The stats and how you pulled the data to come to your conclusion make for interesting reading. When I think of rock, I think of all its many genres. The one genre of rock that seems the most popular worldwide is heavy metal. So on that alone, I would think both Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin would have to be the most popular and iconic rock bands simply because Sabbath's down-tuned, doomer, pessimistic sludge rock took the bluesy-heavy rock of bands like Blue Cheer into a totally new direction. Zeppelin also took blues rock into a faster, instantly memorable riff machine.
But that's just my thoughts with no numbers to crunch, stats, or data to run on. I am just going on what I think is the most popular genre of rock and roll and how many kids and bands it has inspired.
