John Cale
From his participation in minimalist godfather LaMonte Young's groundbreaking '60s work to his key role in creating the darkly hypnotic Velvet Underground, John Cale was a trailblazer before he ever even embarked on a solo career. On his own, he melded proto-punk, folk-rock, and the avant-garde, and has created one of the most fascinating, literate, and uncompromisingly varied bodies of music in rock. As a producer, he's been equally influential, working with everyone from the Modern Lovers and Patti Smith to Squeeze.
