I know... there's not enough to get everyone in five!
It depends how far back is "recent", too... I included Elvis, the Beatles and the stones, but say you're looking at only 20 years, my list would be different again...

I love Madonna, and you can't deny she influenced music especially the MTV generation, but she's not top 5.
