The further in time you go back, the wider ripples of influence. The Yardbirds are another notable influential early group, along with the Kinks. The omission of Crosby, Stills, and Nash and the Byrds is likely because they are more part of the folk genre.
Listing the 20 greatest rock bands is a tough task, but any list will be subjective. Other great bands that could have made this list include Journey, Van Halen, Kiss, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Toto and Rush among many others. It's a little surprising you didn't mention how Led Zeppelin ended after the death of John Bonham.

Queen is more influential and popular. Individually they are also more talented. All of them can play multiple instruments and sing incredibly well. Nothing beats them LIVE. Queen is the greatest LIVE band of all time. Floyd however was more skillful musicians and created musical masterpieces like Echoes and shine on crazy diamond. Floyd is more skillful than Queen Queen is more talented than Floyd There's a difference

Its overrated
Very hard choice... Scorpions... Lynyrd Skynyrd...Steelheart.. Bad Company.. Kiss...ACDC..Doors...Beatles..Pink Floyd ..Led Zeppelin... Queen..Deep Purple...Small Faces...Foreinger....Stones and more...
Here are my top 7 favorite rock bands 1. Journey 2. Queen 3. The Beatles 4. Van Halen 5. Black Sabbath 6. Kiss 7. Metallica
I like rock music! I watched music videos by Nirvana and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by the Beetles. I listened to most of the other songs from this list. I have a cousin who listens to Nirvana.
Good choice and commendable effort... always tough for an universally pleasing roll of honors. Perhaps the 70s has some of the best true blue rock bands eg. Deep Purple, Bad Co and the Glam Rock scene of Sweet, T Rex. Luv 'em all. By the way, thought Beach Boys is more of pop rather than rock. Just my thoughts...
Pink Floyd is the number one
My top 13 and their best song 13. Pink floyd (money 12. Rush (tom sawyer) 11. Iron maiden (killers) 10. AC/DC (back in black) 9. Radiohead (paranoid android) 8. Nirvana (heart shaped box) 7. Queen (killer queen 6. The rolling stones (paint it black) 5. Guns n roses (welcome to the jungle) 4. Black sabbath (war pigs) 3. The doors (riders on the storm) 2. Led zeppelin (dazed and confused) 1. The beatles (strawberry fields forever
It’s awesome that AC/DC but rush and Van Halen deserve to be on the list.
Red Hot Chili Peppers deserve to be between 20-15

Thank you for making this list, I’ve been searching forever for one!
Nice music
I'd say putting Queen at #3 is really exaggerating it.Also, personally I'd switch The Who and The Rolling Stones.Queen and The Rolling Stones are two of the most legendary and revered bands of all time, no doubt they have lots of amazing songs the genre can be known for but the problem with them is that their discography is full of bland fillers compared to The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, both of them are completely in a different league to all the bands on the list.For one, I can put Pink Floyd at the #3 instead of Queen because Pink Floyd's 1973-1979 run might be the best 4 album run ever.Again, outside of Pink Floyd's 70s output, their discography is just as bland as Queen's but at least Pink Floyd has that 4 album peak which Queen doesn't. That's just me though.

The Rolling Stones have a bland discography?Mate please. Aftermath, Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St., Goats Head Soup, Some Girls and Tattoo You are classic rock n roll albums especially the first four.The Rolling Stones in my opinion are by far the most interesting lyricists here. They should be Top 2 or Top 3.
