John Mellencamp
A lo largo de su carrera, John Mellencamp ha tenido que luchar ya sea por su derecho a grabar con su propio nombre o por ganar respeto como artista. Mellencamp comenzó su carrera a finales de los ‘'70 como clon de Bruce Springsteen y bajo el nombre de Johnny Cougar. A medida que progresaba su carrera, su música se hizo cada vez más distintiva, tornándose una mezcla de hard rock y folk-rock a lo Stonesy. Su crecimiento fue paralelo a su popularidad –lo que sucedió cuando "Hurts So Good" y "Jack and Diane" se transformaron en éxito en 1982, y Mellencamp había creado ya su propia variación en ritmo del heartland rock. A pesar de que tenía ventas récord, pasaron varios años antes de que los críticos de rock lo tomasen en serio.© Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo Leer más
