Thanks for the invitation.

My vote (or my choice for the list):
1-AC / DC
2-The Ramones
3-Patty Smith
4-Thin Lizzy
5-Tom Waits

All performers, my choice is based on their "undoubted influence and legacy" but I must confess that I also like very much Patti Smith, The Ramones and Thin Lizzy.

We'll see how this thread goes to add more comments ...

 

They are great artists so I don’t blame you!
