Every single thing that REALLY Rocked, Rolled, Popped, Grooved,

Everyone wants to talk bands and artists and could do that all day too so will try to keep it brief. 70's I was catching up from the mid 60's with Hendrix, Sabbath, Zepplin, BADCOMPANY and adding AC/DC, Boston, Journey, Eagles, Fastway, ThinLizzy, Rush, Floyd, Aerosmith. 80's and MTV years was such a pivotal change merging new rock and Pop that we would be here all day naming but here's a few Bowie, Peter Gabriel, U2, I could follow up Metallica with REM and GNR with ZZTop then DEVO and INXS the more different it was the more I was hearing the same chords/progressions used in different ways. 90's was a huge change and Grunge really exploded everything for me, Soundgarden/Cornell, PearlJam, AIC, Nirvana were the Grungy Seattle side but on the other side STP, Radiohead, NIN, FAITHNOMORE, RedHotChiliPeppers and serious Pop from the mid 80's to late 90's. 00's was another big shift but during this time I was gravitating to QOTSA, Muse, Seether, FooFighters, Audioslave, Deftones, Switchfoot, KingsOfLeon, Stained, Incubus, etc. but also a lot of great Singer/Songwriter like Bob Schnieder and Edie Brickell
From around 2009 till now I feel like Rock has been kinda stuck in a holding pattern and although I gain inspiration from everywhere no one has really been a great influence but here's a few stand outs for me TheBlackKeys, 21 Pilots, CageTheElephant, RoyalBlood, Warpaint - Trying things pushing boundaries a bit in their own ways
