Maybe not your genre, but I'd argue that Metallica and Iron Maiden have been on that level. Both have been around since early 80's and have amassed HUGE fan followings. Sure, neither were as close to "mainstream" as The Beatles or Rolling Stones. Nevertheless, as far as metal bands go, there have been few other bands that worked their ways into the mainstream audience's hearts as well as these two have. ESPECIALLY Metallica.
