RIP to Robert Hunter, one of the great lyricists for one of the great bands of the rock era. "And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there."

The Byrds (certainly the most important/influential of them all), Velvet Underground, Grateful Dead, Beach Boys, maybe add in Creedence. The Doors are atrocious.

There's a bunch of bands like REM and the Eagles that belong high on the list, but that I couldn't see as a plausible #1.
