The Ten Greatest Bands of all Time

This is most certainly a debatable topic.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I'm expecting quite a few people to disagree.  One thing that's obvious is anyone's list of all time top ten bands is going to relate back to the type of music they like.   Personally I like all types of music.  But what stands out the most for me is Classic Rock.     With that in mind, these are the 10 bands, listed in order, that I consider to be the greatest of all time: 1.

Dustin Hoffman:     "Kramer vs Kramer"              1979                                     "Papillon"
