I'm going to just bypass the whole discussion of what constitutes rock, and just give my picks.
The Police U2 Velvet Underground Blood Sweat and Tears Queen The Beatles The Jimi Hendrix Experience Coldplay (Just want to make sure that the contemporaries don't get overlooked)

Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden Judas Priest Type O Negative White Zombie AC/DC Lynyrd Skynyrd The Misfits Motorhead Stephen Lynch Stephen Lynch is a comedic singer, well-known to fans of the "Opie and Anthony" radio show. His songs touch on such diverse subjects as trans-sexuals, abortion, masturbation, anal sex, dead grandparents and bowling legends. Honorable mention - GG Allin GG's song "Automatic" is a great "couples" song.

Sorry about the tears down the trouserleg - ur probably right about Wham, altho Georgie boy deserves a mention - and I shouldn't have listed so many, but getting up to 64 looked like a heavy task so there's gonna be a few lightweights in there that would doubtkess disappear quite quickly...
Surprising how quickly groups come and go though - there are quite a few from the 70's, 80's and 90's that I haven't mentioned but can add if necessary because of a shortfall - always steering clear as much as possible from New Romantics that will generally not fit in that well.... PS - at least I remembered INXS:p
