| Summary: | Our Rock and Roll Love Blueprint celebrates over 1400 musicians, artists, songwriters and producers who have been pivotal to the evolution of the sprawling genre that is rock music. From the early debt owed to blues, gospel, jazz and country performers like Ma Rainey, Lead Belly, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Woody Guthrie who paved the way for rock and roll pioneers like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis who in turn inspired a generation including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and The Velvet Underground and continue to inspire musicians today like The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys and St Vincent. The print also celebrates the places that were focal points for scenes (Cavern Club and Merseybeat, The Gaslight Cafe and Greenwich Village folk scene, CBGB and punk and Eric's and post-punk), the designers and artists who influenced the aesthetics (Hipgnosis and Pink Floyd, Jamie Reid and Sex Pistols, Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground) and the inventors of rock’s essential musical instruments (Leo Fender, Les Paul, Jim Marshall, Dick Denney). |
