Pete Townshend
Anyone into English rock will definitely know the name Pete Townshend. This singer and guitarist was born on May 19, 1945 in Middlesex, England. He is reportedly an intense person and was allegedly the first man to smash a guitar onstage. This controversial figure is definitely deserving a spot on our list. He is best known for his The Who work, but it is also worth mentioning his promising solo career afterward. Interestingly, did not get a solo when he was playing with the band. The Who boasted of a complicated style that placed emphasis on bass and drums, so his contributions were on the limited side. He is best known for the following tracks: “Summertime Blues”, “I Can See for Miles”, and “My Generation”.

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Stevie Ray Vaughan was born on October 3, 1954 in Dallas, Texas. We know that he looks like he ate something extremely sour as he played guitar behind his back, although you can bet that nothing sucked about his music. Even though he is known for mixing rockabilly and jazz together, he was also influenced by the likes of B. B. King, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix. His most popular works would be “Cold Shot”, “Looking at Little Sister”, and “Love Struck Baby”. It was truly tragic when he died in a chopper crash back in 1990. Otherwise, he bet he would have had more hit songs under his belt.
