You got to add ten.

The Beatles have the most songs in the songbook in all three categories; show tunes, slow tunes and dance tunes.

Led Zeppelin
Rush
Yes
Pink Floyd
Kansas

The Stones were the best rock band. The Beatles were more, they transcended rock.

Off topic, but the first time I ever managed to get high (weak late 60's weed) was to Whole Lotta Love. That music going back and forth between speakers was great. And it was snowing big wet heavy flakes......a nice memory.

Beatles for being the Beatles.
Jimi, Janice and Jim (Doors) for RIP
Led Zep for the best string of LP's in a short time that never had a single bad song
Pink Floyd for outright creativity
Stones for longevity
Rush for 2112, perhaps my favorite album of the late 70's (when I wasn't listening to J Geils or Van Halen)
Bowie for that Bowieness
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, best song of an era
Who's Teenage Wasteland, as an anthem for HS Freshman, and Tommy, the Rock Opera
INXS for the 80's
Pearl Jam in the 90's
Kinx for Walking on a Thin Line
Robin Trower on the Bridge of Sighs
Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic


Best of all? **** me. Can't decide. Gotta be Beatles or Led Zep, I guess.

Stones are my favorite but I'd give the crown for the best to the Beatles.

You're starting to freak me out. My first listen to 'Back in Black' by AC/DC was at a state fair on Crate speakers, while high on Mex brown. The second was at Putt-Putt golf listening to Zepplin sing 'All of My Love.'

lol...Putt-putt sure takes me back. We played the Rumors LP by Fleetwood Mac while burning fatties on the way to the mini-golf joint. And, yeah, it was mex brown. Of course, one day we got a hold of some redbud and all almost gagged before getting super stoned.

Well, it depends on what you mean by best band? Best rockers, best partiers, best guitarist, most talent and virtuosity, best concert, best performers, best writers, but what is good? Ballad, composition, head banger, rocker, dance?

Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever had it's moment. I think I was in 8th grade.
 
I saw the Stones live in 1994. It was the most amazing concert I've seen. The sound was spectacular, especially considering it was an outdoor stadium. They started on time and played an extra 40 minutes. The wings of the stage spanned the entire width of the football field and Mick Jagger used every foot of it all night. And that all in performance was for a middling size city in Canada.

We saw them in 81, I think it was, at CU. Heart opened, and totally bombed.
