WOW These are all great picks, and I agree with them all (with a few exceptions-just a matter of taste). Diablo when you ask a question like this I agree you have to consider AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, and many others. But when you say-you put it on and automatically "crank it up" I gotta say dam near anything by ZZ Top, but one I have listed as one of my favorites is Def Leppard-Pyromania.
But then again what about Aerosmith, Bad Company, 38 Special, and Gary Moore-(blues-but close enough to rock for me)?
I.......CAN'T.....DO...IT.............JUST.....PICK..........ONE
