Definetely The Who. Great lyrics and powerful music.

What's the point of voting if Megadeth is obviously the best band in history?

Tough one.
Do you know what..I just don't get The Who at all. I've tried but I just don't like/get 'em.

Best band? I can listen to just about any Pink Floyd song, Metallica gotta be up there too....oh yeah 'Take That'. Great Band:)

I was gonna throw in another vote for Pink Floyd, but it's hard to compare anyone to Spinal Tap. They're in a league of their own. ;)

Hands down the Doors. I would also put a vote in for ZZ Top and Pink Floyd. And of course there's always Hendrix. I think I may be giving away my age group here so I'll shut-up.
