His iconic track Rumble was so powerful, it got banned from the radio for fear it would incite violence! Wray's pioneering use of power chords laid the groundwork for punk and heavy metal. Legends like Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page have hailed him as a major influence. Without Link Wray, the soundscape of modern rock would look very different.
