1) The Beatles, hands down. The very model of talentless commercialism. Four Liverpudlian hacks with a good agent.

2) Elvis Presley. Decent enough singer but not good enough to be "The King."

3) Jimi Hendrix. Heckuva guitar player, couldn't carry a tune in a bushel basket. And drowned in his own vomit. I mean c'mon ...

(Dis)honorable mention to Elton John, Madonna, and ALL (c)rappers.

And as a musician, Bob Dylan. As a poet, probably none better. But that VOICE ... A razor blade for the ears ...

You realize that had it not been for The Beatles, a lot of those other bands would not have existed....there are so many musicians that have stated that it was The Beatles that got them interested into becoming musicians themselves.
