, loss, and madness. It is an incredible work of art. Daisies of the Galaxy came out in 2000 and was a fantastic collection of pop gems. I got to see him play live at the Crocodile a few years ago and it was amazing. This guy E should be a huge star. Sometimes the world doesn’t make sense.

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bringing a Latin influence to the psychedelic scene by the San Francisco Bay in the late 60s, Santana was not just a showcase for the virtuosic skills of guitarist Carlos Santana. In the incarnation that recorded their first three albums, he was backed by drummer Michael Shrieve, percussionists Michael Carabello and Jose Areas, bassist David Brown, and keyboardist Gregg Rolie. Guitarist Neal Schon who would go on to fame with Journey joined up for their third album. Carlos Santana is one of the greatest guitarists in rock, capable of producing so distinctive a sound that he is recognizable from the first note. They made it all the way to the hall of fame playing a Latin/Rock hybrid that sounded unlike any band that came before.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Buzzcocks were a first wave British punk band out of Manchester that went through various line-ups, but the one constant was singer-songwriter-guitarist Pete Shelley. Their songs were a bit more melodic and poppish than most of the bands in that punk scene and they experimented with that sound to great results. From the 1977 explosion of Orgasm Addict to the often-covered classic Ever Fallen in Love to the incredible compilation album Singles Going Steady, the Buzzcocks have cemented their place in the list of punk icons.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just can’t get over the fact that Madness is considered a one hit wonder in the United States. In the UK, they had sixteen top ten singles in the twenty years between 1979 and 1999. London’s masters of ska, they could definitely contend with the B-52s for being the world’s greatest party band. Just look at these great videos they made. They should have had multiple hits on these shores all through the early eighties. The personalities of each of the band members really came through in those videos. If you ask me, there was a wasted opportunity for a great Saturday Morning Cartoon, just like the Beatles had in the sixties and the Jackson Five in the seventies.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drummer Mick Woodmansey, bassist Trevor Bolder, and guitarist Mick Ronson played with David Bowie from 1971 to 1973 on three classic albums; Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and Aladdin Sane. For those three albums, they were Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars. Woodmansey & Ronson also played on 1970’s The Man Who Sold the World and Ronson & Bolder played on 1973’s Pin Ups. Along with Marc Bolan’s T. Rex, David Bowie as Ziggy set the standard for the glam rock genre of the 70s. For me, this was the greatest period of Bowie’s legendary career. The songs were fantastic, Mick Ronson played fabulous guitar, and everything fell into place perfectly.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In most lists of great songwriting teams you’ll find Lennon & McCartney, Jagger & Richards, Morrissey & Marr, or Strummer & Jones, but that list wouldn’t be complete without Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook. Up the Junction, Pulling Mussels (From the Shell), Tempted, and Black Coffee in Bed are just the start of all the great songs that have come from these guys. Starting in London in 1975, they found great success in England, but only had a few hits here in the States. I also have to mention the fantastic keyboardists that have played with Squeeze; founding member Jools Holland until 1980, followed by Paul Carrack who debuted with the band for their classic 1981 album East Side Story. Difford and Tilbrook are still touring. I hope they come to Seattle.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fantastic first single. Take Me I'm Yours. Because dreams are made of this. Forever there'll be a heaven in your kiss.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favorite Squeeze song. In fact, one of my favorite songs of all time by anybody.<br />
<br />
Behind the chalet, my holiday's complete.<br />
And I feel like William Tell, Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet.<br />
Pulling Mussels from a shell.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not a single or a hit, but still one of their best. I love this song.<br />
<br />
In the corner with his book and tissue<br />
All he can do is pretend to miss you,<br />
Closes his eyes as he sees her body<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">Pulls funny faces and that's his hobby.<br />
On the other hand love ain't a happy word<br />
On the other hand love ain't a piece of skirt,<br />
Makes for something special in your football shirt<br />
In quintessence.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Probably their most well known song here in the States.<br />
<br />
Tempted by the fruit of another<br />
Tempted but the truth is discovered<br />
What's been going on<br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart met in a restaurant in London in 1975. The fusion of Stewart, a prodigiously talented producer, songwriter, and musician with Lennox, one of the most spectacular vocalists of her generation led to some of the most haunting and beautiful songs of the 80s. Their first MTV splash came with the Sweet Dreams video and Annie Lennox’s androgynous look. My favorite was always Here Comes the Rain Again. It was a great string of hits throughout the 80s.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the bright lights of British psychedelia; Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, Chris Wood, and Jim Capaldi were Traffic. Coming out of Birmingham in 1967, Mr. Fantasy was a landmark album for the group. Steve Winwood was a fantastic singer at the time. The band broke up and he went on to do Blind Faith, but when that ended Traffic re-formed and released another landmark with John Barleycorn. Great songs, great players.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who would have ever imagined what a great rock instrument the flute could be? Combine Ian Anderson’s mad performance and erudite lyrics with his virtuosic flautistry and throw in the powerful guitar of Martin Barre and you have Jethro Tull, one of the great progressive rock bands of the 70s. Starting in the late 60s with great songs like “New Day Yesterday”, they went on to create the 1971 classic Aqualung, one of the finest collections of songs released in the 1970s. I got to see them play live at Bumbershoot one year and they have definitely still got it.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The godfathers of goth, Bauhaus formed in 1978 in Northampton, England. The brothers David J and Kevin Haskins formed a strong rhythm section with David J especially being one of the best bass players of his era. They had been playing since childhood with guitarist Daniel Ash. Ash is an incredibly inventive guitarist. These three later became Love and Rockets and had several hits on their own. The band was much stronger though with the addition of singer Peter Murphy. His image influenced generations of Goths. I was lucky enough to see them play live at the Paramount here in Seattle during their 1998 reunion tour.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Classic! This is the song that put Bauhaus and the whole goth genre on the map. Really excellent video here as well.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know they only recorded one album, but that was a hell of a good album. They were one of the great super-groups that formed in the late 60s. Ric Grech was previously the bass player for the prog-rock group Family. Ginger Baker was the drummer for Cream and is rightly considered one of the greatest drummers in all of rock. Eric Clapton had played guitar with the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, and Cream and until the emergence of Hendrix was widely touted as the greatest guitarist in the world. Steve Winwood played keyboards and sang incredibly well, fronting the Spencer Davis Group at the tender age of fourteen and then going on to form Traffic. Their self-titled album contained fantastic songs, impressive musicianship (including what I consider some of the finest guitar work of Clapton’s career) and left you wondering what might have been had they continued to record together.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since they only recorded the one album, I'm posting the whole thing. Except for the last song, but that was just a fifteen minute drum solo, so you won't be missing much. Winwood sings beautifully here.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">In the early 70s, a quartet came out of Sweden and became one of the most successful acts in the history of popular music. Agnetha F</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">ä</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">ltskog, Bj</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">ö</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">rn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad have sold over 375 million records. They produced some of the catchiest pop tunes of the decade. Songs with such lasting appeal that they comprised the soundtrack of an incredibly popular movie musical released almost thirty years after their break up. I used to consider my love of Abba a guilty pleasure, but I don’t feel guilty anymore. Unquestionably, Abba was one of the great bands of our time. Good enough that one of their songs replaced the wedding march when my own wife walked down the aisle at our nuptials fourteen years ago.</span></span><br />

</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I still remember that night clearly. A Sunday night in 1988, I was sitting up late watching 120 Minutes on MTV when they showed the video for a song called Birthday by a new band that came from Iceland. This beautiful elf-like woman opened her mouth and produced a sound unlike any I had ever heard and I was hooked. To this day, I consider Birthday to be one of the greatest songs ever recorded. I went out and bought their album “Life’s Too Good” and fell in love with the Sugarcubes. </span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">Björk, the gorgeous elf, has proven to be one of the greatest female voices of all time. She has been immensely successful as a solo artist, but I still prefer the music she recorded with this band. Einar, the other singer, does take a little getting used to, but he adds just the right element of quirkiness to the combo. Here’s to the only band from Iceland on the list.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still one of the greatest things I've ever heard.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just because it is such a magnificently beautiful song, here is Birthday again.
