Integral to the music is the artwork that comes with it. The album covers and sleeve artwork add to the emotional impact of the music with vivid and meaningful imagery. Throughout the band's career, this aspect was mainly provided by the talents of photographer and graphic artist Storm Thorgerson and his erstwhile graphic studio Hipgnosis ("hip" gnosis or hypnosis). Many of these images have acquired fame in their own right; notably the famous picture of a man shaking the hand of his burning alter-ego for Wish You Were Here< ...

Pink Floyd enjoyed moderate success in the late-1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. After Barrett's erratic behavior caused his colleagues to add guitarist David Gilmour (who eventually replaced Barrett), the band went on to record several elaborate concept albums, achieving worldwide success with 1973's Dark Side of the Moon and 1979's The Wall both among the best-selling and most enduringly popular albums in rock history.

In 1989, Minogue starred in The Delinquents, which told the story of a young girl growing up in Australia during the late 1950s. Its release coincided with her popularity in Neighbours, and while both the film and Minogue's performance were the subject of derisive comments by critics, it was a commercial success. She appeared as Cammy in the action film Street Fighter (1994), based on the fighting game series of the same name. The film did nothing to further her acting career, was dismissed by fans of the series, and rec ...

A false rumor stated that an early name suggested for the band by Cliff Williams was "The Razor's Edge". This is false, as Cliff Williams did not join AC/DC until 1977 and had no prior contact with the band. The name "AC/DC" (alternating current/direct current) was suggested by the Young brothers' sister Margaret after she read it on an electric sewing machine's label. The band was initially unaware of the bisexual connotation of the term; public response brought it to their attention. This public perception was exacerbated by their e ...

Kraftwerk was founded in 1970 by Florian Schneider-Esleben (flute) and Ralf Hütter (keyboards), the pair setting up their Kling Klang studio in Düsseldorf. The two had met as students in the late 1960s, participating in the experimental music scene of the time which the UK music press dubbed "krautrock". The early Kraftwerk line-ups (1970-1974) fluctuated, Hütter and Schneider working with around half a dozen other musicians over the course of recording four albums and sporadic live appearances - most notably guitarist Michael Rother and drummer ...

Throughout her professional life, Minogue has been the subject of intense media interest in both the United Kingdom and Australia, which has remained constant even while her success as a recording artist has fluctuated. Her efforts to be taken seriously as a musician have sometimes been hindered by her high profile as noted by The Australian, who wrote in 1997, "When you have to lug around an image the size of Kylie's, it's difficult for any music you produce to match the hype—especially in a country that gives scant credibility to ...

After several early experimental albums, their breakthrough came in 1974 (1974 in music) with the Autobahn album and its 22-minute title track (you can hear a sample on the album's page), which was a worldwide hit and demonstrated their increasing reliance on synthesizers and electronics.

Kraftwerk's most significant influences on popular music include: the musical form, and style of electronic arrangements, in the genres broadly known as "synth pop"/"techno pop"/"new wave"/"electro pop", and in the myriad subgenres of electronic "dance music". Countless musicians creating music in these styles have testified to having been inspired and influenced to do so by hearing Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk's recorded output on albums from Autobahn to Computer World are frequently cited as sounding quite unlike any other contemporary popular ...
