I am looking for a list of Artists who have changed the music world for ever. You don't even have to like them just list them. From people who introduced a new type of sound to artists who reached incredable pitches with their voice. I have tried countlessly to find just a list of artists online but I have had no success. I would really appreciate it if you the answers took the time to list who you felt changed the music world. Even if someone list them all I want everyone to contribute. The reason why I am doing this is because I want to load my ipod with tons and tons of different songs and artists so that if someone wants to listen to a band I can just click and play it for them and not have to just have music on my ipod that I like but music that other people will like as well. Thank you in advance.
Note: I am looking for artists not songs thank you :)

For the 20th century start with Louis Armstrong Any serious student of music must familiarize themselves with this jazz genius By the late 20's and early 30's his playing (jazz)and singing(scat) styles) had brought popular music truly into the 20th century. Before him, the melodies and lyrics of the popular songs of the day hadn't changed much from the end of the 19th century.
In my opinion, modern popular music (not only jazz) begins with this man. I can't express in words enough what
influence he has had on music.
