Disclaimer:
This is part of a series of polls I want to make. This set of musicians are those who were making rock music prior to the late 1970s/1980s, (That is why artists like Prince and Tina Turner are not featured on here). As well as this not including subgenres of rock like punk, metal, funk rock and so forth.
I also just wanted to make this so I could probably get some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.
Other Polls:
Punk
Metal
Randomly selected musicians in rock
