Holy crap that's a lot of hair metal!

At least you didn't say Poison or WASP, though.
 
It's sad I use to like Poison when first started. I remember Unskinny Bop was first on the radio. Could also add Warrant to that list.

Chilliwack
Fountains of Wayne
Queen

The Ramones
Social Distortion
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Stooges
U2
Chuck Berry
Elvis Presley
Buddy Holly
Johnny Cash
Carl Perkins
Eddie Cochran
Little Richard
Bob Dylan
James Brown
Otis Redding
Booker T. & The MGs
Wilson Pickett
and, uh...

Er...

Hell. I don't know if I can come up with a definitive twentieth. It kind of drops off after that point to artists who have some songs I like but of which I am not any kind of especially devoted fan. Aretha Franklin? Sam & Dave? Marvin Gaye? Green Day? The Foo Fighters? Pink Floyd? Led Zeppelin? I guess most any of them could fit in, but I don't know if I could choose just one...

Oh--wait. It just came to me. Knew I was leaving someone out. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, definitely. There we go--that's twenty.
 
1. Prince
2. John Frusciante
3. The Cure
4. Pink Floyd
5. Heart

The rest in no particular order:

Soundgarden
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Queen
Audioslave
The Beatles
Wings
Foo Fighters
Led Zeppelin
Hall & Oates
Kool & the Gang
Pedestrian
The Mars Volta
The Bicycle Thief
Pearl Jam
Depeche Mode

1. The Rolling Stones
2. The Clash
3. The Ramones
4. X
5. Steely Dan
6. The Replacements
7. Talking Heads
8. The Blasters
9. Los Lobos
10. REM
11. Sly and the Family Stone
12. Booker T. & the MG's
13. CCR
14. The Who
15. The Minutemen

That's "bands" only, including solo artists would be a little different.
