Thank you, Jundo, everyone!
If there was a Buddhist Rock Radio station, Tina Turner and Herbie Hancock could certainly feature as I believe that both practice in the Nichiren/Soka Gakkai tradition.
British singer songwriter Beth Orton was a Buddhist nun at some point, and old hippy Donovan sung about the mountains being mountains, then not being mountains, and finally mountains again, inspired by the ninth century Ch'an monk, Qingyuan Weixin:
“Before I had studied Ch’an for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and rivers as rivers. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and rivers are not rivers. But now that I have got its very substance, I am at rest. For it’s just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and rivers once again as rivers.”
And if we have the band Nirvana, we also have Samsara in this track by dub collective Vibronics (and hold onto your bass amp!):
