since you bkitches were too lazy to create a thread... off the top of my head, in no particular order (and reserving to right to add/delete) bowie doors cream aerosmith stones beatles brian ferry/roxy music pink floyd (pre- the wall) jeff lynne/elo elvis costello queen ramones jethro tull petty velvet underground/lou reed janis beach boys smithereens crosby stills nash squeeze guess who x badfinger xtc frampton
skynard and the allman brothers would make my top 50 stevie ray's greatness cannot be denied, but i liked trower more and he didn't make my list clash is kinda like the who to me... i like them, i just don't love them but these picks are so subjective and personal...

Hard to narrow to 25.......... Stones* Beatles Who Kinks* Jethro Tull* Hendrix Albert King (greatest blues guitarist ever)* Savoy Brown Humble Pie Hot Tuna Johnny Winter Muddy Waters Howlin Wolf Allman Bros Warren Zevon* Cream Joe Walsh Lou Reed (Rock 'n Roll Animal........best live LP ever) Led Zeppelin Traffic Jeff Beck Neil Young Queen Deep Purple Fleetwood Mac (when they were a blues band, not a pop band) Rory Gallagher (fuck U2.......this is the greatest Irish rocker ever) *probably my top 5 Know I missed some. Glad you didn't ask for r&b acts. One of the best shows I've seen was the Ike and Tina Turner Review. We could do another list with lead guitarists. Would as hard to sort them as it is to sort out the bands/acts.
Finski, you almost disqualified your list, because a true Eagles fan would know there's no "The," but given your haste to be quick like irish, you deserve the benefit of the doubt. My list would include much of what's been listed, and then add in at least two that I haven't seen mentioned: Heart and Jackson Browne.
