Beatles

Stones

The Band

The Clash

Bob Marley & The Wailers

###If Dylan was a band, he'd be up there as well#####

Honorable mention:

The Pogues
The Who
The Kinks
Cream
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Byrds

You're right Davido, I could sub The Only Ones for Television, they're both really fanatstic bands, commercially flawed perhaps but giants compared to much of the dross currently dominating the racks of your local supermarket.

I'd also add The Libertines as another strong contender.

But Television and their fabulous debut album Marquee Moon are just the best ever.

ROLLING STONES
Xpensive Winos
Faces
Willy and the poor Boys
Rocket 88


Special Mention:

Dirty Mac
John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers
New Barbarians
The Jeff Beck Group
Little Boy and the Boy Blues

Stones
Doors
Deep Purple Mk II
Thin Lizzy
P Mobil
Gasolin'

Cant exclude any of those.
