Began as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Metamorphosis would have been another good name for Fleetwood Mac, as that is exactly what they did from the traditional British blues band that gave them their start to pop's mainstream blockbuster seller.

Marley is not only a pioneer because he single handily brought reggae to the world, but his music has become the meter for which all reggae music is gauged. Marley, with the help of Jimmy Cliff, formed the Wailers in 1963 (originally a vocal quartet) and launched their first single "Simmer Down," the biggest Jamaican hit of 1964. They shortly after disbanded and Marley left for the states to be near his mother.

In the Top 100 Albums of All Time Marley was recognized one time.

Box Sets contain hit Berry singles such as "Roll Over Beethoven" "Nadine" "Johnny B. Goode " and "Sweet Little Sixteen"

A rocker of the people, his fervent and sincere insight about everyday life, especially in America's small towns and the working class heart-land, made him a rock & roll superstar in the 80's. His life represented American way; his mother a secretary, his father a bus driver, his home in an average New Jersey town, and his success, fortune and fame all self-made by the sweat of his brow and artistic vision. He is a true believer in rock & roll and its mythic past and considered to be among the most thoughtful and articulate artists in rock. In the Top 100 Albums of All Time, Springsteen was recognized twice.

In the late 60's Sly and the Family Stone exploded into rock & roll with their unique and never before seen hybrid of pop, soul, and rock that drew white and black audiences alike.

In the Top 100 Albums of All Time, Sly & the Family Stone were recognized one time.

At the beginning of the 80's U2 began as an unknown alternative group and ended the century as one of the most popular bands on earth. Their songs tackle social and spiritual matter with an open, and very often, tender urgency.

In the Top 100 Albums of All Time, U2 was recognized twice.

Neil Young is one of the classic artists that is constantly being rediscovered by young fans and musicians each year.

His subject matter and writing style are sometimes unpredictable, but he has been known to shift from personal confessions to allusive stories. He is truly a rock & roll icon.

The Clash was able to take the raw energy and anger from the British punk rock scene and manipulate it to their own political and artistic agenda. They were not only rebels with a cause, but rebels with longevity as they outlasted all of their peers in length and career depth. Their style of music drew from such genres as funk, reggae, and even rap, but they always kept their music punk rock with their songs short and to the point; most under three minutes. In the Top 100 Albums of All Time, The Clash was recognized one time.
