Musicians Who Set the Stage for Rock and Roll

Janis Joplin was like the Patti Smith of psychedelic rock. Joplin left nothing on the stage, emotionally. She did not exhibit the explosive masculine force that the others on this list might have put forward, but her authenticity and attention to detail were unparalleled. Joplin was unafraid to be who she was, both on stage and in the studio, and for that, we love her.
