Wow, what a good subject !

Many of my old fave's have already been well covered. For me Led Zep ( my fave is the first album I reckon ) was probably the finest band of that classic rock era - and many more fine one have been mentioned above.

any band with Jeff Beck in it

Graham

Jeff Beck is one of The Greatest Guitarists - Ever!

The Jeff Beck Group albums:

Truth
Beck-Ola
Rough and Ready
Jeff Beck Group

These albums have several "Sidemen" relativly unkown at the time who later formed or played in many other Great Bands.

Rod Stewart
(Solo, Faces)
Ron Wood
(Faces, Rolling Stones)
Cozy Powell
(Rainbow, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Brian May, Emerson Lake & Powell, Peter Green, Jon Lord etc...)

And in particular the grouping assembled for one of the tracks on Truth "Beck's Bolero"
(John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and an ex-Yardbirds mate Jimmy Page who wrote the song for Jeff)
formed a band of their own that some might recall (Led Zeppelin)

Another project after the Jeff Beck Group, Beck Bogert & Appice
featured two members of the '60's band Vanilla Fudge (Carmine Appice & Tim Bogert)
who would go one to form Cactus, another (unkown) Legendary Band in it's own right.

I could go on, but I have spent too much time allready (getting sidetracked reading the links I included)
and will close by repeating what I stated at the begining:

Jeff Beck is one of The Greatest Guitarists - Ever!


P.S. You left out King Crimson, but then you don't want to get me started on them...
