Keep in mind, my category is influential, not "best", and I'm sure many of you will disagree with more than one of my picks and given this is all off the top of my head, I'll probably disagree with some of my picks when all is said and done. Please feel free to criticize and post your replacement picks.
10: King Crimson
9: Glenn Danzig/Various
8: Iggy Pop/The Stooges
7: Talking Heads
6: MC5
5: Motorhead
I know "Ace of Spades" is the true choice, but I couldn't resist...
