Well, seeing as it's the greatest bands of ALL TIME it's strange that there are none featured from more than five years ago. Did they not have music back then?

A lot of people think pop music is all about the here-and-now. And you can't really vote for something if you've never heard of it... well you could if you wanted to bluff it.
Anyway...
These are my faves rather than those that I think are objectively the greatest. I'm not sure about the order apart from Pink Floyd at 1.
The 70s was definately the best period for me. Before the pop video and MTV came along in the 1980s (or mid-seventies), which changed things - it became more about the image then than the sound.
1. Pink Floyd
2. Kraftwerk
3. Queen
4. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - He completely revolutionised rock guitar playing.
5. Pet Shop Boys - Probably should be Led Zep, The Beatles or Stones but I'm a fan of their songs and wanted to put something more recent. They have some great songs, with very well written lyrics, which you don't get often in pop.
Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones - should probably be on the list.
Others I like...
REM (Automatic for the People - great album, Fave song - Drive), Blondie, David Bowie (not really part of regular band though), The Eagles, T-Rex, The Kinks, The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds great), The Monkees maybe, The Shadows, ABBA, Depeche Mode, Madness, The Police, The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, The KLF. I like Jamiroquai and Blur too.
