The essays on these top 100 artists are by their peers: singers, producers and musicians. The resulting list of 100 artists, published in two issues of Rolling Stone in 20, and updated in 2011, is a broad survey of rock history, spanning Sixties heroes (the Beatles) and modern insurgents (Eminem), and touching on early pioneers (Chuck Berry) and the bluesmen who made it all possible (Howlin’ Wolf). In 2004 - 50 years after Elvis Presley walked into Sun Studios and cut “That’s All Right” - Rolling Stone celebrated rock & roll’s first half-century in grand style, assembling a panel of 55 top musicians, writers and industry executives (everyone from Keith Richards to ?uestlove of the Roots) and asking them to pick the most influential artists of the rock & roll era.
