Wondering who people would consider the five most important people to impact rock/metal ever.
I can't put mine in order but if you'd like to try with your own away you can work.
Mine would probably be(in no real order):

Tony Iommi
John Bonam(dont think i spelt that write but he's still important)
Cliff Burton
Angus Young
Roger Waters
Why I find these icons important is really because they are all excellent musicians and all had a great vision of what people wanted and how to work at it to drive five excellent bands on to what they are known as and for today.

In No Partickler Order...

1. Robert Johnson
2. Willie Dixon

And (slightly, slighty) more contemporary figures

3. Joey Ramone
4. Lulu
5. John Lennon

One of those I threw in just to shake things up.

Well this definetly seems like nothing but another postwhoring thread we can do without, there's been absolutely no merit for discussion whatsoever.
