Alright, since you said 'rock n roll style' I won't feel bad about not including any artists from the multitude of other genres I love.

Elvis Presley would have to be there for being the guy who popularized Rock n Roll and took it from a sort-of popular thing to a world wide thing.

Chuck Berry for creating the rock n roll rhythm and defining its guitar licks.

Buddy Holly for being the greatest songwriter of the rock n roll era.

and lastly

Jerry Lee Lewis for being such an excellent performer, musician, and songwriter.

I'll stop being such a literal asshole and post another rushmore for sixties rock later.

I think since it'd be an American monument I'd have:

Elvis Presley
Bob Dylan
Gene Simmons (in KISS makeup)
Kurt Cobain or Bruce Springsteen

Four easily recognizable American rock pop culture icons. I think for it to sit well with the public, the time period has to span out a little. Notice the artists I listed. If this were a global monument it'd be more like this...

Elvis Presley
John Lennon
David Bowie (in some sort of odd makeup)
Bono

I think I'd be kind of a dick if I stuck 4 jerks that I like up there despite any concern of the public, I mean, I'm not the one who's going to be visiting it yearly to take pictures, buy shirts and postcards.

But, If I could have it my way...which would still span time...

Hank Williams
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Kurt Cobain

(Inspired by a question asked to Steve Vai in Guitar World magazine).

If you could choose 4 people in the history of rock and roll to erect in a Mount Rushmore of your own vision, who would they be?

If you don't know what Mount Rushmore is, go look in something called a book. Or Wikipedia. Whatever.

My choices:
Roger Waters (Cause he's such a fucking genius, man :F)
Jim Morrison (That one's a given; Poetry + Great showmanship = Instant choice)
George Harrison (Such a spiritual man :O)
And probably Jon Anderson (Singer of Yes as well as a fantastic poet).

Ah and one more thing:

THIS BETTER NOT TURN INTO A TOPIC FILLED WITH SEX. >:O

The Beatles
Better Dean the Bean?
