- Quentin Singer
- Marillion. If progressive rock bands are supposed to be boring, nobody told Marillion. The making of their classic album Misplaced Childhood – in early 1985, at Berlin’s Hansa Studios – was effectively one almighty bender.
- Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam are grunge’s great survivors. Unlike Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and the other major bands from the Seattle scene’s graduating class of 1991, they’ve never gone away, either permanently or temporarily.
- Rainbow. It was with Deep Purple that Ritchie Blackmore became legendary, but his legacy extends far beyond Purple. With Rainbow – the band he formed after quitting Purple in 1975 – he made nine studio albums, including such classics as Rising and Down To Earth.
- Motley Crue. Perhaps it was their manager, Doc McGhee, who best summed up Mötley Crüe. Recalling the years when he handled the business affairs of these self-styled Bad Boys of Hollywood, McGhee stated in the Crüe’s autobiography, The Dirt: “I spent 10 years of my life apologising for that band.

- 1969: The Beatles. Don't Edit. Monty Fresco. The Beatles began 1969 with what would be their final live performance on the rooftop of the Apple Records building.
- 1970: Led Zeppelin. Don't Edit. Courtesy of Everett Collection. The Beatles were still ruling the charts in 1970 with “Let It Be” (both the single and album).
- 1971: Led Zeppelin. Don't Edit. Handout. There’s a reason Zeppelin earned the nickname “The Biggest Band in the World” during a large portion of the 1970s. No one could come close to what Zeppelin was doing in 1971 with the release of “Led Zeppelin IV” and its tour de force “Stairway to Heaven.”
- 1972: The Rolling Stones. Don't Edit. The Plain Dealer Archives. It took a massive double album to earn The Stones the status of the biggest and best band in the world.
- The Beatles. The Beatles are unquestionably the best and most important band in rock history, as well as the most compelling story. Almost miraculously, they embodied the apex of the form artistically, commercially, culturally and spiritually at just the right time, the tumultuous '60s, when music had the power to literally change the world (or at least to give the impression that it could, which may be the same thing).
- The Rolling Stones. When the Beatles ceased to exist in 1970, the title of “World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band” fell with very little dispute to the Rolling Stones, who by then were in the middle of such a wondrous creative peak that they might have challenged the Fab Four for the title anyway.
- U2. Ireland’s U2 is the most important and influential band of the post-punk era, joining ringing guitar rock, punkish independence, Celtic spirituality, innovative production techniques and electronic experimentalism — all held together by singer/lyricist Bono’s transcendent vision and charisma.
- The Grateful Dead. Out on the road today/I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac/A little voice inside my head/Said ‘don’t look back, you can never look back.’
