E.Street Band

Not necessarily without a doubt the very best, but still another candidate. Of course, dependent on what one's taste also may comprise.

Vanilla Fudge

Look them up! What they were, and how they split up and why!

QUEEN

Ian Gillan
Ritchie Blackmore
Roger Glover
Jon Lord
Ian Paice

Not a bad bunch of musicians.

The Band should get a mention too ……..

Totally agree!
But don't let's forget Macca. Paul was and still is a giant.

Probably The Beatles.
Or Sexual Chocolate.

The Rolling Stones of course.

Mick Jagger - best show man in the whole history of rock'n'roll (yes Freddy Mercury might be the best singer but he ain't got the moves like Jagger)

Keith Richards - alone that he somehow managed to survive in spite of all the drugs he took is a big talent. Then he wrote Riffs like Satisfaction, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Start Me Up. Yes Clapton, Vaughan or Hendrix might be better guitarists but they couldn't write such iconic Riffs.

Charlie Watts - yes Bonham, Moon or Palmer can play faster but they don't have the roll like Charlie got it.

Mick Taylor - well, if Mick Taylor isn't talented...

Travelling Wilburys for sure.

I think the band that Bowie put together for his Serious Moonlight Tour (Lets Dance) were sensational as well.

Unfortunately, not all are around anymore.

David Bowie – lead vocals, guitar, saxophone
Earl Slick – guitar
Carlos Alomar – guitar, backing vocals, music director
Carmine Rojas – bass guitar
Tony Thompson – drums, percussion (He played for the funk bank band Chic great Drummer)
Dave Lebolt – keyboards, synthesizers
Steve Elson – saxophones
Stan Harrison – saxophones, woodwinds
Lenny Pickett – saxophones, woodwinds
George Simms – backing vocals
Frank Simms – backing vocals

As far as playing the blues goes (and nothing is better than that), Muddy Waters' band from the fifties is simply out of this world: Muddy, Jimmy Rogers, Otis Spann, Little Walter, Elga Edmonds, occasionally Willie Dixon... Each of them are pure masters in their instruments; Muddy really picked up the best players available to the effect that he himself was technically speaking the weakest link, although the unique rawness of his powerful and distinct voice compensated more than a lot.. The noise they make together with that sort of chemistry is simply transcendental... If there ever is any band I could rate above the Stones, that's the one... (but it is like fathers and sons... The Muddy Waters Band had a baby and they called The Rolling Stones...)

How about the New Barbarians?
With Ziggy Modeliste and Stanley Clarke as your rhythm section. Then you add Ron and Keith our front. Its too bad thaT we did not get more studio recording from this group.

Paul is not a band

Paul's a one-man band on several of his albums, McCartney, McCartney 2 and Choas and Creation.

But, back to the original topic, that first Miles Quintet was aces, as was the group that played on Kind of Blue (Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Wynton Kelly, Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb).

This is so true. No bunch of musicans are better as Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon & Roger Taylor together.

Also all 4 are hit song writers.

What makes May, Deacon and Taylor unique in this context? To me, each and everyone of them sound less innovative and accomplished than other of their contemporaries.

I might not "get" it, though, so I'm just curious

Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock, into their music.(Wiki) So we can say that Queen's music was not rooted in blues, and that's no sin. Their musical arrangements were great, complex and musical, their live performances quite explosive, about the best selling band in the 7-tees and 8-tees. If Freddy Mercury was still alive, Queen would fill stadiums till date, just like the Stones. Conclusion: There must be something that made them quite special, without being The Muddy Waters Band baby, and all the other old school blues greats Blue & Lonesome copy cats. That's quite an innovative achievement, like 'm or not..

I know all this, but compared to others, like Blackmore, Glover, Lord and Paice, or Giles, Lake, Fripp etc., what makes Queen "more talented" - or "the winner" here?

IMO, Queen was a good band, and that's it. The sum of what they produced was bigger than its parts.
