Teardrop Explodes Orange Juice Husker Du The Church The Triffids
could easily have included The Beat, Specials, Les Negresses Vertes, TV personalities, 1000 Violins, Uncle Tupelo, Camper van Beethoven, Echo & the Bunnymen, Josef K, Go Betweens, Oysterband, Show of Hands and even more if I think about it too long...
The Band The Velvet Underground The Jam The Rolling Stones Aztec Camera
No Led Zep?
Was going to include them but it appears that they ripped off the intro to Stairway to Heaven so I couldn't vote for them. Not their first offence either.

1. Camel - hard-edged prog, formed in 1972 and still going 2. Caravan - stalwarts of the Canterbury scene, formed in 1968 and still playing 3. Cream - soundtrack of my youth 4. Magma - intense French band led by astonishing drummer Christian Vander; more like a weird dark cult 5. Alkatraz - sadly overlooked Welsh stompers, active around 1978
Utopia (although I prefer the first two prog/fusion albums when they were still known as Todd Rundgren's Utopia)
I honestly need to think about the other four. Just looked all through my iTunes and it's mostly solo artists: Todd Rundgren (tons and tons and tons), Terry Reid, John Martyn, Pharoah Sanders, and so on.

The older you get the harder it is. I've been trying for months to finish mapping out my life in music with You Tube clips, its bloody hard work.
The Clash
The Jimi Hendrix Experience

This was much harder than the films list, I could change all of those for another band, many of which have already been mentioned above.

Husker Du
The Church
