I challenge you to find better music.
I happen to have liked "Strawberry Alarm Clock" but to call ANY of those that you have cited as "the greatest band in the history of music" is, IMO, indeed a stretch!
To me, the Beatles are the only group that stays fab year after year.
I was going to go with Air Supply, which I notice is not on your list, but I'll stick with R.E.O. Speedwagon, also not on your list.
Ummm, I'm a little partial to a larger list.
Do I hafta to pick one???
Yeah! Air Supply!
We want Air Supply!
We want Air Supply!
We. Want. Air Supply!
The Leslie Spit Tree-o. Definitely.
Freddie and the Dreamers?
Dino, Desi and Billy?
the hollywood argyles with their singular hit "alley oop"
Heh heh...I nominate The Godz, if only for their momumental achievement 'White Cat Heat.'
The Monkees? Freddie and the Dreamers? The Archies? this thread is a gag right?
The only band that continuously amazes me is
Led Zeppelin, specially since I bought their live concert tripple CD, "How the West Was Won"
Others I like but listen to sparingly. I like to go back and listen to the Blues from the Ist half of the last century, where lies the roots of rock & roll
I almost forgot, for lightrelief --- The Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band
If you really wanna go with the TRUE GREATS as mentioned above, how about including: The Animals, Men Without Hats, Donny Osmond, The Sex Pistols, Milli Vanilli, Boyzone, Paper Lace, Bucks Fizz, and EVERY "rapper" without exception,who make up the most talentless people in world history.
It's good to get stuff like this off my chest now and then, it gets the blood pressure down. Thank you for your patience.
"House of the Rising Sun" by itself excludes the Animals from that list, IMHO.
