This is hard but I think Chuck Berry and Michael Jackson should be consensus picks.

To round out my list I think maybe Bob Marley and Tupac, but that's solely based on popular resonance and not necessarily musical impact, in the sense of bringing something new or different that changed how musicians make music and had cross-genre impact.
