Best Band To Happen To Music EVER

Which band do you think deserves this award?

I'd say mine goes on 2 close-calls and one definite.

Close call 1: Led Zeppelin (Talented hacks)
Close call 2: Rolling Stones(Do I even need to explain?)
DEFINITE BEST: Velvet Underground. These Welsh-posers even tried to not just to entertain, but to challenge, to prove that rock ‘n’ roll could be dangerous again. I wish I had gone to high school with these dudes so I could've let them fuck the shit out of me.

What the fuck is wrong with this thread? Why hasn't anyone mentioned Pink Floyd yet? And THE best band doesn't exist, it all comes down to your personal taste, but I'm gonna list a few anyway:

Pink Floyd - I think no arguing here, they are simply one of the best bands that ever existed and if you don't agree with me, you have no taste in music

Led Zeppelin - Great, great music, although some of their songs kinda suck until Jimmy Page starts playing

Black Sabbath - Their influence especially on Metal (they nearly created this genre on their own) and music in general is undeniable. I've seen them live last year and it was incredible. Those guys could be my granddad's granddads and they still rock.

Deep Purple - Listen to their album "Machine Head" and you know why they're in this list

Queen - Everybody knows them, everybody loved them, and for a reason: Great music, great live show

Nirvana - They haven't done a single song which sucks in my opinion

Metallica - Created the best metal album ever, "Master Of Puppets". Today they're only making crap though.

Oh yeah, I'm not gonna list the Beatles here. Why not? They were the Backstreet Boys of the 60ies which just happened to learn some stuff about music along the way. Their first albums are really crappy and the only thing they did was help other bands emerge.

Hmm, probably I forgot some bands, ah whatever
