Artist: Radiohead
Radiohead was one of the few alternative bands of the early '90s to draw heavily from the grandiose arena rock that characterized U2's early albums. But the band internalized that epic sweep, turning it inside out to tell tortured, twisted tales of angst and alienation. Vocalist Thom Yorke's pained lyrics were brought to life by the group's...

Artist: Lloyd
Urban crooner Lloyd topped BET's play list singing a steamy duet with Ashanti, but he got his first spins on the anything but steamy Radio Disney. Born January 3, 1986, in New Orleans but raised in Atlanta, Lloyd joined N-Toon -- the teen pop group put together by Klymaxx's Joyce Irby -- in 1996 and appeared on their 2000 album, Toon Time,...

Started making music as a hobby back in 2000. Now i'm trying to actually do something with it.
I have too many influences to list. [+] Read More
Artist: Gilles Floro
One of the star crooners of the "zouk love" style, Floro produces hit after hit. Every album contains chartbusters, not only the ones listed below. ~ Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Wayne Bedrosian
Piano. Another in the list of musicians seeking a fertile merger between jazz and classical and finding a muddled middle ground instead. Bedrosian's issued two discs in this vein for Perpetua. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Michelle Branch
Just three years after Michelle Branch first picked up a guitar at the age of 14, she was signed to Maverick Records with an album in stores. Branch's debut, The Spirit Room, was produced by John Shanks (Melissa Etheridge, Chris Isaak) and issued in August of 2001, spawning the leadoff hit single/video "Everywhere." Although she lists such... [+] Read More
Artist: Marilyn Manson
Love him or hate him, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" Marilyn Manson was indisputably among the most notorious and controversial entertainers of the 1990s. Celebrated by supporters as a crusader for free speech and denounced by detractors as little more than a poor man's Alice Cooper, Manson was the latest in a long line of shock... [+] Read More
Artist: Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-conscious narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notions that in order to perform, a singer had to have a conventionally good voice,... [+] Read More
Artist: Weird Al Yankovic
The foremost song parodist of the MTV era, "Weird Al" Yankovic carried the torch of musical humor more proudly and more successfully than any performer since Allan Sherman. In the world of novelty records -- a genre noted for its extensive back catalog of flashes-in-the-pan and one-hit wonders -- Yankovic was king, scoring smash after smash over... [+] Read More
Artist: Billy More
As long as the beat is snappy, fans of this artist don't seem to care whether his name is listed as Billy Moore or Billy More. Moreover, once these dancefloor denizens start raving, they most likely would have trouble telling single from double, be it letters from the alphabet or bales of hay that are being squinted at. The list of More or Moore... [+] Read More
Artist: Francky Vincent
Probably the best way to get acquainted with this master of suggestive lyrics is through the recent anthology on Declic Records, although the other one listed may still be in print. Vincent's album jackets and music are often downright hilarious, although the clever wordplay will be lost on non-Creole-speaking listeners. The reason his records... [+] Read More
Artist: Shaggy
Emerging in the early '90s, Shaggy was the biggest crossover success in dancehall reggae. Not only did he become the genre's most commercially potent artist in the international market, he was also more than just a typical flash in the pan, managing to sustain a career over the course of several highly popular albums. Perhaps in part because he... [+] Read More
Artist: Ray J
Arriving on the heels of big sister/R&B star Brandy, rapper Ray J parlayed his success on television into a music career at the age of 14. Born in McComb, MS, Ray J's family moved to Carson, CA, when he was still a toddler, landing him in the center of the entertainment industry. He started auditioning for commercials at age eight, scoring... [+] Read More
Artist: Little Son Jackson
Little Son Jackson (sometimes listed as Lil' Son Jackson) was a moniker used by bluesman Melvin Jackson. A throwback blues player who recorded well into the 1960s, Jackson's records were usually attributed to Melvin "Lil' Son" Jackson. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Ernie Johnson
The list of bluesmen who have recorded named Ernie Johnson historically begins with this pianist, who cut sides in the '30s behind singer Mary Butler. He is the not same person as either the bassist or the R&B singer of the same name. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: James Crawford
Violinist James Crawford, who recorded with artists such as the Grand Rapids Symphony and David Hall, should not be confused with others with the same name who have recording credits -- a list that includes a doo wop singer, a graphic designer, and a sound engineer. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Oshio

Artist: Danna & Clement
Though both artists have released satisfying solo albums (see the separate listings), these Canadian electronic musicians first became widely known as a team. Their music together is an organic synthesis of sounds from nature and softly unfolding electronic ambiences. ~ Linda Kohanov, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Fal Frett
One of the best of the contemporary jazz bands from the French Antilles, a small list that also includes artists like Lucien Joly, Caraibes Jazz Ensemble, and the West Indies Jazz Band. ~ Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Protector
Among the top of the list of underrated calypsonians, Protector has yet to release a bad record. He delivers plenty of good party soca but is also very skilled at social commentary (local and global) and has several times made it to the Monarchy finals. Any Protector album is recommended. ~ Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: Scrunter
Another calypsonian who presents a problem in deciding which of his records to list. He's so consistently good that all are recommended. He often presents social commentary, but his party music is what really stands out. ~ Gene Scaramuzzo, All Music Guide [+] Read More
