I should have specified, musicians you've heard play, either recorded or live, and created a separate category for composers / musicians who you haven't heard play, but know their works. Does that make sense ?

Like:

Composers:

Bach
Beethoven
Mozart
Papa Hyden

Musicians:

Gene Krupa
Chuck Berry
John Lennon
Paul Mcartney

Oh well I still like everyone's "Mounts" !

Today's pop composers/musicians are comparable to the pre-classic era minstrels before 1600. Maybe some exposed rocks in Cleveland, near the RRHOF would be more appropriate.
