then it's even more simple.
elvis presley and the jordinares.
i wouldn't know a black keys if I heard them.
CCR is a sham. "born on the bayou" --- whatever.
obviously The Dead and ABB are personal favorites. on any given night both were capable of being the greatest, --- or the worst. that made them the most exciting.
talking heads, ramones, alex chilton have to be considered.
REM brought us all back from the electronic music that ecstasy led us to believe sounded good.
all that being said, but from a technical stand point of "greatest", I'll go with North Mississippi Allstars followed closely by Mule.
NMAS gets the nod because of percussion.

Maybe it's sacreligous to say this in the world of rock but I'll say it anyway
I frickING HATE ELVIS.
And if you've watched TV in the past 5 years you know a black keys song. You might not know its them but it is physically impossible to walk through today's world without hearing their music on at least a weekly basis.
And if you want to discuss "greatest talent" then I'll whole heartedly agree with you on NMAS but I think more has to go into a "Greatest" conversation than just talent.
Like I said earlier you need: Legacy, musicianship and popularity...... Very few bands can achieve all three and that's what makes them great.

Not the biggest RHCP fan but they have to be in the discussion.
