All-time favourite rock bands?

[hellkat]

Half the time I never know who the band is anyway, I just know when I like a song.

Then when I say "who's singing this, then...?" people look at me in horror/scorn and tell me.

It is to my shame that having been drinking with the co-writer of Motorhead's Iron Horses for several years (not Lemmy, I hasten to add) - I had never heard the song until about 9 months ago *blush* ... I dare not admit it to him, LOL

Other than that: I could probably recognise songs from most of the above, particularly Pink Floyd, Led Zep, the Stones, Status Quo, Hendrix, early Queen (anything before News of the World), several American bands noted above (Doobies, Lynyrd, ZZ Top) ... and recently I have discovered I quite like the Scorpions.
