Country:  | Ok... I've taken the best band from each decade starting with the sixties then divided that with the genre that they perfected added the best from each country and interspersed that with the difference between girl bands, boy bands and hair bands, mixed in best singer, best guitar and best roadie then compared them to Sinatra and combined album cover art with tonal quality and mayonaise and I get......

| Beatles: they are the Bible of rock, even Dylan admitted it...
Although being a generation too young I discovered them late: my memories start with Genesis, Pink Floyd, CSN&Y, The Band, Jefferson Airplane (and related Starship, Hot tuna etc.) , Allmann Brothers, Nitty Gritty (yes, I also like country rock!), Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Frank Zappa & Mother of Inventions, before I steered in the English-Gaelic-Irish folk.
And Jacques Brel, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Fabrizio de Andre' as chansonniers.

Country: | I'd have to agree, the Beatles kick arse. But still, they werent as hardcore as AC/DC!
It was a hard choice, so many good bands, but AC/DC won it for me in the end.

Country: | That is a good one. That's another thread we should make. SONG WHICH MOST REMINDS YOU OF SUMMER. Or GREATEST PARTY SONG.

Country: | Personally reckon that Stones and Cream are the real origins. Dont get me wrong the BEatles had some quite heavy tracks for their time. I have the entire catalogue pretty much so Im fan  | |
