Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry was born on October 18, 1926, and the American musician is considered to be a pioneer of rock and roll. We’re sure you know his famous songs “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Rock and Roll Music,” “Johnny B. Good,” and “Maybellene.” His music had certain rhythm and blues influences, but he tweaked them to make the rock and roll music we all know and love. His lyrics made the connection between teenage angst and rock music clearer when he sang about daily struggles, teen life, and consumerism.

Buffalo Springfield
Buffalo Springield was only active from 1966 to 1968, though we will never forget the band for releasing “For What It’s Worth.” Its famous members are none other than Neil Young, Stephen Stills, and Richie Furay. They combined country, rock, folk, and psychedelic elements that contributed to the revitalization of the folk rock genre. The abrupt breakup was caused by lineup changes and drug-related arrests, though they still managed to be inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later on.
