The Observer has an article about the 50 defining moments in pop which is a good read and mentions some classic music & artists like Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and The Who. Unfortunately there's room for the Spice Girls in the list.
The defining moment in pop for me would be when R'n'B went from meaning rhythm and blues to rhythm and bass. Unfortunately I don't know when this actually happened. However today is a good chance to celebrate real R'n'B - it's Eric Burdon's birthday. I'm off for a pint.
