Talking Just discovered The White Stripes/Rock-expedition!

I am usually a Hip-hop/RAP kind of dude (Eminem, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Fugees) but i have a modest taste for rock like Green Day, Oasis, Led Zeppelin and The Offspring. I've just discovered The White Stripes and i am in love! Recently i've developed this weird obsession with Judd Apatow and Jason Reitman and his films in particular Juno and been trying to see where they are coming from by trying to listen to more rock music. I found it hard to get in to The Who and Pink Floyd but i was amazed at what i've been missing with The White Stripes i listened to Elephant, De Stijl, White Blood Cells and Get Behind me Satan straight and loved them all i like how they were quite dynamic with their style and changed it up once in a while it's how i like to think of my self.

Anyways this is turning out to be quite an adventure, a "Rock Expedition" per say, i want to learn more about rock music. I've checked out so far....
*Styx
*Guns N' Roses (Greatest hits i liked it)
*The Beatles (There's a lot to listen to) - i'm liking a lot of the songs like Jude
*The Ramones - i've only seen the greatest hits which so far has been sounding all quite similar with exception of a string of really good ones
*The White Stripes wooh four Albums rocked!
*Led Zeppelin - I've been loving Led Zeppelin IV since before; i checked out the How the West was Won, the songs were great but i don't really care for on stage albums i dunno please convince me.
*Nirvana a couple of fantastic songs not really feeling the others
*Pink Floyd the greatest hits wasn't working for me apparently its the vanguard and innovative style of the bad that was great at the time and that you gotta listen to the albums which are more of "concept albums". I did listen to "Dark Side of the Moon" from start to finish intermittently it was a much more different experience. I'm not done with them yet, i don't want to miss out potentially miss out on something potentially great.
*Wolf Mother, since i'm Australian (well for the least i live in Australia) i've heard of Wolf Mother and have loved some of their songs for ages. Now that i've listened to their actual albums i've loving them more their style is great.
*Oasis - i love the greatest hits haven't check out the rest
*Green Day always listened to

Might check out soon
*Kiss
*The Rolling Stones
*Bob Dylan
*The Stooges, Patti Smith and The Run Aways (Juno love)
*Metallica
*AC/DC
*The Fray
*Fleetwood Mac
*The Melvins
*David Bowie
*Iggy Pop
*The Carpenters
*Journey
*Maybe Nine Inch Nails MAYBE
*Sonic Youth
