Ok, well as much as I disagree with a lot of the lists here, there are some bands I would pick for some sub-genre of rock. So, my list is really, purity and thus pure rock and hard rock. I have not gotten an order as I am doing this of the top of my head.
1. Led Zeppelin
[2. The Beatles (not really a rock band per se, they really are a pop band although some songs and album like The Beatles (White Album) can be classified as a Rock and Roll album]
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Nirvana
4. Van Halen
5. Pink Floyd
6. U2
7. Dire Straits
8. Jane's Addiction (it really is Alternative Rock but that term is a really general term used now but they used rock and hard rock influences so essentially they are a rock band at heart)
9. Lynyrd Skynyrd
10. Queen

Didn't expect it to be mostly metal. But clearly I like metal better than other types of rock.
Not sure if Nine Inch Nails count as rock though, they're kind of semi-electronic
