This by no means an absolute list but the best 40 bands I can think of off the top of my head. Note that all these bands are post British Invasion. This is on purpose as this list could easily be comprised on solely 60's bands like The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, etc. That would be pointless. Anyway, here they are:
1. Badfinger
2. The Raspberries
3. XTC
4. The Records
5. The Knack
6. Material Issue
7. Big Star
8. Nick Lowe
9. Cheap Trick
10. The Plimsouls
11. Sugar
12. Super Deluxe
13. The Ramones
14. The Heats (aka Heaters)
15. The Sweet
16. Paul Collins Beat
17. The Nerves
18. Squeeze
19. The Blow Pops
20. Greenberry Woods
21. Fountains of Wayne
22. Jellyfish
23. The Posies
24. The Romantics
25. Hoodoo Gurus
26. DM3 / Someloves
27. 20/20
28. 92 Degrees
29. Emmitt Rhodes
30. Buzzcocks
31. The Spongetones
32. Split Endz
33. The dB's
34. Bram Tchaikovsky
35. Eddie and the Hot Rods
36. The Chevelles
37. The Red button
38. Velvet Crush
39. The Beatifics
40. Weezer
