    I think #39 is actually Eddie Cochran, based on his pose, hairstyle, and guitar. Bill Haley usually had a single curl on his forehead. #46 is Marc Bolan. #53 is Brian Wilson
    #62 is Sly Stone #63 might be Syd Barrett. #88 might be Tommy Ramone, I’m not so sure about that one.

      Thanks Andrew, my thoughts exactly about Bill Haley, always had that curl, just couldn’t possibly think of who else it could be

    I have to think #95 is Keith Moon based on his placement in ‘drummers row’

    Totally awesome, you should do Howard Teman’s “Metal” poster next (don’t worry there’s a lot fewer artists in that poster)

    Just a few things:
    -on your list, #94 and #95 are switched
    -I believe #170 is actually James Taylor, not Steve Marriott

    WOW, it’s complete. Making my younger brother look up/learn/memorize every person on the poster.
    Kudos!

    As of B.B. King’s death yesterday (14 May 2015), 62 of the 173 people on this poster are now deceased, just over a third.

    All of them brought so much great music for us, and continue to serve as inspirations for many musicians today.

    May they all Rock In Peace.
