Very tricky,but in no particular order I'd pick my favourite five as
And if I had to pick just one then it's Half Man Half Biscuit
Honourable mentions for Fairport Convention, Martha & the Muffins, Pink Ployd (with Syd), Planxty, Pretty Things and Frank Zappa's various combos.
- Amon Duul II (Tanz Der Lemmings)
- Beatles (Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)
- Creedence Clearwater Revival (Bayou Country)
- Half Man Half Biscuit (Trouble Over Bridgewater)
- Incredible String Band (5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion)

Dear Howard,
I wanted to post that, but was not quite brave enough! [Seemed like a pop thread...]. Other bands have come and gone, but the LSO, has had wonderful times, with only a few fallow periods (notably, perhaps the early thirties} and such a range, unparalleled, I would have thought by any other... One only has to look at the artists, who associated themselves with this unique, self-governing organisation!

Fredrik it was slightly tongue in cheek. Saying that the title is " Greatest band " not group.

My choices from your dichotomies are
Van der Graaf Generator (People You Were Going To)
Beatles
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band (but only just and I still don't understand Trout Mask Replica)
Buzzcocks
The Nolans (because they did a single with Lemmy)
Bauhaus
Sorry, don't know the others to give any view on. Not that my view is of any great importance, of course.
