Pre-1980 Queen embodies Rock and Roll the most for me.

the Who have always been my favorite rock band. John Entwistle on bass and Keith Moon on drums is about as good as it gets. Townshend was a damn good guitarist and I've always liked Roger Daltrey's vocals. At their peak I don't think there was a better ROCK band than the Who


I can't really disagree with this.

I never really thought of myself as "rockin' out" to The Rolling Stones. One can definitely rock out to The Who, or Zep.

I give The Who the edge because they played at Woodstock.

Stupid reason, but it's my reason, so all y'all

Hard not to put Stones at the top of the list.
The Who, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Lynard Skynard, early Santana, Johnny Winter all need to be considered highly.

I was fortunate enough to see a lot of the great 60's groups growing up. I can tell you Ten Years After could definitely rock it out. Credence live was also first-rate.

"rock and roll" ZZTOP

Led is my favorite, but I think they were a bit heavy metal, a bit blues, a bit Rock, a bit electronica, etc,etc

I'm going with Guns n Roses simply for Welcome to the jungle. To me that song just says this is Rock n roll.
