1. The 20TH CENTURY ARTISTS AND BANDS
“THE BEATLES “
The Beatles have to be one of the
most iconic influences in rock music history.
With a career that lasted through some of the
most musically relevant decades, record sales
that dwarf some small countries’ GDP, and still
having a huge influence on musicians today,
The Fab Four have a track record that is hard
to top.
2. The 20TH CENTURY ARTISTS AND BANDS
“ ROLLING STONES “
The Stones had a more noticeable edge to
their music, influencing generations that came after
them and probably being seen as more of a pure
rock band than The Beatles. The Stones are often
looked at as the godfathers of modern rock music.
The heavy blues influence is obvious and has given
rise to a new generation of blues rock, popularising
the rock and roll lifestyle.
3. The 20TH CENTURY ARTISTS AND BANDS
“ ELVIS PRESLEY “
Elvis Aaron Presley, often referred to
mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and
actor. Known as the "King of Rock and Roll", he is
regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of
the 20th century. Presley's energized interpretations of
songs and sexually provocative performance style,
combined with a singularly potent mix of influences
across color lines during a transformative era in race
relations, led him to both great success.
4. The 20TH CENTURY ARTISTS AND BANDS

"Satch", and "Pops",[2] was an American trumpeter
and vocalist. He was among the most influential

several eras in the history of jazz.[3] He received
numerous accolades including the Grammy Award
for Best Male Vocal Performance for Hello, Dolly! in
1965
