Just tought I try put a thread up for all the must know artist. All the artist that had a very impact on music at the time and all the people who pushed the boundaries of music or had major influences on other groups at the time. Old guys help out.

Kool DJ Herc, the godfather of hip-hop, was born in Jamaica in 1955. He moved to the Bronx in 1967, at the age of twelve. With his unique playlist of R&B, soul, funk, and obscure disco, Herc quickly became the catalyst of the hip-hop way of life. The kids from the Bronx and Harlem loved his ghetto style, which gave birth to the concept of the B-Boy. The B-Boy -- or beat boy, break boy, Bronx boy -- loved the breaks of Kool Herc, and as a result soon created break dancing. These were the people of the hip-hop culture. -jahsonic

Brian Peter George St. Jean le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, usually given as Eno, (born May 15, 1948), is an electronic musician, producer, and music theorist who started his musical career with Roxy Music. He then went on to produce a number of highly eclectic and increasingly ambient electronic and acoustic albums. He is widely cited as coining the term "ambient music" in his Ambient series (Music for Airports, The Plateaux of Mirror, Day of Radiance and On Land). Eno describes himself primarily as a "non-musician" and is indeed best known for "treating" instruments rather than playing them himself. His skill at using "The Studio as a Compositional Tool" (the title of an essay by Eno) led in part to his career as a producer. His methods were recognized at the time (mid-70s) as being unique, so much so that on one album he contributed to (Genesis's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) he is credited with "Enossification." -wikipedia

Robert Johnson- an intensly passionate bluesman that was the number one influence of current stars like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards. The red hot chili peppers took their name from one of his songs. He only made 28 songs, so you only need to buy one or two cd's. King of the Delta Blues singer, or "The Complete Recordings".

Trent Reznor- where would industrial be without him?

Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presely- If it werent for these tow guys, some of the rock and roll we listen to today would be totally different. You can root punk, hard rock, and Psychobilly back to these guys.

Alice Cooper- The guy who started shock rock and changed a generation.
