All true. But Bob Marley should not be on that list (I mean no disrespect, just that reggae is not a sub-genre of rock).
Personally I've always thought that the Grateful Dead was only the most overrated band, but I know legions of tie-dyed patchouli heads would disagree. Ah, well.
I would probably put the Jimi Hendrix Experience in there, with the caveat that I don't know how you deal with personnel changes. I would take Pink Floyd off (I mean, c'mon), and put in The Who.
And I would move Led Zeppelin to Number 2.
