People nowadays seem to forget that black people actually did create rock n roll, .... which is the foundation of blues. Bo Diddley, chuck berry, robert johnson.. muddy waters, etc...
Who to you, are the best black rock artists in the past .. 50 years? this is for me.
50's - Chuck Berry (Bar None)
60's - Jimi Hendrix (No Suprise, the man is a genius)
70's - Actually, ... i'm stumped.
80's - (stumped again!) ?????
90's - Hootie and the blowfish/Lenny Kravitz
