Seriously? Three pages and no one's mentioned the band of all bands, the Beatles?
I taught myself guitar because of the Beatles. Had it not been for the Fab Four, I might have wound up listening to country-western, or German polka bands.
Since they were my intro to 60s music, I have a lot of vinyl LPs in my collection from
Jefferson Airplane
Quicksilver Messenger Service
Yardbirds
John Mayall
Spirit
Steve Miller (his first five albums, not his later junk)
Frank Zappa & Mothers
I have plenty more. Some have been previously listed.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

For a bunch of gun nuts you guys have really good taste in music! Thanks for the input and keep them coming please. Here's a hillbilly rock band (Outlaws) that I listened to in college:
Ok so I know many of you probably won’t like these guys but when I was in my 20’s this was one of THE songs that got me more amped than anything. We rocked this song hundreds of times while heading to Croatan and the VA Beach 1st Street Jetty to surf and get our boards dinged. This obscure Hampton VA based band recorded this song in the same Virginia studio as my brother when he recorded his album. It’s the only reason I know of them. Years went by and I forgot about them until someone finally posted their song on YouTube and a friend of mine who also loved the band sent me the link.

.38 Special Night Ranger Journey Styx REO Speedwagon Boston Cheap Trick Van Halen AC/DC Chicago Hall & Oates (yeah, I can admit it) Lynyrd Skynyrd Aerosmith The Who Tears for Fears Robert Palmer Led Zeppelin ...and others.
I had an '81 Cutlass Supreme Brougham, Sandstone Beige, with a Pioneer stereo and Alpine 4x10 speakers ('cause the 6x9's wouldn't fit without major modifications to the rear panels, and I wanted it to look stock). Man, for about a summer there I was invincible. Time has indeed marched on.

So, so many great bands listed in the previous pages. Brings back so many great memories.
Some names mentioned that I have never heard of but that’s ok too. I probably won’t go back and look them up because of so much great music from the ones that I recognize.
Keep naming them ladies and gentlemen!!!!

Dave Grohl is a badass. From his time in Nirvana, to Foo Fighters.
Jack White is worth a listen too...

I graduated high school in 1973. So, I may be old but I saw all the good bands.
My senior year in high school I drove a Triumph Spitfire, it was not pristine. I took out the panel behind the seats and replaced it with a panel that held four speakers. Mounted an 8 track and I was ready to rock.
Fast forward to 1983. I am now driving an 1983 Ford pickup. I picked up my date and we went to the truck, we were/are both outdoor people so the truck was good with her. I turned the key in the ignition and the "stereo" blasted. She turned to me with a look that dripped with disdain and said, "How immature". She was a pianist with a focus on classics.
I am still immature. Still listen to music. Still play it a bit too loud.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

Avoiding listing obvious bands, some of my all time favorites not listed yet.
"I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965
