Topic: what bicycle companies are dominant in at least your mind if not in the world?

As I've looked more into it, I see a lot of company names that I was never familiar with that are the big names in the industry. Do you know any off the top of your head? Or from when you were a kid?

I'd really like to get a nice, dual-suspension off-road bike at some point. In college, I joined the mountain biking club and enjoyed it. It's great exercise, and learning about your bike is really fun and interesting.
