@Sanctum:
Why has ACDC not been mentioned yet? They make awesome everywhere. Oh, man. Back in Black, ohhhh, fuck yes.
Pink Floyd is wicked as hell. I still lie in my bed at night, falling asleep to Dark Side of the Moon. The second track of that, I believe, On the Run, will trip you so hard while you're lying in the dark. Feel like you're almost flying.
Zeppelin, oh man, don't get me started. Almost every song they strum out is epic. Fuck, I'm listening to Stairway to Heaven as we speak. Led Zeppelin 4, oh hell yes.
I probably should have mentioned AC/DC earlier as my Dad also has a bunch of their LP's, with the original Australian covers (which aren't as cool, but hey, I didn't even know they existed). The problem with AC/DC though is that they essentially released the same sounding songs over and over, so all you need from the band is a Greatest Hits, which oddly doesn't exist. In other words, you need Highway to Hell and Back in Black, and that'll do just fine.
(That's not to say the other albums aren't good, it's just that if two things sound the same, you go for the better sounding ones.)
Also got the Dark Side of The Moon LP and The Wall. I haven't really been able to get into Pink Floyd though, hoping a few more listens until I'm "enlightened", so to speak.
Zeppelin were epic, I have two copies of Zoso (Led Zep IV), fantastic album. I'd take Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II over it though.

Wow, I forgot to put down what I like to listen to. >_< Anyway, I've only been to two concerts where the performers are bands I like, those being the Steve Miller Band and the Rolling Stones. The Steve Miller Band is great, great lyrics and they do some pretty nifty stuff to make their instrumentals interesting, and the Stones are the Stones. So they automatically win. AC/DC was my first band, TNT being the first song I really enjoyed to the extent of thinking "Who's that singing?". Styx came second, and they're probably my favorite band, simply because their music sounds so silly, but it's really cool. Ozzy and Black Sabbath came in later, simply because I enjoyed Iron Man so much. Guns N' Roses is pretty cool, it's a band that pretty much every one of my friends like. Queen is my latest musical obsession, I heard "Don't Stop me now" and became addicted to Queen.
I also listen to some J-Rock, like L'Arc~en~Ciel and Bump of Chicken. That's sort of off topic though, but still rock.
Hey, Gun's N Roses are pretty awesome! Definitely a big fan, certainly one of the last great hard rock bands (not that many around today…)
I'm also a huge fan of Queen (3rd favourite band, actually, I think!). Don't Stop Me Now is great but they play it all the time on UK radio! I'd rather them play Bicycle Race, that's a great song but I don't think many people know of it (Excluding big rock/Queen fans, of course). And Now I'm Here, what a great song! Stone Cold Crazy also should get more radio play, as well as Seaside Rendezvous! I better stop now before I just keep naming Queen songs...
Anyone here heard of Budgie? Fantastic rock band that nearly no one knows about. Very much in the style of Led Zeppelin.
