In your humble opinion who are 5 people Rock music would have never survived without (The heros of Rock music)?

Hello there,

1) Charlie Christian. This guy made the electric guitar popular.

2). Leo Fender. Need I explain what Leo did with guitars and amps?

3) George Fullerton. In case you don't know, the guy who worked with Leo all those years to develop the Fender guitars and amps.

4) Dick Dale. The king of loud. Yes, most folks call him the king of surf. Probably true, but more importantly he was the king of loud. He was the guy who had Leo put 2 speakers in his amp and crank up the power.

5) Jim Marshall. Surely this guy needs no introduction. He took Leo's Bassman and turned into the amp that rocked the world.

There have been a lot of great guitarists, singers and song writers, but not as important as the guys who gave us the tools. Dick gets in there not because he is one of the all time greatest guitar players, but because of his contribution. The ideas for amps and speaker cabs that he told his budyy Leo about.

No. Unless if they cite Satanic religious beliefs in the song, then that band may be Satanic. Other than that, as a genre, rock is not Satanic, same with Metal, Death Metal, Heavy Metal. For all you know, Nicki Minaj can be a freaking Satanist and you wouldn't even know that Kanye West's songs are about Satan.

Paul McCartney

Jimi Hendrix

Elvis Presley

Kurt Cobain

John Lennon
