Jellyfish was an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1989 . Led by songwriters Andy Sturmer ( drums , vocals ) and Roger Manning ( keyboards , vocals ) , the group was known for their blend of 1970s classic rock and XTC-style power pop . They released two albums , Bellybutton ( 1990 ) and Spilt Milk ( 1993 ) , that proved highly influential to artists in a similar vein . Sturmer and Manning met in high school and shared an admiration for jazz , post-punk , and British pop music . Following a stint as members of Beatnik Beatch , they quit the group to continue songwriting with one another and formed Jellyfish with guitarist Jason Falkner , who left after the tour for Bellybutton . The group viewed Spilt Milk as their masterpiece and the fulfillment of their original grandiose vision for the band , emphasizing high-energy moods , vocal harmonies , and studio artifice . Jellyfish broke up in 1994 due to poor record sales , Sturmer 's discomfort with his role as frontman , and artistic conflicts between the two songwriters . Manning subsequently formed Imperial Drag and pursued careers as a solo artist and session musician . Sturmer worked with the Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi and has kept a low public profile , but continues working as a songwriter and composer for various cartoons . In 2020 , Manning , bassist Tim Smith , and guitarist Eric Dover reunited as the Lickerish Quartet . During their five-year existence , Jellyfish attracted critical acclaim and a devoted cult following , but were out of step with the prevailing rock trends of the time ( hair metal and grunge ) . Their only charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 was Baby 's Coming Back .
All the Greatest Hits , is the first compilation album released by British band McFly . Released on 5 November 2007 , two editions of the album were available , one including fourteen tracks , featuring a selection of the group 's best singles , and one including twenty-two tracks , including all of the group 's singles , plus a couple of B-sides and remixes . There are also three new songs featured on the album : The Heart Never Lies , Do n't Wake Me Up , and The Way You Make Me Feel . The album was certified as Gold in the UK , and has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide . McFly revealed in the compilation 's booklet that it was n't their idea to release a Greatest Hits album , and that they are still not keen on the idea .
Michael Joseph Jackson ( August 29 , 1958 - June 25 , 2009 ) was an American singer , songwriter , and dancer . Dubbed the King of Pop , he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest entertainers in the history of music . Jackson 's contributions to music , dance , and fashion , along with his publicized personal life , made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades . His sound and style have influenced artists of various genres . The eighth child of the Jackson family , Jackson made his professional debut in 1964 with his elder brothers Jackie , Tito , Jermaine , and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 . Jackson began his solo career in 1971 while at Motown Records , and rose to solo stardom with his fifth studio album Off the Wall ( 1979 ) . By the early 1980s , Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music . His music videos , including those for Beat It , Billie Jean , and Thriller from his sixth studio album Thriller ( 1982 ) , are credited with breaking racial barriers and transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool . Their popularity helped propel the television channel MTV into a significant factor of 1980s pop culture . The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 26th Grammy Awards , including Album of the Year . Jackson continued to innovate with videos including Leave Me Alone and Smooth Criminal from Bad ( 1987 ) , Black or White and Remember the Time from Dangerous ( 1991 ) , Scream from HIStory : Past , Present and Future , Book I ( 1995 ) and Ghosts from the remix album Blood on the Dance Floor : HIStory in the Mix ( 1997 ) .

As pioneers in recording , songwriting and artistic presentation , the group revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era 's youth and sociocultural movements . Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney , the Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960 , initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass . The core trio of Lennon , McCartney and Harrison , together since 1958 , went through a succession of drummers , including Pete Best , before asking Starr to join them in 1962 . Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings , greatly expanding their domestic success after their first hit , Love Me Do , in late 1962 . As their popularity grew into the intense fan frenzy dubbed Beatlemania , the band acquired the nickname the Fab Four , with Epstein , Martin and other members of the band 's entourage sometimes given the informal title of fifth Beatle . By early 1964 , the Beatles were international stars , leading the British Invasion of the United States pop market and breaking numerous sales records .

The band emerged during the height of British rhythm and blues and Merseybeat , and were briefly part of the British Invasion of the United States until their touring ban in 1965 ( as a result of constant fighting between the brothers ) . Their third single , the Ray Davies-penned You Really Got Me , became an international hit , topping the charts in the United Kingdom and reaching the Top 10 in the United States . Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres , including rhythm and blues , American rock and roll , British music hall , folk , and country .
