Honorable Mentions:
*Note:
I could not bring myself to include bands who have a standout front man who is iconically larger than the some of his band's parts (IE Cream with Clapton or The Experience with Hendrix)
Discuss amongst yourselves...

Of course. It's subjective, so the definition is left to your discretion. That's what makes this type of thread fun; it asks for our opinions.GenJerDan said:It all depends on what you mean by greatest.
I'll have to get back to this topic after further reflection. My Top 5 are easy, but after that it's difficult to decide.
