1. Led Zeppelin

I don't really believe in the term "classic rock"; it's just a broad buzzword for radio stations that has no inherent meaning or genre. I mean, after all, your list includes a 1960s pop/psychedelia band, an '80s punk band and a '90s hard rock band somehow all crammed together under the same umbrella term. I just can't get behind it, no more than I can the term AOR/album-oriented rock.

Yes, Genesis, ELP, ELO, and Jethro Tull for progressive rock. Any other classic rock that I would like and listen to would usually be The Beatles and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Bon Jovi
Toto
Journey
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
U2
REO Speedwagon
Eric Clapton (including Cream and Derek & the Dominoes)
Queen
Bruce Springsteen
Bryan Adams

I may be young but I much prefer Rock (from any era) to today's pop and rap "music".
