Tool - LOVE the 5 string bass and serious precussion.
Steely Dan
Deep Purple "Smoke on the water" - least fav. / "Lazy" - fav.
Van Halen
Spyra Gyra
Sound Garden
Kings of Leon
Stevie Ray Vaughn
ZZ Top - Degquello and earlier. Eliminator and newer got too "disco" for me.
Supertramp - "School" is responsible for me becoming an audiophile/audio freek.
311 - their least rappy stuff anyway
Aerosmith - nothing after Toys In the Attic. Their talent went south after that.
Eagles
Very early Black Sabath - "The Wizard" is awesome.
AC/DC - Their stuff with hard bass lines and precussion like "Sin City" and "Livewire".
Clapton
B.B. King
Jeff Beck - Wired and Blow By Blow
Steve Vai
Eric Johnson
Satrianai
......and many, many more!
Never got into the "Big Hair" 80's/90's stuff like Posion or White Snake.
Very small doses of Willy Nelson and or Johny Cash is as country as I can go.
ABSOLUTELY NO rap / hip-hop ghetto $#l+! I'd rather hear finger nails on a chalk board!
Sound system in my work shop:
Home built 3 way (tri-amped) speakers that consist of JBL 2242's (18"), JBL 2206's (12" mids) and Gauss 1502 tweeters.
Amplification consists of a Crown Macro Tech 2400 for the 18's, Crown Micro Tech 600 for the mids and a Hafler DH 200 for the tweets. Sound processors are a Rane AC23 corssover and an Alesis 32 band EQ. Yes I like feeling my pant legs shake on deep bass notes and kick drum beats. A saying heard often in my shop is "It's not loud, it's realistic!" Plus I like hearing my music over my routers and saws!
I could go on for hours because I used to be a D.J. at night clubs and bars.
So, my music choices would be all over the board.

Then I could go into the Hair bands.

btw, SRV's second appearance on the tv show was also one of his best... and in his home town nonetheless. He went all out, especially when one of his strings broke and the guitar was swapped out without missing a note. Classic.

You said 'The Doobie Brothers' twice.
I like the Doobie Brothers.
The Red Rocker and a Trans Am on stage was hard to beat in 1983. The following year, he couldn't drive 55. I mean, who can?

What could have been? https://youtu.be/8ClIALCuZnQ
Zeppelin's drummer. Others I can recall that delved into drag racing were Travis Tritt, MC Hammer, and Joan Jett, and of course all the 60s hot rod songs from folks like the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. For what it's worth, Dean's full name was Dean Ormsby Torrence, so I guess it's no wonder they sang hot rod music.
Yes sir, I believe it was Rickie Smith.
Skinny Puppy
Front 242
Revolting Cocks
Social Distortion
KMFDM
A Split Second
Easily could be considered one of the top 12 guitarists of all time:

Fantastic solo. Talented guy all the way.
Extra points if you can name the funny cars/drivers in the video.
