Boy... in terms of impact, I'll go for Elvis, the Beatles, Queen, and KISS.

Elvis, because he opened the door for motion in a musician and introduced rhythm and blues to the "established" world.

Beatles because they expanded the realm. Do you realize how few years they actually played and recorded? And decades later they're still viable.

Queen because of musical approaches and musical investigation. Who else could get airplay for a mini-opera (Bohemian Rhapsody)? Look at their music and instrumentation, and it's always unique.

And KISS for bringing life to the stage. All real stage presence stems from KISS... all the theatrics and grandiose actions. Alice Cooper followed shortly after, but KISS fired the opening round... and continues to fire.
