As you probably know by now, our Friday show is dedicated to the “How Music Changed” series, where we discuss one out of 250 specific artists from the past century who had a profound impact on the development of music. From time to time, we also discuss a few ‘honorable mention’ artists who don’t quite make our list of 250, but who deserve mention all the same. Today, we decided to compile a few artists from the pre-rock and roll era who managed to impact music – each in their own way, and often in ways that they never could have imagined.
