The Moog Synthesizer comes in at number 60: "Robert Moog debuted his synthesizer, which used analog circuits to generate sound electronically, at the Audio Engineering Society Convention of 1964, but the $15,000 instrument was slow to catch on among musicians. It was only in 1967, after Moog's West coast sales team, comprised of electronic music enthusiasts Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause, demonstrated it at the Monterey Pop Festival that the innovative keyboard became a must-have for the biggest names in rock-and-roll. Without it, the Doors' Strange Days, Simon & Garfunkel's Bookends and the Beatles' Abbey Road would have sounded much different."
