Speed Of SoundColdplay
They reached No.
8 in the U.S.
in 2005.
On the Super Bowl halftime show stage in 2016, they performed alongside Bruno Mars and Beyoncé, bringing huge excitement.
In 2017, they visited Japan for the first time in three years and drew 45,000 people for their first Tokyo Dome concert.
Part of their appeal is how they evolve with the times—sometimes sounding like the Beatles, other times reminiscent of U2.
Producer Brian Eno may have been the one to bring out their strengths.
ParanoidBlack Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne.
Come on, he’s already cool, isn’t he? (lol) He’s a frail old grandpa now, but there’s no doubt that many men and women still worship him.
He’s the eternal heavy metal guy.
I hope he keeps it up until the day he dies.
BREADFANBUDGIE
A Welsh trio of second-tier heavy rock that even covered Metallica.
Produced by the same Roger Bain as Black Sabbath, their heaviness rivals Sabbath’s and is so powerful you wouldn’t believe they’re just a trio.
“Budgie” means a budgerigar (parakeet).
AtomicBlondie
It’s no exaggeration to say that a young Debbie Harry captured the hearts of men and women all over the world.
I’d call her the coolest, most stylish woman on the planet.
Her looks, fashion, and style—everything about her was just cool.
Talk You Out Of ItFlorida Georgia Line
Florida Georgia Line is a country duo known for their striking, message-driven lyrics.
While they’re a country act, their music blends elements of rock and R&B, making many of their songs very easy to listen to.
With so many tracks brimming with originality, why not give them a listen?
