Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Collective Soul. Nine Inch Nails, Metric, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and also Jazz and Blues Greats from the 20th and 21st century. I think the Greatest Song of all time is "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. It has all the Hallmarks of a Masterpiece of composition and performance.
