Who has the more diverse, detailed music? Steely Dan vs. Led Zepplin, Beatles, etc

Got in a minor argument with my brother in law. He's a modest guitarist. We were talking about some of the best bands you'd only listen to forever (if you were trapped on a deserted island). Of course, I dropped Steely Dan. He was surprised, but certainly not offended. He did say some of their music was "elevator music-ish". I disagreed. Of course, he dropped that he know more about music than I do (yet he doesn't know who Bill Evans, Michael Hedges, etc. is). Nonetheless...what do you think:
Led Zepplin
The Beatles
The Doors
Pink Floyd
Led Zepplin
The Beatles
The Doors
Pink Floyd

Zep would be the better musicians
Beatles would have the better lyrics and vocals
The doors kinda suck
I think Steely Dan are better studio musicians than any of them. Gaucho was perfection

Most who fail to see the genius of the Dan know little zero about music. When I say "music" I mean the performing/writing part of music.
A lot of that stuff is very difficult to pull off live.

Of those listed, Steely Dan definitely has the most detailed, intricate, complex compositions. That doesn't mean those other bands aren't great though.

People that don't "get" Steely Dan are Philistines

the doors do not belong on that list
you could argue neither does Led Zeppelin but others will disagree
the rest is personal preference although if your criteria is variety of excellence then the Beatles is your answer

New Grass Revival.

I would throw in Fleetwood Mac.

The Beatles were so much more important than people nowadays realize. Every single was an event. They were frontline for almost a decade.

I have no idea what "detailed music" means, but of those four bands, LZ both the best and most musically diverse catalogue, and I honestly don't believe it's a particularly close call.

Zeppelin ripped more people off than the other 3 combined.

I don't see how Zepplin and The Doors fit in here. Both didn't really venture too far away from their schtick. Steely Dan is all over the place, so I get it. The Beatles went from Boy Band, to Rock Band, to Psychadelic Rock Band, to Garage rock band.

Frank Zappa and Prince where also pretty good and diverse.

The Beatles, when you're the kings of melody and lyrics you can play multiple genres with relative ease this isn't rocket science
