#0903: Buddy Holly | With his signature vocal hiccup and hits like “That'll Be the Day,” “Rave On,” “Peggy Sue” and “Not Fade Away,” Buddy Holly was a rock & roll pioneer, as well as one of the genre's first great singer-songwriters. He used the recording studio for doubletracking and other advanced techniques, and popularized the two guitars, bass, and drums lineup. Holly's playful, mock-ingenuous singing, with slides between falsetto and regular voice, was a major influence on Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and numerous imitators. When he died in an airplane crash at 22, he had been recording for less than two years.

#0908: Lynyrd Skynyrd | The quintessential Southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, rose to prominence in 1973, full of regional pride and stressing cocky, boisterous hard rock as opposed to the Allman Brothers' more open-ended blues. Their signature song, “Freebird,” complete with it fiery five-minute, three-guitar solo, is easily the most requested live song in existence. When the band broke up in 1977, after Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines died in a plane crash, rock suffered a tremendous loss.

The sound influenced thousands of bands and proved so durable that the Ramones more or less stuck to it for their entire career.
