Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott, also fronted the Valentines with Vince Lovegrove which was as far removed from AC/DC as you could possibly get.

Yep, that's Bon in the background

John Hiatt it is, you guys sort it out between each other who posts next.
Between and written clues make it a bit too easy, unless the references are so obscure nobody gets it. I originally wanted to place a 5-10 second sound bite, but the mods freaked .
If anyone can think of a better way to make this work, be my guest.

First in best dressed.

Your up Outback.

OK

This guy, born 1968 in Indiana, is the only remaining founding member of his band, which was formed in 1985 (and still going)

His keen interest in the American Civil War shows in the band's music.

Just thinking out loud here, too young to be John Mellencamp (b. 1951, Indiana), or Axl Rose (b. 1962, Indiana).

John Schaffer, the only original member of Iced Earth (formerly called Purgatory, formed 1985). Born March 15, 1968 in Franklin, Indiana.

Good pickup GJ (or good wiki/google reseach). Anyway it's right.

Now over to you......................

Yeah, a combination of Google and Wiki. I always thought I would make a good research assistant . It looks like you're into thrash metal, personally I'm into blues and blues based rock, but I still like the challenge .

Here we go again.

I was born in 1953.
As of 2008 I have released 11 albums and more than 40 singles, with total sales exceeding 25 million worldwide.

How about Chaka Khan/Kahn?

No, not Chaka Khan.

My early influences were Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Billi Holliday and The Beatles.

OK so I am thinking female based on your list, how about Cyndi Lauper??

You got it.
