What’s the greatest band of all time?

So, I haven’t talked about music in a long time, and I think that should be remedied (hmm, yeah, for what is aligning me, you see).  Well, I’m back to asking the questions of readers, and this one (if you’ve read the subject) should be no surprise: 

What’s the greatest band of all time?

Now, let’s set up a couple of guidelines/rules, and here they are:

1. Let’s say that the answer cannot be the Beatles.  I say that because a.) it’s true and b.) I want people to be creative and think.  Also, this is my blog, and I set the rules…
2. The band can be from any genre.
3. Give an explanation why they are the GoaT.  The band may not have the respect that they deserve.  So, it’s alright if it is not an “obvious” answer.
4. List your answer and explaination in the comment section and be prepared to defend your answer.

I’m racking my brain, because of course, the GoaT band is the Beatles.  So, having them off the board is a challenge.

I’m narrowing it down to three bands:  The Black Crowes, Nirvana, and The Police.  Of course, I’m going into the rock genre because that’s my cup of tea.  I’m going to spend the next day or so crafting my answer from one of those three bands.  I think you’ll be surprised by my choice, but I want to have hard facts.

So, dear reader, give your answers.  Throw into the mix, and have some fun.  Check back in a day or two and see what my own answer is.  Oh yeah, if anyone answers Abba, I might have to contact the authorities in your area.
