And phsychedelia, and pop...Alt Rock nevver struck as a truly viable genre. And it's obviously not pure rock. Funk-Rock is their actual genre.

Alt Rock didn't? ROCK didn't. "Rock" as a general term has absolutely no distinguishing stylistic criteria. "Rock" doesn't tell you what instruments will be used, what vocal style, what time signature/beat, or anything else. Terms like Rock, Punk, Hip-Hop and Country have a lot more to do with cultural associations than firm stylistic grounds. You can say that the Chilis are not a prototypical rock band. But by association and cultural standing, they most definitely qualify as "rock".

It's not good form to revive old arguements. Anyway, there are tons of things that are associated with rock(Musically I mean), such as penatonic scales, a strong back beat and prominent vocal melody. As to rock not indicating instruments used, almost every rock band ever has has drums, bass, guitar, and some other instrument, usually keyboard, mellotron, and synthesizers.

I'm glad someone put Kinks above the Beatles, I feel that they are possibly the most under-rated band ever and are at least on a par with the beatles too bad they were overshadowed by the beatles the stones and the beach boys at their time.

anyway here's mine

but in NO particular order

The Kinks
Velvet Underground
The Beatles
The Cure
Rolling Stones
Smashing Pumpkins
The Jimi Hendrix Experience (aha u guys didnt think of that one did ya)
Muse
Clinic
Ambulance Ltd(hey its my list)
