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

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....

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

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
