Nick Lowe

As the house producer at Stiff Records, Nick Lowe helped shape the early output of Elvis Costello, The Damned, and The Pretenders, in addition to throwing his own wickedly cool pop daggers. After the ’80s, Lowe traded new wave for roots-rock and—with the recent At My Age—country, but he still earns bragging rights as a “Godfather Of Punk” for reviving the three-minute rock single, as well as penning barbed classics such as “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, And Understanding.”
