Musicians Who Set the Stage for Rock and Roll

Jon Bon Jovi

Young Bon Jovi had the looks, the energy, and the sex appeal to drive a nation of supporters. Bon Jovi was continually scoffed at by critics for not being the most "instrumentally talented" rockstar. However, he progressively proved that he had what it took to be one of the greats. 

Bon Jovi's largest release was "Slippery When Wet," which drove an entire generation onto the American Rock and Roll train tracks and kept them rolling along. Bon Jovi still prides himself on being a very good boy. He lives a drug and alcohol-free life, and he is extremely philanthropic with his concert earnings. 

Pat Benatar 

Pat Benatar was one of the '80s most prolific lead singers, and arguably one of the greatest in history, and she has dozens of gold and platinum awards to prove it. She was a megastar who has yet to be matched by a modern musician.
