I hoped for years they would reunite with Gabriel. I would have mortgaged my house to see that concert.
Amazing that the list got this far and nobody mentioned Elton John. His songbook is so memorable.
In terms of musicianship I would have to rate Earth, Wind, and Fire as my top pick but I listen to The Eagles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and even Survivor (When Seconds Count), and Journey when I’m looking to rock out.
I lost interest in rock somewhere in the 1980’s and switched to jazz when the pop music business discovered heavy metal, boy bands, grunge, and rap.
Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays are literally their own category closer to jazz and way beyond pop.
