I don't collect Deep Purple, Black Sabbath or Radiohead. The others are
pretty much big favorites of mine.

....before I introduce these three mighties, let me tell you the real
reasons, I truly believe these three fit the bill as the three best
and important rock bands ever. These bands truly dominated the period
from 1969-79. Thats 11 years. Not many trinities can claim that.
Before them it was Beatles and Rolling Stones slugging it out from the
two years of British Invasion - 1964-65 and the psychedelic rock years
1966-68. Considering the US (the main battleground) for '64 -'65 I
will go with the US singles released in these years to determine who
won. In 1964, Beatles singles were far superior, Rolling Stones were
kids in their nappies. Rolling Stones came with two gigantic singles
in 1965 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' and 'Get Off My Cloud', both
more significant to rock than the pop sounding singles released by the
Beatles, that year. I have to give this year to the Stones. 1966 was
the first year of psychedelic rock and album rock, so I will consider
albums instead of singles from then. 1966 and 67 Beatles released
their most renowned albums, Rolling Stones still had a way to way with
albums; so those years belong to Beatles. 1968 should go to the
resurgent Rolling Stones for their classic 'Beggars Banquet' which is
a better classic than the uneven 'The White Album', in terms of
quality. So Beatles get 1964, 66 and 67. Rolling Stones get 65 and
68.

After this 5 year period, the true rock trinity take over. Led
Zeppelin win three years in a row with two classics in 69, the then
underrated but currently highly appreciated 'Led Zeppelin III' from
1970 and the untitled all time classic in 1971. Yes comes into picture
in 1972 with double threat 'Fragile' and 'Close To The Edge'. Late
bloomers Pink Floyd storm the world with their stupendous 'The Dark
Side Of The Moon' in 1973. Yes come back a reclaim the title in 1974
by another double threat 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' and
'Relayer'. Though the critic reaction was missed, fans stood up for
the band and they were still selling stadiums, so have to give the
year to them. Led Zeppelin would come back big in 1975 with their
magnum opus double album 'Physical Graffiti' and show they are still
the biggest band in the world'. 1976 would be another big dominating
year for Led Zeppelin with double threat 'The Song Remains The Same'
and 'Presence'. Though these days the albums have had some mixed
reviews, at that time, the audience was still firmly with the band. In
the year of punk - 1977, Pink Floyd still dominated with flying pigs
and gave a strong answer with 'Animals'. 1978 was a stalemate year for
Led Zeppelin (they weren't present on the scene due to Robert Plant's
son's death) and Pink Floyd (they had to leave UK due to tax reasons
and also were having a writer's block). I have to give the year to
Yes; even though their album 'Tormato' was not well received, they had
a very successful Tormato tour and in Led Zeppelin/Pink Floyd's
absence were the biggest band out there. In 1979, Led Zeppelin and Yes
were still having very successful tours, but Pink Floyd had a more
successful year with their massive double album 'The Wall'. So from
1969-79, Led Zeppelin gets 1969-71, 75-76; Yes gets 1972, 74 and 78,
Pink Floyd gets 1973, 77-78; thus dominating 11 year period from late
60s to end of 70s. This pretty much proves my claim that these bands
deserve to be in the trinty, doesn't it?
