Elvis Presley
Frank Sinatra
James Brown
Little Richard
Chuck Berry.

Elvis Presley would have to be No.1 because it was he alone who broke down social and cultural barriers in 1950′s U.S.A. making it easier for all artists who followed in his footsteps. Further Elvis could, and did, sing in virtually every musical genre available to him. Elvis is still the template by which success is measured in the Music Industry. Simply THE BEST.

The difference between my four and other artists listed is that my four appealed to all cultures worldwide and they had a mass following ranging most age groups. Subsequently they permanently changed the music industry accordingly. On the other hand artists such as: Frank Sinatra, Led Zepplin, Johnny Cash, and Chuck Berry did not appeal to all cultures worldwide. Instead they only appealed to certain subcultures and they also did not possess the same amount of worldwide charisma as Hendrix, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and the Beatles. They were all great but their influence did not equal those four.

Elvis Presley(1950s)
The Beatles(1960s)
Jimi Hendrix(1960s)
Michael Jackson(1970s-early 1990s)

There’s no question that these four artists changed the dynamics of music worldwide during their time. Most people to this day still consider all of them phenomenal.

Hey Leslie: Your choices are awful. Mine are…….

1. Bill Hayley. He and his Comets brought the Blues to the masses.
2. Jagger/Richards. The Beatles might have been bigger in the 60′s, but The Stones eclipsed them in their long and storied careers.
3. Jimi Hendrix. Jimi inspired too many to list here, and took the guitar to places it will never see again.
4.Page/Plant. They took the Mississippi Delta sound and made it accessable just like Bill Hayley had done twenty years prior.
