Zepelin, without a doubt.  And Tool is better than any of the choices on the poll-except Pink Floyd.

Edited because I missed Floyd on the poll, and te ARE better than Tool. Holy crap, I spelled my name wrong.

AC/DC (with a second vote for Led Zeppelin and third for Aerosmith). With the exception of the Stones, the other two listed are easy-listening by comparison.

AC/DC rocks, but Iron Maiden is the greatest band ever. Followed by:

Metallica
Megadeth
Pantera
Slayer.....

Heavy Metal, the only way to rock......

3. Jimmy Hendrix

I haven't read the other replies yet, although I will directly.  

Off the top of my head, I have to say either Ozzy or Skidrow.  

Skidrow is really my personal favorite band, not who I think of as the all time best.

I think that Ozzy has been more consistent supplying us with great rock n roll than any other band.

Yeah, with lyrics like these, what's not to love?

[b]This aint subliminal
Feel the critical mass approach horizon
Tha pulse of the condemned
Sound off Americas demise
Tha anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires

So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy?

Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head.

The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
'Cause holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yea, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, neva forget that tha wip snapped ya back
Ya spine cracked for tobacco, oh I'm the Marlboro man, uh
Our past blastin' on through the verses
Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses
Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist,
Sailors blood on tha deck, come sista resist
From tha era of terror check this photo lens,
Now tha city of angels does the ethnic cleanse
Uh, heads bobbin' to tha funk out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came to try and steal ya name
But now you found a gun, you're history, this is for the people of the sun

So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Line up to tha mind cemetary now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells.[/b]

My god! There are so many great rock bands out there that it is hard to single one out.
From yesterday's Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, to Rush, to Metallica, to today's rock bands like Tool and Staind and so on.
BUT I would have to give an award to AC/DC for being a popular rock band that kept their sound and not have over-commercialized themselves.

How about a poll on bands that should just give it up because they are way too old and think they have to charge top price for their concert tickets because of their popularity? (cough, cough..Rolling Stones...cough, cough)

I'm sorry, but I just [i][b]have[/i][/b] to say that The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones, blow.

In the 1770's, we kicked British ass.  Two hundred years later they retaliated by sending us Mick Jager and John Lennon.

OK.  I'm ready.  On your mark, get set, flame on...

Fillmore, the Avalon, Panhandle Park and the Cow Palace later and down south at the Whiskey-a'-Go-Go.  Chet Helms and Family Dog Productions, Bill Graham, the Merry Pranksters, Owsley and La Honda.  Quicksilver, Country Joe, of course The Airplane, Eric Burdon, man there's too many.  Like HST wrote, our wave crested about that time and having crested, rolled back.

I saw Zeppelin play their first show ever in the US at the 1968 Denver Feyline Christmas show.
They were the little unknown warmup band for Vanilla Fudge and Spirit.
They rocked the house down, but it was still 3 months before they released an album here.
Had "Dazed and Confused" ringing in my head till April, lol.
Also saw Hendrix play at Red Rocks, Janis Joplin at the Family Dog, and Zappa at the Denver Pop Festival in 1970.
*sigh*

Here's another quote from our time...

"The greatest compliment I was ever given came at The Fillmore. It was Cream and the Butterfield Blues Band. I just happened to go into the rest room during a break. I was standing at the middle urinal when two guys came in after me, one on either side...right out of the blue, one said, 'I forgot. Who's playing here tonight?' Without batting an eyelash, the other guy said, 'I don't know, man. What's the difference? It's The Fillmore".


And yeah, I'm older than dirt.

My vote goes for Led Zep, they had a sound that will never get old. The Stones would be my second choice. Now as far as live rock shows, I think Iggy Pop puts on one of the best shows, kick ass band always. My favorite was when I saw him at the Ritz in '86. The sickest show I ever saw was Iron Maiden, one week before the Iggy Pop concert in '86. That was at the Garden in NYC and the people in the bleachers were lighting and throwing M-80's into the crowd and some assclown threw one at the lead singer and it blew up in mid air right next to his ear. Then it got really sick after that!
