Based on: Songwriting, performance, vocals, creativity/originality and impact on popular music.

1. Beatles
2. Zepplin
3. Stones
4. Metalica (maybe 3 instead.... time will tell) Metalica may go down as one of the last big impact bands.

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Pink Floyd

3. There's other bands? Damn, I need to get out more.

Metallica doesn't belong on the list, IMHO.

Not that I don't (or didn't) like Metallica. I've got a few albums.

U2
Beatles

In no particular order...

Beatles
U2
Rolling Stones

The not-so-obvious choices:
Run-DMC
Nirvana
Prince and the Revolution

Biggest impact on current "popular" music?
Matchbox Twenty (yes, I'm sick of them and everyone that sounds like them and no I don't consider them one of the best of all time... just fitting a whine in)

My woman used to live near Simon Le Bon, apparently he walks to the local off licence (thats liquor store to yanks) and if the other customers dont recognise him he starts whistling "The Reflex".

I always wished he'd be in there the same time as me so I could ignore him and wait for Rio to start being whistled......then turn round and say "Hey, I remember you, you're that fella who hit the bum note at Live Aid."
