5Top: Five singers who ruined pop music

Sure, he could sound like John Lennon on one album and Luther Vandross on the next. But that was the problem with David Bowie — in his heyday he seemed more of a theatrical chameleon who tried on personas than an impassioned rock singer. Bowie’s restless experimentalism allowed him to pull off being coolly distant and affected. Sadly, others copped his affectations without his intelligent approach. For a while in the 1980s, it seemed as if nearly every singer drew more from Bowie’s European theater tradition of singing than the tradition of rock singing itself (which came from R&B and gospel sources). Those who succumbed to Bowie-itis included everyone from Ric Ocasek of the Cars to David Byrne of Talking Heads to Robert Palmer to even Cyndi Lauper and Madonna. In short, anytime anyone tries on a vocal persona instead of singing from the heart, they’re channeling the Thin White Duke.

5Top: Albums artists don’t want you to hear

Back in 1988, before Tori Amos found her voice as a singer-songwriter, she made her debut with the heavy handed synth rock band Y Kant Tori Read. They released one poorly-received eponymous album and disbanded because Amos couldn’t stand the music she was making or the image Atlantic Records was shoehorning her into. The album and CD barely sold, and went out of print. But long after Amos became an established star, the album remains unavailable, apparently at Amos’ behest since she didn’t feel the music represented her. Maybe not, but her fans are shrewd enough to understand that, while still wanting to hear it. It might make for a good bonus disc in a box set (which would let Amos avoid having to put the embarrassing front cover back on CD racks). It’s worth noting Amos has performed at least one of the album’s songs, live, so she can’t hate it all that much. For now, you can see the video Amos and company did for on YouTube or pick up used copies on Amazon, which star
