Obviously not Beatles, Stones, etc.
Some lesser known groups without the recognition.

I'll start with George Thorogood

Then

Dire straits

Talking Heads...a really fun band !

Foreigner and the Kinks were top 10 acts that didn't get enough credit, imo

They are all 60's to mid 80's in the case of the Talking heads basically late 60's through the 70's rock, not really hard metal rock, but I would not call it other than Rock !
Is Elton John rock ?

I'd call him more of a crossover between pop & Rock

The others mentioned are clearly Rock, maybe the Talking Heads might slip into the pop category, but I think not

The Kinks and Foreigner and Dire Straits are as Rock n Roll as my favorite band, the Rolling Stones

My most seen band is easily Lynyrd Skynyrd, probably seen them 8 times, they always seem to be the opening act

My first concert was the WHO in San Diego in late 1982, it doesn't matter what month, everyday is perfect and the same there, at least it was 35+ years ago !

Thought maybe The Beatles would fit the Pop category these days

I like some of their songs so that means they aren't too 'Rockish' lol puff_>>

Beatles are a different breed, not really my favorite.

I guess you could call them sorta pop/ rock
Best selling band of all time, I believe ?

I'd put Beatles/ Elton John/ Chicago type bands as not really rock, certainly not heavy metal
The kind of music your parents might tolerate

It's not heavy stuff like AC-DC or led-zep, etc

My mother born in 1920, liked Billy Joel

That would be a big stretch to call the piano man a rockstar

The Cars are Rocky enough for me to include them, a tad Popish, overrated if anything

For under-rated
Kinks and Foreigner

Those two bands didn't get their due respect !

Both are like easily top 50 all time Rock bands, I'd place them much higher, like top 25 or so
