Identity in Music

Hey everyone!
I'm in my final (scary) year of university and as part of my course I have to complete a dissertation. For this, I've chosen to look into how modern musicians (1960-2010) have used accent and pronunciation within their songs to help get a point across and establish their own identity. To answer this question, I'd like to analyse five songs from ANY genre spanning each of the 5 decades. I would really appreciate it if anyone would like to reply, naming 5 tracks that you consider to contain a particular accent/way of speaking, and maybe a short comment as to why you believe the tracks have a strong identity. The artists/songs can originate from any country, but as its an English dissertation I have to concentrate on English lyrics.

Cheers for your help!
