THE KINKS - Broadway Melodies
That's Muswell Hill Broadway, off course: the birthplace, or thereabouts of The Kinks, 60 years ago.

"The emotions are so powerful," they tell Andrew Male. "So varied"

JODY STEPHENS - Dependable foil to "unhappy" Chris Bell and "unpredictable" Alex Chilton, mainstay of multiple incarnations of Big Star, Jody Stephens has kept the band's torch alight with poise and positivity, alongside roles as Ardent Studio CEO and one half of Those Pretty Wrongs.

BURT BACHARACH - One of the last great star songwriters, linking Milhaud and The Beatles, The Blob and Austin Powers, Burt Bacharach combined sparkling sophistication with a devastating emotional range, turning melodies that taught the world to sing and still amaze peers and devotees. "Burt was in touch with the soul," they tell Bill DeMain

ALAN HULL - Falling between stools of rock and folk and pop, the songs of Alan Hull - wry, seductive, palpably Northern - shone in Geordie hitmakers Lindisfarne and on cult-status solo albums championed by Sting and Alex Turner. So why, asks Mojo of his bandmates, did he miss out on the recognition he deserved? "Hully was complex... difficult, but how could you not love somebody who wrote so brilliantly?"

DAVID BOWIE's 1973 brought two smash albums, spiralling success, and the first signs of the madness that might lurk behind the singer's beguiling new mask. As Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups celebrate their 50th birthdays, Bowie's colourful comrades - and Lulu - remember a year of musical questing, cocaine and... betrayal?
