Sorry all. Too many Killians. I really can't come up with anything after the Beatles, though. I'm an album man, not a band man.
geez manny your taste and mine are almost so similar its scary. i like every single band you listed very much except the beegees and i havent ever listened to the buzzcocks.
Led Zep and four other bands........let's see..... The Eagles Pink Floyd Aerosmith ZZ Top The Eagles were a no brainer for me (though I'm sure hardly anyone on this board will respect that). The other three I listed simply by virtue of the fact that I've listened to most of their albums over and over again.
No particular order and listed under duress, as I believe Bob Dylan and the Band should be allowable as should Neil Young and Crazy Horse and Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, but I'll play nice. The Who The Kinks The Pretenders Velvet Underground The Ramones Honorable mention: Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, KISS, The Band, Talking Heads, XTC, Utopia, Queen, Steely Dan, The Police, Blondie and about thirty others that don't readily come to mind. Top five local bands: Fleshmop Horseshoe de Schmog middlefinger JW Americana Honorable mention: Sprawl, Joint Chiefs, Keenlies, elevator up, Poor Dumb Bastards, Medicine Show, Two Star Symphony
Counting Crows Dave Matthews Band (Boyd Tinsley had a solo album) Creedence Clearwater Revival No Doubt Jefferson Airplane HM: Pulltab, SOAD, Evenescance, The Cranberries, Red Hot Chili Peppers

Well, I'm just a little younger than you and I haven't neglected the roots of greatness such as Led Zep, The Doors, AC/DC, CCR, etc. I'm not discounting the bands you said, I like some of them, but ya gotta listen to when Rock was in it's prime.
Damn. Add The Clash too. And The Beach Boys while we're at it. But not the Byrds (ruined too many Dylan tunes). Thanks, nyrocket.
good calls....I dont believe I forgot ACDC and The Who.. ugh..its late...please forgive me gods of music...
Elvis Costello and the Attractions The Replacements (probably the most underrated band of all time) Rolling Stones The Beatles Led Zeppelin
Not in any particular order... AC DC The Beatles Led Zep Metallica Nirvana Incubus The White Stripes Red Hot Chilipeppers No Doubt Smashing Pumpkins Mana (Mexican band) HM- Aerosmith, Green Day, Weezer, Sugar Ray, Linkin Park, Blink 182, AudioSlave...
