Sure, the British behemoths in Iron Maiden may lean closer to heavy metal than to classic rock, but we're going to let that little technicality slide because they rock super hard.

30 years and 15 genre-defining albums into their distinguished career, the band is still capable of selling out stadiums all over the world. For their 2008 tour, they traveled 50,000 miles in just 45 days, managing to visit five continents in that time. And get this: Their pilot for the entire excursion was none other than their singer, Bruce Dickinson!

Now THAT's rock and roll.
