Led Zeppelin 
Stones
Queen
Black Sabbath 

Favorite songs from each:

Bring It On Home 
Sympathy For The Devil 
Bohemian Rhapsody
Sweet Leaf

Zeppelin: Going to California
 "THE Rock Gods" with unmatched musical diversity

Beatles:  Across The Universe
 MB phrased it well; "Song Writing Gods" if there ever were any.
I would argue they influenced rock more than anybody
 World was deprived of Lennons musical talents too soon

Stones:    Tie: Moonlight Mile/Can't u hear me knocking/Sister Morphine
 Musical diversity that almost matches LZ, bluesy, smokey guitar rifts and bad boys back in the day

Beach Boys: Tie: God only knows/Wouldnt it be nice
I never liked the BB much growing-up, but luv em now at this stage in life.
Brian Wilson was a musical genius
Harmonies worthy of the gods listening time

Queen absolutely belongs there hard to argue with the others.

Impossible to choose just one, but for an old fart like me it would be Lynyrd skynyrd.

I think I saw LS live more often than any other brand while growing-up...

Levon and The Band almost made my Vintage Rushmore.

There is a lot of good choices, but I don't see how you couldn't put the band that still has the highest selling hard rock album of all time....AC/DC...

I definitely like a lot of their music, but, for me, there’s not a lot of variance in one song to the next.

Badly torn between The Who and The Yardbirds, as the latter would be the springboards for a LOT of legendary guitar music....

Beach Boys, yeah, probably
Queen...definitely
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young....honorable mention

Beatles and Stones for sure...honestly not convinced about Led Zeppelin.

Not really sure what classifies as "vintage rock" anymore, but I'd have to say for me..

Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
The Grateful Dead
Rush

Favorite songs;

Zeppelin- Fool in the Rain
AC/DC- Guns for Hire
Dead- Terrapin Station
Rush- Working Man

Speaking of the Dead, anybody been to the Sphere yet in Vegas to see Dead and Company? I hear it's a life changing experience. I'm thinking about going this weekend
