I really like Whitesnake, and Coverdale can wail with the best of them. I also like a couple of songs from Priest, but they only had like 2 hits max. and how could you not be a fan of whitesnake in the 80's, when Tawny spread herself all over everything. I know as a 12-14 year old boy, that was a VERY nice image in front of some great music.
Soundgarden, I like, Nirvana and Pearl Jam killed music for a long time. I am so sick of Kurt Cobain and all of Pearl Jam's political views. Who cares!
