I like way too many types of "rock" (by your definition) music, "It's Hard" to pick a top 10. A lot of this stuff I don't listen to much any more but when you've been around 48+ years and love music; life experiences get associated the music you were listening to at the time...from childhood (The Beatles, Neil Diamond, Eagles, Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel), teen (Foreigner, Prince, U2, Petty, hair metal), college (Zeppelin, Doors, Cure, Smiths), old man status (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Bon Iver) etc....it burns an indelible mark on your psyche. With that said, that's a good desert island rock playlist.
HM: The Cure, Springsteen, Paul Simon (and Garfunkel), The Police, Father John Misty, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, RHCP, The Doors, The Who, Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Bowie, Neil Young, Alice In Chains, STP, Sublime, Depeche Mode, Foreigner, Journey, Boston, The Carpenters, The Smiths, Guns N Roses, Tom Petty, Weezer, Ratt, Def Lepard, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Queensryche, Queen, Bee Gees, REM, etc.

I think we all have HM lists that are a mile long, but it's a fun experiment to get a large number of people do their desert isle top 10 favorite rock bands. "Either way, it will be interesting" TM.

Harv (RIP) and I went round and round on The Who v. Led Zeppelin back in the Pit (RIP) era.
Zeppelin had the greatest pieces together in one band.

Harv (RIP) and I went round and round on The Who v. Led Zeppelin back in the Pit (RIP) era.
Zeppelin had the greatest pieces together in one band.
Plant = Daltry; Daltry was a more excited performer but didn't really write any songs; I think Plant was a decent songwriter. Vocals is a tie for me.
Page = Townshend; Page better guitar player although I love Townshend style; Townshend better songwriter by a mile.
Entwistle > JPJ - Not even close here.
Bonham = Moon; Moon is my all time favorite drummer, but this is pretty much a tie.
I'd argue Zeppelin is a more "important" band in rock history, but I could have seen any of them live in the their prime (wasn't born until late 70's), I'd go with the Who every time. Actually saw the Who in 2000 at the Gorge before Entwistle died from hookers and blow. They weren't too bad for being old geezers.

Saw them both live. Jimmy Page made Zep far superior

Page more virtuoso. But loudest rock concert on record was The Who. Plus i love windmills and guitar smashing.

Christina Hendricks is up there.
And either Heidi Klum or Elle MacPherson.
