Okay. Just to clarify, I am doing this based on them being the greatest bands. For me that is a combination of influence and songwriting ability. Doesn't mean it lines up with my favorites.

The Beatles
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Who (Putting them here because I feel their music was more revolutionary during the 60s than during the 70s.)
The Doors
The Rolling Stones
70s
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Pink Floyd (but I like Yes better)
The Ramones
Deep Purple
80s

Smashing Pumpkins
Dream Theater
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
