The power and influence of Nickelback is unmistakable, but for sheer lyrical and harmonic genius one would have to go back to Ace of Base or Hootie and the Blowfish. Hootie’s dynamic range and singular brilliance as a bassist and accordionist, and triangle player are, in short, incomparable with any modern master composer/performer, including Kevin Federline and even Spandau Ballet.

Genesis. The unbelievable dynamics of that band live makes listening to their recordings a disappointment. Been playing "Trespass" a lot lately, no Phil or Steve on it, but I think it's got some of Peter's best vocal work on it.

Beat me to it, but for me it was a toss-up between Led Zeppelin, Scorpions or Pink Floyd. But I have to go with Pink Floyd, especially “Dark Side of the Moon.”

Technically, the 50-year cut-off takes the Beatles out of the mix. Although each had an impressive career following their breakup, the magic and synergy was lost.
If you went with a 60-year cut-off, the Beatles would be my pick with CCR the runner-up.

Rolling Stones the classic rock band, better than the Beatles
Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
Queen for sure
Dylan in a class by himself
Iron Butterfly most definitely
