"Blue Hawaii."

The "Blue Hawaii" soundtrack had a victorious 20 weeks in the #1 spot (and 39 weeks in the Top 10) on Billboard's Top Pop LPs chart. Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager, intended to get his client on pace to record one soundtrack and one popular music album every year; but Presley's growing film career (with associated soundtracks) diminished the onus on the star's regular albums. He only recorded six regular albums in the 1960s, compared to 16 soundtracks and appearing in 27 movies.

"1977."

The Clash are arguably one of the greatest punk bands there ever was. They also were weirdly prophetic. On their song "1977," they argue that the old rock 'n' roll guard was gone or irrelevant by saying "No Elvis, Beatles, or Rolling Stones"—the song came out five months before Elvis passed away.

Eric Clapton.

In 1971, George Harrison and Ravi Shankar organized the Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden—an ambitious live show/fundraiser that sent more than $12 million to the flood-ravaged nation. Interestingly, Harrison wrote the song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" in 1968 while with his wife Pattie Boyd. Clapton wrote "Layla" for Boyd, whom he'd fallen for, in 1970; Harrison and Boyd separated in 1974 and she married Clapton in 1979.

Madonna.

It was Tim Burton's "Batman" that first proved to Hollywood that comic-book movies could be lucrative hits (though it took awhile for anyone to successfully follow in Burton's footsteps). A year later, Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy" was another giant box-office success, but perhaps even weirder and harder to replicate. Madonna played femme fatale Breathless Mahoney and the songs she sang were all written by musical-theater legend Stephen Sondheim.

Incredibly, Elvis released "Don't Be Cruel" on a single with "Hound Dog" on the opposite side in 1956. Both sides of the single hit #1 on the Pop, Country, and R&B charts and held their spots for months. The song was written by Otis Blackwell and was covered by everyone from Ringo Starr to Devo.

"Norwegian Wood" is the second track on the Beatles' sixth album "Rubber Soul." The John Lennon-penned song, which tells a somewhat cryptic story of an affair, featured the first appearance of George Harrison's sitar.

"Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

Rod Stewart, who first came to prominence as the singer for the late-1960s Jeff Beck Group, recorded "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" with a touch of disco flavor and hit #1 in February of 1979. Stewart, now 74, has had a long, sprawling career partly because of his ability to adapt to the changing face of rock 'n' roll; he was inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1994 and as a member of the Faces in 2012. Unexpectedly, he also loves model trains.

Kelly, who was the songwriter and producer on her first album, and who illegally married Aaliyah when she was just 15.

Chairman Mao.

"Revolution" is a song on the Beatles' 1968 double-album classic "The White Album." The song was the first outwardly political release by the Beatles, but was also criticized for not going far enough and for critiquing violence from both sides. Chairman Mao Zedong was the leader of Communist China and his brand of communism became a model for some of the New Left in the late-1960s; John Lennon is saying that you're not going to get laid talking about him anyhow.

Death Row Records.

Soon after Death Row Records was founded in 1991, it was a monolith of powerful, legendary West Coast rap. Death Row Records, run ruthlessly by Suge Knight who co-founded the label with Dr. Dre, put out music from Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, and many more. Dr. Dre split with Knight in early 1996 at a time when the label was making $100 million per year; Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September of that year.

Born David Jones, the legendary British rocker changed his name to David Bowie at the advice of a manager, who told him, "Nobody's going to make a monkey out of you." He changed his name to quash any confusion with Davy Jones, another British rock star who was becoming a giant star as the frontman of the Monkees, a pop band built specifically for a TV show. A year after the Monkees disbanded in 1971, Bowie's "Space Oddity" was rereleased by RCA Records and he was well on his way to a legendary career.

"Walk Like an Egyptian."

Songwriter Liam Sternberg wrote "Walk Like an Egyptian" and gave it to the Bangles who turned it into the #1 hit of 1987. The band's singer and drummer Debbi Peterson reportedly resented the song because neither her vocals or her drumming were used on the record. But "Walk Like an Egyptian," along with hits like "Manic Monday" and "Eternal Flame," made the Bangles one of the best all-female bands in history.

Aretha Franklin.

Even a lofty title like the Queen of Soul seems to be selling the powerful singer from Memphis short. Aretha Franklin—with her gorgeous, ferocious, and, at the same time, deeply vulnerable voice—is widely considered one of the the greatest American musical artists in history. "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" was a 1967 album that featured the title track, "Respect," and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man"—it was ranked as Pitchfork's 10th Best Album of the 1960s.
