Best Rock 'n Roll Band in Rock 'n Roll History?

Rock made its debut in the states in the 1950s. Each decade has produced an evolution of the musical form. But who stands out from the crowd? Any and all responses welcome. There is no right or wrong. The only thing I ask is that you explain why you feel your band is the best.

    The Beatles. No other band had total dominance over the rock genre for such a long period as the Beatles did, and I think they've produced the most prolific and diverse catalogue of hits out of any group. Sure there are bands that have been chugging along for a long time, like The Stones and Aerosmith, but for the better part of a decade, the Beatles were just defining pop music consistently and producing albums loaded with hits every single year. Back in the 60s, there was always Beatles songs at the top of the charts. And their songs are everywhere. So yeah, I'm goin with the Beatles on this one. Not necessarily my FAVORITE band, but in terms of standing out from the crowd, I have no question in my mind about this one.

    in my opinion, i love the 20 minute guitar solos... yet i'm no longer a punk man or woman. The Ramones are truly the purely punk band i love, so I agree that they were very resourceful and massive musicians.
