Brainiac    USA

 

 indie-rock band from Ohio

 

On a late May morning in 1997,

a mangled lamppost surrounded

by the wreckage of a 1977

forest-green Mercedes-Benz

stood near Lawn and North Main Streets

in Dayton, Ohio.

 

Tim Taylor,

the 28-year-old leader of Brainiac,

the city’s swiftly ascending synth-punk band,

had been driving home alone

from a local nightclub at about 3:25 a.m.

when his car spun out of control,

crashed and exploded in flames.
 

 

Brainiac

— often stylized as 3RA1N1AC —

had recently toured with Beck,

played Lollapalooza and recorded

with Kim Deal, John Peel

and Steve Albini.

 

The group was known

for its hyper-energetic live performances,

where Taylor writhed across the stage.

 

According to the band’s

surviving members

— the bassist Juan Monasterio,

the guitarist John Schmersal

and the drummer Tyler Trent —

major labels,

including Interscope and Elektra,

were wooing the group

with seven-figure offers.

 

But when Taylor,

the son of the cellist Linda Taylor

and the jazz guitarist Terry Taylor,

died in the accident, so did Brainiac

 and the opportunities awaiting the band.

The Elephant 6 Recording Company    USA    1980s-2010s

 

loosely defined musical collective

from the United States.

 

Notable bands associated

with the collective include

the Apples in Stereo, Beulah,

Circulatory System, Elf Power, the Minders,

Neutral Milk Hotel, of Montreal,

and the Olivia Tremor Control.

 

Although bands in Elephant 6

explore many different genres,

they have a shared interest

in psychedelic pop of the 1960s,

with particular influence from bands

such as the Beach Boys,

the Beatles, and the Zombies.

 

Their music sometimes features

intentionally low fidelity production

and experimental recording techniques.

 

The collective started in Ruston, Louisiana

in the late 1980s.

Screaming Trees    USA

 

(Mark Lanegan) met the founding members

of Screaming Trees in high school,

and the band released

its first album in 1986,

with an aesthetic that married

flannel shirts and long hair

with angsty songs and rasping guitars.

 

The band pioneered a sound

fusing heavy metal and punk rock

— a genre later known as grunge —

and helped bring it to the mainstream,

releasing hits like “Nearly Lost You” in 1992

and “All I Know” in 1996.

 

The Seattle grunge scene

found critical success in the 1990s,

by which time the Screaming Trees

were a key player but not a marquee act.

 

In 1996, after the band released

its seventh album in 10 years,

it took a hiatus while Mr. Lanegan worked

on his third solo album,

according to a biography of the band

on allmusic.com.

 

Screaming Trees never quite picked up

its momentum again and disbanded in 2000.

New Order    UK

 

Years active

1980–1993    1998–2007    2011–2020s

 

New Order,

one of the most influential U.K. bands

of the 20th century,

formed in the long shadow of Joy Division,

which disbanded following the 1980 death

of singer Ian Curtis.

 

Joy Division's surviving members

— Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook

and Stephen Morris —

formed New Order the same year

and soon began carving out

their own rich creative legacy,

which spanned several decades

and a string of massive singles.

becoming a purely instrumental band

in 1971.

The Song That Connects Jackson Browne, Nico and Margot Tenenbaum

Browne wrote “These Days” at 16.

 

Now 75,

he and some famous admirers reflect on his unexpected mainstay:

“If a song is worth anything, it’s about the life of the listener.”

Ry Cooder    USA

 

Some of the first records

Ry Cooder heard and loved as a child

were Woody Guthrie’s songs 

about working-class people

in the Great Depression.

 

He never quite got them

out of his system.

 

There has been a strain of social commentary

in his albums, going back to his solo debut,

when he covered Guthrie’s “Do Re Mi”

and Alfred Reed’s “How Can a Poor Man

Stand Such Times and Live?”

Yes    UK

 

Yes, formed in 1968,

was known for its blend of rock,

jazz, folk and classical influences

and also for its complex time signatures

and pristine vocal harmonies.

 

One of the first of the so-called progressive

(or prog) rock bands

— among the others were King Crimson

and Emerson, Lake & Palmer —

it went on to become

the most successful and longest-lasting.

 

The first Yes albums to reach a wide

international audience

were the group’s third and fourth,

“The Yes Album” (1971)

and “Fragile” (1972),

both released in the United States on Atlantic.

Ronald Cornett Hawkins    USA    1935-2022

 

Ronnie Hawkins

(...)

combined the gregarious stage presence

of a natural showman and a commitment

to turbocharged rockabilly music

in a rowdy career that spanned more

than a half-century

 

(...)

 

She did not say where he died

or disclose the cause,

though she said he had been quite ill.

 

Mr. Hawkins started performing

in his native Arkansas in the late 1950s

and became a roadhouse entertainer

based in Canada in the 1960s,

his music forever rooted

in the primal rock ’n’ roll rhythms

of Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry.

 

For all of his success,

his biggest claim to fame

was not the music he produced

but the musicians he attracted

and mentored.

 

His backup musicians of the early 1960s,

Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson,

Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko,

went on to form the Band,

which backed Bob Dylan

and became one of the most admired

and influential bands in rock history.

 

But those musicians,

like many of Mr. Hawkins’s fans,

never lost their reverence

for the man known as the Hawk.

James Frederick Rodgers    USA    1933-2021

 

Years active 1957–2021

 

Jimmie Rodgers ('s) smooth voice

straddled the line

between pop and country

and brought him a string of hits

— none bigger than his first record,

*“Honeycomb,” in 1957 —

 

(...)

 

Mr. Rodgers was a regular presence

on the pop, country, R&B

and easy listening charts

for a decade after “Honeycomb,”

with records that included

“Oh-Oh, I’m Falling in Love Again” (1958)

and “Child of Clay” (1967),

both of which were nominated

for Grammy Awards.

 

He might have continued

that run of success

but for an ugly incident in December 1967,

when he was pulled over

by a man who, he later said,

was an off-duty Los Angeles police officer

and beat him severely.

 

Three brain surgeries followed,

and he was left

with a metal plate in his head.

 

He eventually resumed performing,

and even briefly

had his own television show,

but he faced constant difficulties.

 

For a time he was sidelined

because he started having seizures

during concerts.

and five-time Grammy winner

who contributed

to the Southernization of popular music

in the 1960s and ’70s

 

(...)



Mr. Thomas’s biggest hit was

“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,”

which was originally featured

in the 1969 movie “Butch Cassidy

and the Sundance Kid”

and spent four weeks

at the top of the pop chart

in early 1970.

Stewart Lupton    USA    1975-2018

 

singer-songwriter

whose short-lived ’90s band Jonathan Fire*Eater

burned fast and bright,

falling short of major-label rock stardom

but inspiring a wave of New York acts

in the early 2000s

 

(...)

 

Mr. Lupton’s family, in a statement,

gave no cause of death

but said it stemmed

from a “desperate attempt

to escape the voices

that so tormented him.”

 

Jonathan Fire*Eater,

with Mr. Lupton as its charismatic,

frenetic frontman,

released only two albums

and a smattering of demos and EPs

before its demise in 1998.

 

Yet the band’s screechy,

danceable post-punk sound,

propelled by a rowdy organ

and Mr. Lupton’s wails,

helped plant the seed

of the New York rock revival

that would bring the Strokes,

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol

and LCD Soundsystem

to international acclaim.

Edward Claude "Ed" Cassidy    USA    1923-2012

 

Years active 1937–2012

 

Way back

when rock ’n’ roll was countercultural

— before the members of the Rolling Stones

were anywhere close to 50 years old,

much less celebrating

their 50th anniversary together —

the genre tended to emphasize

rather than bridge generational divides.

 

So when the experimental group Spirit

formed in the late 1960s,

it was different not just for the way

it fused jazz and rock,

or the way it mixed psychedelia

with a particularly tight backbeat.

 

It was also different

because its drummer was the 44-year-old

stepfather of its 16-year-old guitarist.

 

(...)

 

By the time Spirit  formed in 1967,

Mr. Cassidy had already had

a notable and diverse musical career.

 

He had played with jazz musicians

including Dexter Gordon,

Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan

and Cannonball Adderly

and had formed a folk-blues group

with Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder

called the Rising Sons.

 

While Mr. Cassidy was performing

with other adults,

his young stepson, Randy Wolfe,

was becoming a fine musician himself.

 

He impressed Jimi Hendrix

when they met in a music store in Manhattan,

and it was Hendrix who gave Randy

the nickname he went by

for the rest of his life, Randy California.

 

Soon enough, stepfather and stepson

were playing and touring together.

 

Spirit released more than a dozen albums

from 1968 to 1996,

but it was the first work

that was the most influential

and critically praised.

 

Its biggest hit and only Top 40 single,

“I Got a Line on You,”

was released in 1968;

the band was also celebrated

for its adventurous 1970 album,

“Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.”

 

That record included the song “Mr. Skin,”

which was the nickname

Mr. Cassidy’s fellow band members

had given him in honor of his shaved head.

Michael Davis    USA    1943-2012

 

The bass guitarist Michael Davis

(...)

joined Detroit's seminal rock band

the MC5 in 1965.

 

He stayed with them

during their most challenging

and incendiary period,

and in later years appeared

with a rebuilt version

of the group called DKT-MC5

while also studying for a fine arts degree

and promoting a music education

programme.

Spencer Davis,

the leader of a rock group

under his name

that had some of the most propulsive

and enduring hits of the 1960s,

including “Gimme Some Lovin’,”

“I’m a Man” and “Keep On Running”

— all sung not by him

but by a teenage Steve Winwood —

 

(...)

 

Mr. Davis co-wrote

“Gimme Some Lovin’,”

his group’s biggest hit.

 

He played rhythm guitar in the band

and occasionally sang lead vocals,

lending his baritone voice mostly

to blues-oriented material.

 

But it was Mr. Winwood,

who was only 15

when Mr. Davis discovered him,

who emerged as the group’s star,

singing lead on its hit singles

and later becoming

an essential figure in British rock

through his work with the bands

Traffic and Blind Faith

and in a long solo career.

 

After Mr. Winwood abruptly left

the Spencer Davis Group in 1967

to form Traffic,

Mr. Davis kept the band going

through multiple incarnations.

 

In 1968, a new iteration

of the Spencer Davis Group

enjoyed two Top  40 hits in Britain,

“Time Seller” and “Mr. Second Class.”

Michael / Mick Ronson    UK    1946-1993

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

former lead guitarist

for David Bowie's band,

and (...) rock music producer

 

(...)



Mr. Ronson was a hard-rock guitarist

who also understood melody,

and his chunky chords and riffs

put a firm rock foundation

under the ironies of Mr. Bowie's

androgynous glam-rock.

 

Songs like "Suffragette City"

helped to establish

the proportions of a genre

that survived the 1970's

and thrived anew in the 1980's

as so-called lite metal.

 

Mr. Ronson joined Mr. Bowie's band,

the Spiders From Mars,

in the late 1960's, playing on the albums

"The Man Who Sold the World"

and "Hunky Dory.'

 

He was credited as co-arranger

and guitarist on the 1972 album

"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

and the Spiders From Mars,"

which established Mr. Bowie as a star.

 

He also performed and arranged

on Lou Reed's 1972 album "Transformer,"

including the hit "Walk on the Wild Side,"

and performed on Mr. Bowie's

1973 album "Aladdin Sane."

Flack's impact as a performer

was sudden and massive.

Over the next four decades,

Flack built a legacy on a quiet belief in limitlessness.
