Dude! Some major oversights in your list!!

You can ditch Rhianna off that list entirely, she wasn't/isn't even remotely innovative. Kick Madonna out of the '90's and move her up to the 80's. Put Michael Jackson and Prince in for the '90's. As far as 2000 and 2010 are concerned, they should both just be blank. There is no major music innovation in those decades. None of it is even real.

Lydia Carter???? Wonder woman????


Where is David Bowie?

Elton John?

Rolling Stones?

Led Zepplin?

Beatles?

so to you Rolling stones , Led Zepplin and the beatles are exotic pop bands?

Interesting

Also queen did rock music and all of the individuals you mentioned were male....it would've been weird to include males in a thread named exotic pop artists , I was obviously referring to females. My original thread title would've been "exotic female pop artists through history".

but whatever apparently I made some people upset.

"Exotic" can mean a lot of things. Here's a pop artist who was perhaps the most exotic of all time. The dude pretty much singlehandedly invented the 60's hippie counterculture.

a reply to: Time4Nostalgia

Certainly a hell of a lot more exotic than Rhianna!!

Lydia Carter too! I mean like, Wonder Woman...really???

But okay, so you want "exotic"...what about bands like Devo? and Queen (Queen is about as exotic as you can get!)? What about performers like Liberace? Insane Clown Posse? Parliament? Jimmi Hendrix? And the list goes on!

Korla Pandit

Korla Pandit (September 16, 1921 – October 2, 1998),[disputed – discuss] born John Roland Redd, was an American musician, composer, pianist, organist, and television pioneer of national notability. After moving to California in the late 1940s and getting involved in show business, Redd became known as "Korla Pandit", a French-Indian musician from New Delhi, India. However, Redd was actually a light-skinned African-American man from Missouri who passed as Indian. A pathbreaking musical performer in the early days of television, Redd is known for Korla Pandit's Adventures In Music; the show was the first all-music program on television. He also performed live and on radio and made various film appearances, becoming known as the "Godfather of Exotica". Redd maintained the Korla Pandit persona—both in public and in private—until the end of his life.

As a child in the 1950s this cat would come on TV and my folks would watch it because if was music, oh, and exotic.

Here's a mainstream artist who was considered quite exotic when she first hit. I would have to agree.

Which definition of exotic are you going by:

1. introduced from a foreign country; not native to the place where found
2. strikingly, excitingly, or mysteriously different or unusual

Isn't that Lynda Carter?

Either way, those music stank...

Nothing says exotic like vegan metal.
