Musicians Who Set the Stage for Rock and Roll

Zappa is a strange character that you probably haven't heard too much about if you're a young person. Old people either loved him or despised him, but musicians revered him. Zappa was a composer, among being one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. He was notorious for conducting his band until exactly the right time, and then he would pick up his instrument. Without Zappa, music would have never reached its instrumental peak by modern artists, and he hasn't even played a show since 1989. 

Johnny Rotten

The Sex Pistols were another polarizing band. Either you loved them, or you hated them, but most people hated them. Despite that, it is undeniable what they did for punk music in modern times.
