Petty stood tall on stage and commanded numerous bands of highly skilled musicians. He stood aside the likes of Mike Campbell, Stevie Nicks, George Harrison, Roy Orison, and Bob Dylan, just to name a few, and allowed them to lead on their instruments while he performed his own songs masterfully and passionately. Since his passing, Tom Petty's music has seen a resurgence, mostly coming from a younger audience that would have otherwise not explored his music.
Billy Gibbons
Billy Gibbons or ZZ Top is an immortal figure in the rock and roll world that has only been receiving more notoriety as time goes on.
Gibbons formed ZZ Top when he was 20 years old. He shared a brief relationship with Jimi Hendrix before he passed, and he was considered to be an aficionado at a very young age. Nowadays, Gibbons isn't as popular as he was, but his unique appearance and musicianship have landed him space in with the elites.
Neil Young
Neil Young is one of those rockstars that you have probably heard of but never truly dug into. This Canadian hit the scene in the 60s with a heart of gold and a voice to match it.
