U2
Michael Jackson
Madonna
and "Weird Al" Yankovic
Ironically, Al has parodied the other three. :)

Also, his son, Max G, is a drummer.
Interestingly, Wikipedia contradicts itself here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1600s
> The period from 1600 to 1699, synonymous with the 17th century
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_century
> The 17th century was the century that lasted from January 1, 1601, to December 31, 1700.
I think this is going to annoy me until I forget about it.
In this case, if we are talking about hundred-year spans at once, a shift of 1 year is irrelevant, thus I would say "synonymous" is valid.
I hope this soothes your annoyance.
The Spanish monarchy in the 1600s or in the 17th century is the same for me, same if you say "the Spanish monarchy (1600-1699)", unless a specific event happened in 1700 (revolution?).
Roughly 1% of people born in the 17th century were not born in the 1600's.
