Bachmann Turner Overdrive, Steppenwolf, Yes, Eagles, Supertramp, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Uriah Heep, The Alarm (as in the Viz joke about the Alarm going off - they haven't done anything decent since 69 guns), U2 (I prefer their earlier stuff such as War), Doobie Brothers (1st side of The Captain and Me is just wow), Creedence Clearwater Revival, Wishbone Ash, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Talk Talk, Talking Heads, Simple Minds, Jean Loves Jezebel, Michelle Shocked, PJ Harvey, Crosby Still Nash and Young (more folky than rocky), Fairport Convention (folk rock), etc etc etc.
Plus various solo recordings from members of these bands - EG Richard Thompson.
And then there's all the punk / New Wave type bands: Sex Pistols, PIL, Stranglers (later albums were more poppy than punky), Clash, Lene Lovich, Jam, XTC, Stiff Little Fingers, Blondie, Ian Dury etc etc etc
