Julian Cope

The Teardrop Explodes didn't say anything to me. As a solo artist, I adore him. "Fried" remains one of my favorite albums. I also found the relatively fresh "Revolutionary Suicide" to be a great record. He did some silly things in my opinion [like "Saint Julian" and "My Nation Underground," late '80s, where he almost flirted with the more crass '80s pop] but for the sheer goodness of the amazing things he's released (besides Krautrocksampler and Japrocksampler), he truly deserves the five pills.
