Ac/DC is a GREAT band, but all of their songs sound the same. Angus is a guitar god, he is AC/DC, and if you see him live, he is just amazing, but they wouldn't be top in my books.
Nirvana was hugely influenced by the ramones, the punk sceen was what started the whole "simple" music craze that nirvana ended up dominating. So when you think if it that way the ramones had alot more influence then nirvana did, cuz they inspired nirvana, but then, zepplin and floyd inspired basicly everyone that came after them, so they are the roots of most of the music today.
But then you could also go even farther back to blues, which is what 99% of rock and roll is, including most zepplin stuff. The guitar is a blues instrument, the notes on the fretbord are set up for blues, rock and roll is guitar driven, so it is all rooted to blues. Songs like "moby dick" and "blitzrig bop" are entirely blues progression. So basicly, if you want to name somone who has had the most influence on modern mucis, it would have to one of the blues greats.
Now that I've gone totaly off topic, I'l stop my rant now.
Also I think The Ramones didn't have as much as an impact as Nirvana did, but Nirvana doesn't need to be mentioned in a all time greatest rock countdown. *pulls out umbrella and prepares for the flak to rain*
