Wow, there are soooo many! Muddy Waters, B. B. King, any blues group basically! Every band has something from the blues in it whether rock, pop, country, rap, etc.

well, as far as concert rock, i'd have to break it down into this:
greatest frontman that probably paved the way for awesome stage performances: robert plant
greatest guitarist that put an endless amount of emotion in every note he played: hendrix, (he is also the most influential of all guitarists)
Elvis is credited with bringing that style of music to the mass and making it popular but there were so many musicians that were making "rock and roll" like chuck berry and jerry lee lewis plus a bunch of black musicians that were branching away from blues
I agree with Josh Y
Mozart and Beethoven
i think you're missing the greatest one, it's gotta be the king, elvis presley...talk about revolutionizing rock and roll with one song, the jailhouse rock got the ball rolling on the genre all by itself
