Surprised no one mentioned him, but Eric Clapton, who, no offense to Zeppelin fans out there, is in my mind the greatest guitarist still alive.
The Beatles are still probably the single most influential group of all time, and deservedly so.
Pink Floyd was probably one of the most progressive rock bands of any era.
The Rolling Stones, back in their heyday were also a force to be reckoned with.
Zeppelin during their time at the top probably performed with more energy than any live band of their era.
The Who in my mind are still very underrated, but that's probably because they came along at the same time as The Beatles and The Stones.
I also like some of the work by Sting, as well as some songs by The Police.
I'd say we owe a lot to the music influence from England here in America.
Take care all.
