    While I respect Bowie, the Stones have had an impact on rock n roll music that is about double or triple that of Bowie’s…so, I respectfully disagree with at least that particular ranking.

    I agree about the Rolling Stones being more influential, but it was more of a personal taste list.

    If you ARE going to go by influence, I would probably say:

    Rolling Stones
    The Sex Pistols
    David Bowie
    Queen
    The Clash
    The Who
    Elvis Costello
    The Kinks
    Bloc Party
