70 Years of Rock and Metal represented by 100 of the most popular and influential bands and artists; past, present and future. Each bar signifies the band’s active years from their first single to their break-up and the colour(s) represent the band’s genre(s). I’m sure there are plenty of bands that people think may or may not deserve to be on the list, but these are the acts I personally think represent all genres, decades and importance of Rock music.

Forever
Unforgettable stars and artists who’ve all passed away tragically and young, but forever frozen in time. This video is dedicated to them ❤️
Repost from a few years ago.
On this day in 1959:
“A plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa kills Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson and the incident becomes known as The Day the Music Died.” They were on tour together, and because the tour bus was unheated (one of the members of Holly’s band developed frostbite), Holly arranged for a plane to take some of them to the next stop on the tour.

Buddy Holly - Oh, Boy! - 1957
Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison jamming in Liverpool in late 1959 while they were still the Quarrymen.
John Hanrahan: Do you keep in contact with Paul and Ringo?
George Harrison: Yeah, yeah. I’ve seen them both a lot, and they’re well. You know, I think with our age as well [we’ve] mellowed out. There was a period of time where Paul and I didn’t get on very well, but we’re great friends now, and I think time slips away, and we realise that. It sort of comes back around, the cycle. I mean I was – I met Paul when I was 13 years old or 12 years old, you know, at school. So there’s much more fun and good experiences that we’ve shared than the bad ones.
Hanrahan: Is there ever any chance that you might come back and do a record together in some form? I mean everybody would like it obviously.
George:Well the first stage seems to have happened inasmuch as Paul and I are good friends now. The next stage is if we can pick up a couple of guitars and sing a few old Buddy Holly tunes together. Who knows? We may be able to knock out a tune or two, and if we can get that far then what’s to stop us getting in the studio together for one reason or another, but it would never – it would never be anything like some great big reunion album or concert. I think we’re passed that stage. We’re just thankful to be able to be friendly, and if we can actually produce a tune or something you know, that’s a nice little song, that would be enough.
Hanrahan: Why the ghost of Buddy Holly? Why would he –
George: Well it’s just that when we were kids and got our guitars, we were into all those early Elvis, Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, and I mean that’s the kind of thing where if we were to get in a room, picked up a guitar, we’re more likely to sing uh, Peggy Sue than we are to sing Yesterday.
