Gentle Giant is EASILY in the top eleven. Their musical arrangement is beyond anything any band in this top 11 was capable of. Led Zeppelin belongs in the top 11, however.
The Beatles are the most over-rated rock group of the 20th Century, and the first 13 years of the 21st.
At best, they were a mediocre pop group. At their worst, they were an overblown, overwrought, self-indulgent bunch of pompous gasbags that contributed greatly to the amoralization of culture that happened in the late 60s.
