1.
The Beatles
They just released all of their albums to iTunes and are dominating the charts. As a band who has not played together in 20 years this is quite an accomplishment. They brought rock music to the United States.

The Rolling Stones
They have been around for 40+ years and would still sell out a concert within hours. Everyone loves the Rolling Stones. I don't think I have ever met anyone who doesn't.

The Eagles
One of the longest lasting rock bands ever, still playing together and still selling massive amounts of tickets, memorabilia, and albums.

Aerosmith
Again, a band that has been around for 40 years and can still sell out an arena. Aerosmith has created some of the most famous songs of all time and Steven Tyler is a glam-rock legend.
