I really wouldn't consider the Beatles to be hard rock. They founded rock n roll not hard rock. When compared to other bands the Beatles are mostly soft.

Tough question!
Heart, Kiss, CCR, E-Street Band (Springstein), Joan Jett, Janice Joplin, Queen (numero uno!), Pat Benitar, Journey (softer side of hard rock), Berlin. Have to stick ZZ Top in there somewhere, and the Cars, but never particularly liked either of them. Grateful Dead has to be in the top ten, but too many to crowd into such a limiting number.
