Pretty interesting that not a lot of mention of Deep Purple - who you could put up against most of who are mentioned
It is so hard to list 4. I am a metal head but hard to not put the Beatles on any list. I love a lot of the Stones old stuff but if you really listen, Jagger is awful
Queen is just so good to listen to. Van Halen was unique when they came out. Boston made a debut album in which every song was played on radio
The absolute beauty of music. I can still listen to Buddy Holly/Dion/DooWop just as easily as new metal and a lot in between
I'm not sure how the Black Keys haven't come up. I think they're easily the best band of this century (or millennium lol).
Other good recent ones include the Strokes and RHCP.
Rock is not what it used to be. For the past 20 or so years it has looked like popular music would pivot to hip hop or electronic or both, but I don't think any one genre has run away with things the way rock did in the 60s-80s/90s.

Can you imagine what they were like with Moons?
.. as long as it wasn't on a night that Moon took elephant tranquilizers! (don't know why he thought that was a good idea)
I've seen the Who with Zak Starkey quite a few times and he would make his Godfather Keith very proud. I'm sure he makes his dad, Ringo, proud.
Interestingly, Zak has been the drummer for the Who longer than Keith was. Of course it's different..
Keith was a large part of the reason the Who played with so much energy. Pete or Roger have said, the others had to keep up with him (at least on the nights when he wasn't on tranquilizers).
My favorite music by the Who was recorded in the 70s.
Between 1970 and 1973, they recorded Who's Next ('71), which is considered by many to be one of the top rock albums of all time (my favorite) and Quadrophenia ('73). But within that same time period they also recorded songs like: The Seeker ('70), Long Live Rock, Join Together, Pure and Easy, etc., which didn't make it onto those 2 classic albums.
Some great Who songs were recorded around the same time as Who's Next, but were left off due to the physical size limitations of vinyl (and they didn't want that album to be another double, following Tommy).

Can anyone here play the drums???
Haha. The show must go on!
On a side note, back in my younger crazier days, a close (and CRAZIER) friend of mine, who had just been released from a mental hospital (after a breakdown, prolly due to flunking out of college and not telling his parents), had some extra elephant tranquilizers (Thorazine). I discovered they were definitely not for recreation.

If we subtract the Beatles as 'not rock,' I'd add Steely Dan, although one could argue that they're 'not rock' either ...
