you get the idea

I`d have to say

1.) Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody still blows my mind, Brian May one of my top 5 favourite guitarists)
2.) AC/DC (Angus great guitarist and great sounding
solos/riffs)
3.) Pink Floyd (David Gilmour/Rodger Waters...what can i say, excellent together)
4.)Guns N` Roses (Slash great guitarist, just a shame that knob Axl Rose stuffed them up)
5.) Jimi Hendrix (One of the best and influential guitarists i`ve heard)
6.) The Rolling Stones (Havent heard much of their songs but from what i`ve heard they are excellent)
7.) Lynyrd Skynyrd (Just listen to the solo in freebird, up there with the best)
8.) Velvet Revolver (Only 1 released album and it was good, they are legends in the making)
9.) Cold Chisel (Great aussie band)
10.) Creedence Clearwater Revival/Dire Straits (Couldn`t decide between the two, good bands nonetheless)

Led Zeppelin
The Who
The Rolling Stones
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Aerosmith
Guns `n Roses
U2

1. The Beatles - The Band that changed the face of music. They may seem like goody goody boys, but behind their appearance was music that was both catchy and Brilliant. Their influence can never be understated.
2. The Rolling Stones - Considered by many as the worlds greatest Rock band. They gave Rock the Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol image that many other great rock also have adopted. Some of their many hits have even become Rock N` Roll Classics.
3. Led Zeppelin - From the ashes of the Yardbirds (another legendary band), these guys killed the competition and broke many Records for music (Stairway to Heaven is the most requested song on broadcast radio, in history) they also reinvented the sound of rock.
4. The Who - One of the greatest of their time. They invented the Rock Opera and created many of Rock`s Greatest anthems. Plus, they were very crafy.
5. The Animals - One of the Greatest Bands spawned from the British invasion. They (like the others) have contributed numerous Rock N` Roll Classics and they are a Personal Favorite of mine.
6. The Yardbirds - First off, 3 of rock`s greatest guitar players came out of this group. 1.Eric Clapton 2.Jeff Beck and 3.Jimmy Page. Second, they were a very innovative band.
7. Queen - Their music is just so different, but at the same time, It just feels right. Without their Frontman Freddie however, they haven`t been able to charm their fans like they used to.
8. Aerosmith - My favorite band, they hold a special place in me. Their music changed my life and got me hooked on Rock in the first place.
9. The Doors - All I can say is that these guys were amazing at what they did. Light my Fire is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
10. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Yes it is a long name, but has grown to me because, in my life, I see it alot. For such a short amount of time this band was together, they made a lot of great music.

Honorable mentions... The Kinks, ZZ Top, ac/dc, The Police, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Guns N` Roses, Buffalo Springfield... list goes on
