Interprète: Ultravox

Titre: Reap The Wild Wind

Année: 1983

Billboard: #27

Ultravox est un groupe britannique de pop électronique/new wave fondé en 1973 par John Foxx avec Chris Cross (de son vrai nom Christopher Allen) à la basse et Stevie Shears à la guitare, rejoint l'année suivante par Warren Cann à la batterie et Billy Currie aux claviers et au violon. Le groupe s'appelle alors Tiger Lily et changera son nom en Ultravox en 1976.

Inspirés par le glam rock et le punk, le groupe développe un son qui influencera la scène new wave, notamment Gary Numan. Avec l'arrivée de Midge Ure en 1979, en remplacement de John Foxx, Ultravox prend de l'ampleur et obtient plusieurs succès (comme Vienna, Hymn ou Dancing with Tears in My Eyes) jusqu'à sa séparation en 1988.

Entre 1992 et 1996 Billy Currie relance Ultravox avec de tout nouveaux musiciens et enregistre deux albums studio mais sans obtenir de succès.

En 2008 Ultravox se reforme avec cette fois Midge Ure, Billy Currie, Chris Cross et Warren Cann. Après une tournée en 2009 et la publication d'un album live, le groupe sort un nouvel album studio en 2012.

Ultravox (formerly known as Ultravox!) are a British new wave band, formed in London in 1974 as Tiger Lily. Between 1980–86, they scored seven Top Ten albums and seventeen Top 40 singles in the UK, the most successful of which was their 1981 hit "Vienna".

The band has been led by two different frontmen who never played together in the band at the same time. From 1974 until 1979, singer John Foxx was frontman and the main driving force behind Ultravox. Foxx left the band to embark on a solo career and, following his departure, with the three remaining members in hiatus, Midge Ure took over as lead singer, guitarist and frontman in 1980 after he and keyboardist Billy Currie worked in the studio project Visage. Ure revitalised the band and steered it to commercial success lasting until the mid-1980s. Ure left the band in 1987 after establishing his own solo career and the group disbanded for a while. A new line-up, led by Currie, was formed in 1992, but achieved little success.

The band's best-known line-up of Currie, Ure, bassist Chris Cross and drummer Warren Cann reformed in 2008 and performed a series of reunion shows in 2009 and 2010 before releasing a new studio album, Brill!ant, in May 2012. In November 2013, Ultravox performed as special guests on a four date UK arena tour with Simple Minds.

Radiohead - Creep

Interprète: Radiohead

Titre: Creep

Année: 1993

Billboard: #2

Radiohead est un groupe de rock anglais composé de 5 musiciens originaires d'Abingdon dans l'Oxfordshire : Thom Yorke (chant, guitare et piano), Jonny Greenwood (guitare, et autres divers instruments), Colin Greenwood (basse), Ed O'Brien (guitare et chœurs), et Phil Selway (batterie).

Le premier single du groupe, Creep, paraît en 1992 et leur premier album Pablo Honey suit en 1993. La popularité de Radiohead au Royaume-Uni augmente avec la sortie de leur second album intitulé The Bends en 1995. Cependant, ce n'est qu'en 1997 qu'ils acquièrent une réputation mondiale grâce au succès de OK Computer. Les sorties consécutives de Kid A en 2000 et de Amnesiac en 2001, propulsent le groupe à son apogée. La critique est cependant divisée, surprise par la nouvelle orientation musicale dans ces deux albums, maintenant teintée d'électronique, de post-punk et de jazz. La sortie de Hail to the Thief en 2003 marque la séparation entre Radiohead et leur principal label EMI. C'est donc sans label que le groupe sort son septième album, In Rainbows, en 2007, ce qui lui permet d'expérimenter de nouveaux moyens de distribution sur internet. Après quelques années où les membres se consacrent à d'autres projets, le groupe sort The King of Limbs en 2011.

L'influence de Radiohead est maintenant indéniable aussi bien sur la scène pop britannique (Travis, Coldplay, Muse, ...) que sur le monde de la musique en général. Le groupe a vendu plus de 30 millions d'albums, et les albums OK Computer et Kid A sont régulièrement cités comme des albums marquants de leur époque.

Radiohead are an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Colin Greenwood (bass), Phil Selway (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals).

Radiohead released their debut single "Creep" in 1992. It became a worldwide hit after the release of the band's debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Their popularity rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to international fame; featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer is often acclaimed as one of the landmark records of the 1990s and one of the best albums of all time.

Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked a dramatic evolution in Radiohead's musical style, as they incorporated experimental electronic music, krautrock and jazz influences. Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of piano and guitar rock, electronics, and lyrics inspired by war, was the band's final album for their record label, EMI. Radiohead self-released their seventh album In Rainbows (2007) as a digital download for which customers could set their own price, to critical and chart success. Their eighth album, The King of Limbs (2011), was an exploration of rhythm and quieter textures, and was also self-released.

Radiohead have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Their work places highly in both listener polls and critics' lists of the best music of the 1990s and 2000s. In 2011, Radiohead were ranked the third best British artists of all time by Paste, below only the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. In 2005, they were ranked 73rd in Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Artists of All Time"; Jonny Greenwood (48th) and O'Brien were both included in Rolling Stone‍ '​s list of greatest guitarists, and Yorke (66th) in their list of greatest singers. In 2009, Rolling Stone readers voted the group the second best artist of the 2000s.

Billboard: #5

Panic! at the Disco (parfois raccourci à PATD) est un groupe originaire de Las Vegas, dans le Nevada (États-Unis). Anciennement appelés Panic! at the Disco, ils ont changé de nom au début de l'année 2008 pour devenir Panic At The Disco, mais ont finalement décidé de remettre le ! après le départ de Ryan Ross et Jon Walker. Leur musique mélange pop, électronique, dance, rock, et bien d'autres. Leur premier album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) a rencontré quelques succès dans le Billboard 200. Il s'est vendu à environ 2,2 millions de copies.

Panic! at the Disco (stylized for a time as Panic at the Disco^]) is an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 and featuring the current lineup of vocalist and guitarist Brendon Urie and bassist Dallon Weekes; joined live by lead guitarist Kenneth Harris and drummer Dan Pawlovich since 2013.

Founded by childhood friends Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith, Brent Wilson and Brendon Urie, Panic! at the Disco recorded its first demos while its members were in high school. Shortly after, the band recorded and released its debut studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Made known by the top ten lead single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", the album eventually was certified double platinum in the US. In 2006, founding bassist Brent Wilson was fired from the band during an extensive world tour, and subsequently replaced by Jon Walker.

Influenced by 1960s rock bands the Beatles, the Zombies and the Beach Boys, and preceded by the hit single, "Nine in the Afternoon", the band's second studio album, Pretty. Odd. (2008), marked a significant departure from the sound of the band's debut, and ultimately led to the departure of guitarist and principal songwriter Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker, who favored the band's new direction. The duo subsequently formed a new band, the Young Veins, leaving Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith as the sole remaining members of Panic! at the Disco.

Continuing as a duo, the band released a new single, "New Perspective", and recruited Dallon Weekes (bass) and Ian Crawford (guitar) to accompany the band during live performances. The band's third studio album, Vices & Virtues (2011), marked a return to the band's initial Vaudevillian pop-punk sound and was recorded solely by Urie and Spencer with producers John Feldmann and Butch Walker.

In 2012, the band added touring bassist Weekes to its core lineup, rendering the band a three-piece, and released its fourth studio album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, in 2013.

In 2015 founding member Spencer Smith officially left the band, leaving Brendon Urie as the only member from the original lineup. On April 20, 2015, the band released "Hallelujah" as the first single from their fifth studio album.

Année: 1988

Billboard: #17

 Sinéad-Marie-Bernadette O'Connor (ʃɪˈneɪd oʊ ˈkɒnər est née le 8 décembre 1966 à Dublin) est une chanteuse et compositrice irlandaise. Sa reprise de la chanson Nothing Compares 2 U composée par Prince fut son plus grand succès en single.

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (/ʃɪˈneɪd oʊˈkɒnər/; born 8 December 1966) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. O'Connor achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a new arrangement of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U".

Since then, while maintaining her singing career, she has occasionally encountered controversy, partly due to her statements and gestures—such as her ordination as a priest despite being a woman with a Roman Catholic background—and her strongly expressed views on organised religion, women's rights, war, and child abuse.

In addition to her ten solo albums her work includes many singles, songs for films, collaborations with many other artists and appearances at charity fundraising concerts.
