THEN
JIM MORRISON
Tousle-haired, poetry-spouting, Doors-fronting lizard king. Died in bath.
JOHN McLAUGHLIN
Legendary axman who founded the noodle-heavy Mahavishnu Orchestra. Long
popular among the wake-and-bake set.
ELP
Willfully bombastic '70s prog trio (with Keith Emerson), who wrote
obtuse songs like ''The Hut of Baba Yaga.''
NOW
JAMES MORRISON
Tousle-haired, love-song-spouting pop-funkateer. Probably enjoys baths.
JON McLAUGHLIN
Up-and-coming ivory tickler who's fond of arpeggio-filled piano pop.
Already a favorite with the Prius and Nalgene crowd.
El-P
Sonically challenging underground rapper, who writes obtuse songs like
the just-released ''Tasmanian Pain Coaster.''
