Zeitgeist

I'm a firm believer that there are certain bands that capture the spirit of a generation. I believe that Nirvana captured the spirit of the Zeitgeist of the generation just past my youth and on the cusp of my son's generation.

Are there other bands you can think of that captured the spirit of their generation?

The Who / zeppelin / stones... those do the 70's for me.
Styx and Foreigner were the 'power bands' of the 80's - along with Pat Benatar putting a womans voice back into rock (although there was still grace slick...)
