In his early days, multi-instrumentalist Lenny Kravitz helped meld together alternative rock, psychedelia, and R&B on hip-shaking albums like Are You Gonna Go My Way? and Mama Said. As his career took off, he employed a more radio-friendly sound but kept a sharp musical edge on even his most accessible works, like 1998's 5. Into the ‘00s and ‘10s, Kravitz earned attention for acting in films like The Hunger Games and Precious while still maintaining his thriving and vibrant rock career with albums like 2014's funk-heavy Strut.
