I know this is a frightening task and I completely and prepared to have folks disagree with me. I attempted to take any bias out of this, so without any more wasting of time, here it is.

1. The Beatles – Really about the sole number most should be in a position to agree on. They electrified numerous bands in the future and were pioneers when they became gigantic. After they split up, all of them went on the have solid solo careers

2. The Rolling Stones – This band has stayed together forever, and have also put out a bluesy taste of rock ‘n’ roll. The past few years have been a little dodgy, but they’re sill solid. Songs like “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” have lived on as a classic.

3. The Who – Part of being a great band is display, and nobody did it better at the time than the Who. Also, their nine / eleven appearance simply robbed the show and gave folk the idea the Who still had it.

4. Led Zeppelin – Announced the post-Beatles time by dominating announcements with a great collection of songs.

They played a lot of complicated songs in that time, and even took themed music to a higher level.

5. U2 – Personally, I am not a big fan of the band. That shouldn’t keep them from being this high on the list though. The group personified the 1980s, led by Bono. They heralded the post-punk age.
