If I had to choose from this list, I'd pick Chuck Berry. My opinions on Elvis are so venomous that I'll keep them to myself.

I mentioned the obvious timeline of who was around first and Hendrix definatley was not. But who would deliver the biggest blow to Rock and Roll history if you took them out of the equasion? You just cant convince me that it wouldnt be Hendrix.
