      1.) The Who is far superior to Led Zeppelin, this isn't really an arguable point. 2.) Greatest American band? In terms of their quality and importance to the future of rock music it's pretty clearly either The Velvet Underground or The Byrds.https://twitter.com/HankAzaria/status/1260190209985167360 …

      Fairly safe to say that the greatest rock band of all time discussion is USUALLY between The Stones, The Beatles and Led Zep- so what is the greatest AMERICAN rock band of all time?- I know what I think

      I'm not sure how you can defend "the Velvet Underground made more quality music than the Beach Boys." And frankly, when you look at how music is performed & consumed, not just written, the Dead were just enormously influential as well as enduring.

      Nobody can honestly doubt how much I love The Beach Boys. But there were no other Brian Wilsons in this world, and very few who attempted to try that style. The VU were simply far more influential. I'd rather listen to a Beach Boys album (I don't even like the VU's studio stuff!)

      Replying to @EsotericCD @baseballcrank

      Isn’t “But there were no other Brian Wilsons in this world” a pretty strong point in favor of the argument that The Beach Boys are, in fact, the greatest?

      Influence is important - and it'd be a hard case to say the Beach Boys were not influential, and certainly innovative - but my own view of "greatest band" has to lean pretty hard on the largest & greatest body of recorded & live music.

          The VU are easily one of the five greatest live bands in the history of popular music, so that weighs heavily upon me as well.
