Ummm hmmm you don't specify the particular nature of this rocking you speak of hee hee so I will choose to approach it from a slightly different angle if it is all right :-)

#1 Harlan Ellison
#2 Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
#3 Albert Einstein
#4 Ian Anderson
#5 Roger Waters
#6 Bob Dylan
#7 Isaac Asimov
#8 Edwin Hubble
#9 Fred Gitelman
#10 Richard Lemm

It's exceedingly unlikely anyone here will have heard of the last 2- just the way I like it, a little mystery lol. Also, honorable mentions go to W.A. Motzart and J.S. Bach but they don't make the list, after all, what have they done for me lately ? lmao

If things get raunchy lol I will post a totally different list ;-)
