Funding....and the ideal place would be the black hills in south Dakota...
What if there was a Mount Rushmore for American rock and rollers? Yep, somewhere out there in Montana, Idaho, North Dakota etc, there they are carved out of stone...
Elvis
Bob Dylan
Chuck Berry
?
How about boxing, rasslin', jazz, actors, writers..hmmmm?

Hendrix
Chad Kroeger
rock n rollers: little richard, jimmi hendrix, chuck berry, ike turner and ray charles
Motown
The guy was amazing but he doesn't belong there.
Little Richard over Buddy Holly?
You'd have to have The Temps and The Supremes, that's a lot of heads.
That's dumb. Why?
I'm with you on Buddy Holly though.
Eric Clapton, Jim Morison, John Lennon
Who said it was dumb, I can see a case made for Hendrix. I just don't think he made the impact that...
Elvis
Dylan
Berry
Holly
...made on rock and roll. Keep in mind those guys were pretty much the founders of it with the exception of Dylan.
I'd have to also go with the above mentioned Little Richard before Hendrix.
American!!!!!!!
We can't just have Jim Morrison, we'd have to go with...The Doors.
I sais it was dumb. Hendrix made a huge impact. Extremely innovative. No other guitarist has made that big of an impact. That's not even a matter of opinion. It's a fact.
Everybody knows who the founders of rock 'n' roll are, wad.

This isn't about who was the greatest guitarists. Yes, Jimi Hendrix hands down. But....he was influensed by too many who came before him.
So tell me wad who recordeed what is considered the first rock & roll record? As you run of to Google.
You must not know anything about Little Richard....either.

We have already discussed the first rock 'n' roll record. Stop changing the subject. I'm not going to respond to your nonsense. Stay on topic. I'm not going to play this game with you. I'm not in the mood.
I don't give a what mood you're in...ok?
Jimi wasn't the pioneer that Little Richard was. Hendrix has talked about getting a lot of his stuff from flamboyant Guitar Slim.

a mount rushmore of rock and roll needs to span decades of growth into the 90s alternative scene. dylan is and always will be folk music to me.
berry, elvis, hendrix, alice cooper
those would be mine to span the genre as far as americans go.
you could even fit iggy pop somewhere in there.
If you look at Rolling Stone Mag Top 500 R&R Record Albums of all time Dylan has tons listed. While he did have folk/blues roots, he's rock.
I think we all agree on Elvis and Chuck Berry. Like I mentioned yes Hendrix can be argued. Alice Cooper?
i editted to include iggy pop as well.
rock has evolved into as much of a stage performance as the actual music. i don't think you can deny that.
I think it's going to take those who made the biggest impact in the genre. Not really about the evolution of the music more about the roots of it.
then your mountain would have nothing but blues artists if you're looking roots. i'm talking innovators throughout the times regardless of your personal taste or quality of music.
imo, the antics of the late 70s and 80s really escalated a backlash against rock evolution with grunge, post grunge, r&b etc into the 90s and into today. it really did have an impact.
While most know about the blues roots of rock nobody mistakes rockers for bluesmen. Chuck Berry would never be called a bluesman.
You have to look at who you talk about first when talking rock & roll. You cannot talk about the music and not talk Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Little Richard. You can talk about the music and never mention Iggy Pop or Alice Cooper. You would talk about The Crows before you would anyone post 1965.
If you were teaching the origins of the music look how many others you'd have talked about before Iggy and Alice.
