What traditional path are you talking about? There were plenty of musical revolutionaries prior to the late 50s. I mean, even if you ignore most of the thousands of years of musical history leading up to that point and just focus on, say, the 20s through the mid 50s, you're still talking about a time period when everyone from Charlie Parker to Alban Berg to Little Richard to Harry Partch were out there blazing trails that were arguably a lot more revolutionary than some of the classic rock you're naming in his thread.
