Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians

Robyn Hitchcock started out as the leader of late-1970s UK psychedelic revivalists the Soft Boys. After that band's disintegration at the turn of the decade, he became a solo artist, whose Bob Dylan-meets-Syd Barrett absurdist wordplay meshed perfectly with his post-Beatles pop melodicism. Sometimes on his own and sometimes with stalwart backup band the Egyptians, Hitchcock became a cult hero to the alternative/college-rock crowd in the '80s. Though some of his recordings were virtual one-man acoustic affairs and some featured full-blown pop production, Hitchcock never flagged in his devotion to his quirky muse, releasing great albums throughout the decades.
