As the lead singer of The Charlatans, Tim Burgess helped create a bridge between the baggy sound of Madchester and the bright retro vibes of Brit-pop. The Charlatans were one of a handful of bands to debut at the dawn of the 1990s and not only remained at the top of the U.K. charts throughout the decade, but sustained a career that lasted even longer.

Burgess occasionally stepped away from the group during their intermittent hiatuses -- his first solo album, I Believe, arrived in 2003 -- but it was in the 2010s when he developed a persona distinct from the group by releasing a series of increasingly adventurous solo albums.
