There isn't one universally accepted "Big 6" in rock music, but if people use that phrase, they're often referring to six of the most influential and commercially successful classic rock bands. A common list is:

The Beatles – Revolutionized popular music with groundbreaking songwriting, studio innovation, and enormous cultural impact.
The Rolling Stones – Known for blues-based rock, longevity, and legendary live performances.
Led Zeppelin – Pioneered hard rock and heavy metal while incorporating folk and blues influences.
Pink Floyd – Famous for progressive rock, concept albums, and elaborate live shows.
Queen – Combined rock, opera, and pop with exceptional musicianship and stadium anthems.
The Who – Influential for rock operas, powerful live performances, and innovations in rock instrumentation.

Other bands that are often argued to belong in a "Big 6" depending on the criteria include:

The Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Doors
AC/DC
Eagles
U2

If your question is about the "Big 6" based on influence, album sales, critical acclaim, or classic rock specifically, the lineup can change. The six above are among the most commonly cited in discussions of classic rock.
