ERic Clapton is an undisputed king of his instrument, but his work output is a mixed bag. Some great stuff with Cream, Derek and The Domino's, to the relative flop of Blind Faith and some lacklustre solo stuff. Still, his influence is without question. As a musician, I'd give him 10/10, but as an artist, from my point of view I'd only rate him about 5/10.

Foreigner really do rock - people think they only did soppy ballads because those were their biggest hits. But thise aside, they hardly did any ballds. They're a great classic rock band. If you bought their best of you'd be pleasantly suprised.
As for Maiden, I'm going to be controversial. Vastly overrated in my book, and much better with Dianno than thingyinson, who I think is a truly poor vocalist. Not my thing at all and I never got why they made it so big. I'd give them a generous 5/10.
This will spark a frenzy - Queen!

AC/DC - you can't go wrong. Never written a ballad, they just plain rock. Some average albums but ever single one will get your foot tapping at some point, and "Back In Black", "Highway To Hell" and "If You Want Blood" are just rock masterpieces. For those alone, and their awesome legacy, 10/10.

It really depends on which incarnation of Deep Purple you pick, there's been that many. And they did splinter into some amazing bands, such as Gillan, Whitesnake, Rainbow (and they into Dio), etc etc.
Jimi Hendrix - very good, but a bit overrated. Did some great songs, did some amazing things on guitar, but he couldn't sing and I don't think he'd be worshipped as much as he is if he hadn't of died young. I'd say 7/10.
Van Halen.

I always liked Sabbath better sans Osbourne. Few other bands have hired as many quality vocalists as Sabbath, yet their weakest singer remains the most popular. For influence, and making such phenomenal albums as "Heaven And Hell", "Born Again" and "Live Evil", they deserve a lot of respect. They lose marks for losing credibuility in their last few years, so I give them 8/10.
So, intertwined with Sabbath - Deep Purple.

'Feel The Force' is a good song, but I'm glad it didn't make the UK version of Shove It because it sounds totally different to the rest of the album. Live it was ok, except for the weird verion on 'Meltdown', which has different lyrics and a different arrangement. Maybe it wasn't finished?!?
