Artist: Mild Seven International
Artist: The Mild Mannered Janitors
Artist: Britney Spears
More than any other single artist, Britney Spears was the driving force behind the return of teen pop in the late '90s. The blockbuster success of the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys certainly paved the way for her own commercial breakthrough, but Spears didn't just become a star -- she was a bona fide pop phenomenon. Not only did she sell... [+] Read More
Artist: Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash was one of the most imposing and influential figures in post-World War II country music. With his deep, resonant baritone and spare, percussive guitar, he had a basic, distinctive sound. Cash didn't sound like Nashville, nor did he sound like honky tonk or rock & roll. He created his own subgenre, falling halfway between the blunt... [+] Read More

Scalor Blue is heavy metal instrumentals. The style of the music varies from some mild Hendrix to a mild Slayer, Priest, Maiden, etc. The band is one member... Michael Homan as guitarist, bassist and drum tracks. [+] Read More
Artist: PepGirlz
A New York, all-female quartet playing '90s punk with ingredients from riot grrl, metal, and a mild psychedelic eclecticism thrown in. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: The Small Goods
From Melbourne, Australia, the Small Goods play indie guitar pop with jangle pop, power pop, and mild psychedelic influences, stressing their three-part vocal harmonies. Their debut album, Listen to the Radio, was released in November 2003. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: John Dunn
Not to be confused with the more mild-mannered bassist named John Dunn out of Detroit, this one is an Atlanta resident who leads his own Wild World of John Dunn as well as performing with rockabilly combo Truckadelic. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Kenny Rogers
It took several tries before Kenny Rogers became a star. As a member of the First Edition (and the New Christy Minstrels before that), he shared in some million-sellers, among them "Reuben James" and "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town," an excellent Mel Tillis song about a disabled veteran. But superstardom lay ahead for this Texan, and it... [+] Read More
Artist: Carol Lynn Townes
Dance/disco vocalist Carol Lynn Townes had a pair of mild hits in the mid-'80s that were featured in soundtracks. Both "99 1/2" and "Believe in the Beat" were part of the music for Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, respectively. Neither was a rousing hit, although "99 1/2" made the R&B Top 30. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Derek B.
British rapper Derek B elicited some mild response from his debut release, Bullet From a Gun, on Profile. He displayed decent rapping skills and the beats were competent, if not awesome or outstanding. It did not make a substantial impact on the hip-hop or R&B front, however, and also failed to register on the pop scene. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Rick Harris
While sometimes confused with mild artist of the same name, one of whom produced Jewel's album of poetry, this Rick Harris is actually the illustrator of the group Crucified's self-titled album, released in 1992 and reissued four years later.
Song titles such as "The Pit" and "A Guy In the Suit and the Pope" must have provided plenty of artistic... [+] Read More
Artist: Lyons & Malone
Although this duo are sometimes thought of as a British act, according to the liner notes to the box set The Rubble Collection, Volumes 11-20, they were Canadian. This box includes both sides of their sole single, "Doctor Gentle"/"She's Alright," originally issued in 1967. Both tracks are period rock songs with mild mod and psychedelic touches... [+] Read More
Artist: The Upsidedown
Portland-based neo-psychedelic outfit the Upsidedown -- singer/guitarist J-sun Atoms, lead guitarist Rob Scrivner, guitarist Matt Moore, bassist Tristan Evans, keyboardist Brett Kron, and drummer B. Mild -- formed in mid-2003 from the remnants of local shoegazer cult favorites the Bella Low. The group issued its Tony Lash-produced debut LP,... [+] Read More
Artist: Blessed by a Broken Heart
Blessed By a Broken Heart are a mildly schizophrenic sextet hailing from Quebec, where they first started spicing their predominantly metalcore songwriting with tiny dashes of punk, new wave, and hair metal in 2002. Comprised of members Hugh (vocals), Robbie (guitar and vocals), Simon (guitar and keyboards), Nathan (guitar), Tyler (bass), and... [+] Read More
Artist: Harold Smith
Not to be confused with prolific songwriters such as Harold Beasley Smith of "Sheik of Araby" fame, this Harold Smith scored a co-writing credit for the song portrait of "Skid Row" cut by the mildly demonic Jerry Lee Lewis. While confusion is circulating, it should be noted that this is not the same "Skid Row" recorded by Merle Haggard -- one of... [+] Read More
Artist: L'Trimm
Miami-based female rappers Tigra and Bunny D were 18 years old when they scored a mild hit, "Cars With the Boom," in 1988. For a brief period their CD, Grab It!, stayed on the charts after Atlantic leased it from Time-X, but they were unable to get another single to maintain the momentum, and kiddie pop gradually lost its audience. ~ Ron Wynn,...

Artist: H.W.A.
If BWP (Bitches With Problems) weren't hip-hop's most controversial female group of the early '90s, then HWA (Hoes With Attitudes) certainly qualified. Openly flaunting a loose (to put it mildly) sexual attitude and standing vulgarity to vulgarity with any male rapper, HWA failed to generate much sales action, but certainly got plenty of... [+] Read More
Artist: Shabazz
The New York group Shabazz featured vocalist Paul Stewart, drummer Marc Poussaint, keyboardist Wesley Walker, and guitarist Dennis Brown. They recorded with Cosit, a local label, in 1986 and had a mild international hit with "Unified." They did two other songs, then recorded briefly for RCA in 1990. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou is known primarily (and deservedly) as a poet and best-selling author, delivering the poem "In the Pulse of the Morning" as part of President Bill Clinton's inauguration ceremonies. She is far less known for her early career as a singer; she herself seldom refers to this facet of her background. In 1957, at the age of 27, she made a... [+] Read More
Artist: Neon Pearl
The Neon Pearl trio consisted of Peter Dunton (vocals/guitar/keyboards/drums), Bernard Jinks (bass/backing vocals), and Nick Spenser (guitar/harmonium/keyboards). In 1967 they recorded the material issued on 1967 Recordings, which is fair if somber period British psychedelia in its hazy riffs, mild guitar distortions, and vocal harmonies, though... [+] Read More
Artist: Justin Trouble
New York City band that had a mildly successful stint on that city's club circuit (breaking into the legendary Max's Kansas City in the early '80s) and released one unheralded album on the independent Casino label. Songwriter and lead guitarist Justin Trouble had an affinity for '50s rockabilly, but he also merged Clash-derived aggression and... [+] Read More
