    Armando Gallo took the best Genesis and related photos ever

    I love his work. And of course, his wondeful book 'I Know What I Like'

    Annie Leibowitz at Rolling Stone in the 1970s and 1980s did some great stuff including those amazing shots of Lennon and Yoko shortly before John's murder. Also she's rumoured to have inspired "Memory Motel" so what other rock photographer could lay claim to such a footnote?

    Halfling Halfin? You mean the man who gave us the 'spectacular/amazing/ mindblowing' artwork to Zep's How the West was won, earns a place next to Mick Rock, Anton Corbijn or Jim Marshall? ...let me laugh.

    Henry Diltz.

    I had a spare Linda McCartney 2007 Calendar. 2018 has the same breakdown of dates so am using it as my calendar this year; Twiggy, Crosby, Paul, John, Pete T., Traffic, Doors, Jimi, Nico, Tim B., Janis and Beatles. Great stuff.

    All those mentioned already deserve to be on the list. I would add Joel Bernstein.
