I'm thinking we should have one each for the major music types so one for classical, blues, jazz and rock/pop.

Classical is a choice between Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, I reckon. Will give it to Mozart because he's in a major film.

Don't know much about blues or jazz, Googled a list of best performers in each and it came up with Bessie Smith and Miles Davis. Happy with the former, and it's nice to have a woman up there. Replaced Miles Davis wirh the second place on the jazz list, Louis Armstrong, as I reckon he's more accessible and better known.

Pop/rock has to be Elvis, really. Maybe Chuck Berry was more influential but Elvis is easily the most iconic modern musician.

So... Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley.

The problems with including anybody from Kraftwerk that firstly not many people know what they look like and secondly even when you do see what they look like it's pretty dull

That's why I'm going with Lemmy, Slash, Dolly Parton and Bootsy Collins

We'll all agree to tell Stevie Wonder he's up there too
