    Default Top 7 Best Bands of all Time

    I realize this is a big question. Am not even sure, but I'm curious to know what you think. I'll definitely have The Beatles at #1 for different reasons.

    Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin. the next two could be any of the following...The Who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, AC/DC, U2, Queen, The Beach Boys, and others....

    If we are just talking Rock and Roll.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Do the Funk Brothers count? Motown's house band that played on thousands of songs and hundreds of hits?

    any kind of band. Pop, rock or else. As long as it's a mainstream music band.

    I's count them. Or sneak them in as Earl Van Dyke & The Soul Brothers, because they recorded and toured under that name.

    James Jamerson and Benny Benjamin are immortals in my personal pantheon of music.

    Wasn't Bob Dylan's band The Band? Which started out as Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks (also the Canadian Squires), then toured with Dylan, before emerging as The Band and releasing a number of hits on their own--with their "final" concert being recorded as a Martin Scorsese film, THE LAST WALTZ. Seems a disservice to subsume them as "Bob Dylan." That would be like referencing the Beatles only as "Tony Sheridan."
