So, let's examine "influential" rock bands vs. some schlubs who capitalized off a stoned audience and turned that into over-charging to aging hippies trying to recapture their lost glory...

In no particular order:

1. The Beatles. You may have heard of them.
2. Jimi Hendrix. Kind of a slacker, though.
3. The Who. Did a show or two, they were supposedly Ok.
4. The Ramones.
5. Nirvana. Did the Stones spawn an entire genre? I can't remember.
6. The Doors. Who was their lead singer again?
7. U2. I hate them, but they seem to be financially viable.
8. The Grateful Dead. 20 years ain't got s**t on them.
9. Metallica. Hell, they made a bunch of money and have been around 20 years.
10. The Eagles.

You're right, though. The Stones are the best band EVAH!!!!11!
