- Robert Plant. First, we have the legend that is Robert Plant, who stands as one of the great gods of rock’s frontmen. Storming the charts with Led Zeppelin from 1968 to 1980, Plant’s distinctive tenor voice defined an era of hard rock.
- Freddie Mercury. Born on the island of Zanzibar just off the coast of Tanzania, Farrokh Bulsara—better known as Freddie Mercury—had an interest in music from an early age.
- Steven Tyler. Though he was born Steven Victor Tallarico in New York, Steven Tyler grew up to lead Boston-based Aerosmith, one of rock’s biggest acts.
- Tina Turner. The captivating charisma and powerful vocals of Tina Turner took her from Nutbush, Tennessee, to stages of the world. When she was a teen, she heard Ike Turner sing and was drawn to the sound.
- Talking Heads. By Dave Sitek. When I was a kid, I was really into hardcore punk. Hardcore was very rigid. Talking Heads was the first band I remember telling my punk friends about, saying, "Yo, check this out!
- Carl Perkins. By Tom Petty. Carl Perkins' songs will outlive us all. On tracks like "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Honey Don't!" he took that country-picking thing into the rock world.
- Curtis Mayfield. By Boz Scaggs. If, in the late Fifties and early Sixties, you were drawn to that place on the AM radio dial where the rhythms, the grooves and the beautiful sounds of African-American soul were playing, you would have found Curtis Mayfield.

- The Rolling Stones. Next to the Beatles, no group has done more for the history of classic rock than the Rolling Stones. Dirtier, gutsier and bluesier than their '60s rivals, the Stones hit their peak in the late '60s and early '70s, when they released a string of albums -- starting with 1968's 'Beggars Banquet' and running through 1972's 'Exile on Main St.' --
- Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin started out as a blues tribute band from the ashes of the Yardbirds, but they quickly catapulted to the top of the rock world with increasingly more sophisticated and powerful albums.
- Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix did more for the electric guitar than anyone since Chuck Berry, finding new ways to assault, caress and wring noise out of the instrument that nobody knew was in there.
