The list includes icons such as elvis presley, jimi hendrix, bob dylan, bruce springsteen, janis joplin, the clash, michael jackson and many many more. interspersed among the artist names are certain key developments in technology, musical formats and corporate history - from the invention of early recording cylinders to vinyl, cassette, CD, radio, MTV, the sony walkman,
the iPod and the introduction of digital streaming services.
