I'm a little rusty at sight-reading music, but I'm about 75% sure Ray's busting out the first bar of The Entertainer there in the first panel.

Quite correct -- but I can't identify the piece in the previous strip. I played it, and it's legit, but doesn't ring a bell.

It is only a strip such as Achewood in which the same comic which has the second panel in this one could also have the fourth panel.

Apparently Sony stopped updating their list of American musical legends sometime in the 1960s.

Bob Dylan, though still going strong, has practically become the 60's in the American consciousness. Try again.

David Bowie. Ian Curtis. Tori Amos. Billy Joel (maybe). Just off the top of my head.
Hendrix is overrated.

Billy Joel might stay around in the popular mind for a while, but I don't think he's going to ever be considered a musical legend, and, damn, I don't care if you like her or not, but Tori Amos? C'mon.
(You gotta thing for corny piano players, tekende?)
wait i sound like belgand here don't i

There you go, that is a good list.
And I'm sorry, but I don't think Hendrix is that good. He was a sloppy guitarist (occasionally that worked in his favor; his rendition of the national anthem is my favorite) and his singing sounded like he was trying to be Bob Dylan. Basically other than the national anthem and "All Along the Watchtower" (which is a Dylan song anyway) I don't really like his music at all.

He was innovative. He did things no-one else had ever done before, and which forever changed the sound of rock music. There is probably not a rock or metal band since that was not influenced by him to some degree. That's what makes him a legend.

The halls of American musical history reside within the walls of the Sony label apparently.
'cept for Elvis who was on the RCA label...
