La Falta Habitacion Por Sr Hor-Hey!!
Radiohead comes to mind. Considering the sound of their last five albums, they're a completely different sounding band than when they started out. OK Computer was like the bridge album between what was, and what was to be. Personally I think their catalogue is more relevant than any other modern band.
Ice Cube comes to mind too, but not just so for music. I remember the first time I saw the Straight Outta Compton video and was like . This angry man was mimicking the pump action of a shotgun all the while telling me, "When I'm called off, I gotta sawed off, squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off." I never would have thought that one day he'd be making comedy and action films some day, or even producing a television series for TBS. Sticking with music, never thought he'd make records to dance to either.
I guess when mentioning the early NWA days, one has to mention Dr.Dre. His sound from Straight Outta Compton, and how it progressed on efil4zaggiN, and then completely changed on The Chronic and Chronic 2001, Doggystyle, to what he does for other artists today, he's never stayed exactly the same. He really doesn't even have a signature sound like a DJ Premier (I love Primo by the way) per say. His sound has always been evolving.

Jamie, Maggie Mae brings back such good memories of autumn and catching the school bus to Smokerise Elem. School.
La Falta, yes, Ice Cube has surprised me too with his movies and TV.
I never realized Stephen Colbert did Peace, Love and Understanding. That's a beautiful version of it.

Elton John, wow, early in his career he and Bernie Taupin turned out some beautiful, amazingly unique music. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was a masterpiece. It's got one of the best two song combinations in rock and roll history: Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding. Every song on the LP is good and some are great classics. The LP was worth every penny and more you spent on it. It's the LP that gave us Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting and Sweet Painted Ladies.

Man, this one brings me back to the summer I turned 14, 1973, which I spent in Charlottesville, VA with my older sister, now lost to the JW's. I have such good memories of hearing this song that summer. My sister and her husband were so cool then. Now they are old and ruined by the org. But here's a song that will make you feel both young and energized. "Saturday night's alright, alright alrightttt wooooooooooo!"

Designs, I had no idea who were doing back up. So cool. And so sad how Sam died. I love Sam's voice and I love his back up singers, too.

Hi Flying,
I pretty much stopped keeping track after the Beatles....
BUT
Yellow Brick Road is probably my favorite album of all-time tied with Tapestry by Carole King. YBR was the backdrop of change for me - leaving JWs and leaving my first husband (former Bethelite) all at once.
Loved hearing the Rod Stewart numbers you posted - was not familiar with them - wish I could understand all the lyrics. As far as I am concerned RS is sexier and better looking now than he ever was younger......
Ahhh....oldies......
