Your lists are pretty accurate Frankie. i am very pleased to see OPETH on the 2000 list!..what a great band eh?
I would have added King Crimson (a group that bridged the 60s and 70s), John Lennon in the seventies to the extent that he was controversial and continued to write decent songs, and Shania Twain in the nineties...the number one selling artist for that decade that probably influenced countless women who are now pop stars or artists!
Neil Young has to be there for the 60s/70s for sure as well as Johnny Cash!...and no one can deny the impact of Paul Weller for the bands he created and his many musical styles!...I would even add AC/DC for their sheer influence on all those hard rock guitarists out there and massive overall popularity in general!

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
