With all respect, CB, when I want "ground-breaking," I'll hire a guy with a shovel. Actually, if ground-breaking is the yardstick, neither Elvis or the Fab Four were ground-breaking, they simply took the sounds of others through to the mainstream.
I agree with them being recognized as "artists or the decade." But, IMO, if we cite the Sex Pistols for the 70s, then, we ought to take another look at Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Hank Williams for earlier ground-breaking.
As for "rap," I do not recognize it as music and have nothing but contempt for it. Pardon me if this seems on the wishy-washy side.
Hey, ear of the beholder, right? As "The King" informed us....."There's good rockin' tonight!"
