There you go!!! I could only do up to 12 choices and I just sifted through the ones that seemed to surface the most and a few other mentions...

On a serious note, i put 2 things into consideration: Studio work and live work.  I dont need to explain these categories - basically cutting edge, innovative, epic studio albums; and quality of live performances.

Examples of top studio bands, but lacking live epicness: The Beatles, Talkingheads etc

Examples of Top live bands, but lacking studio epicness: Phish, Breakfast, Grateful Dead, etc

Bands with the whole package (best bands ever): Pink Floyd, Zed Zeppelin, Radiohead, etc.

Bands which are borderline epic in both categories: Genesis/Phil Collins, David Bowie, The Doors, The Who, Rolling Stones

The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sagethicket. "Vamanos amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintscraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.  --Eli Cash

Phish is just about the only jam band that could make a great album.
