I'm glad no one has said "The Rolling Stones" or "The Beatles".
Moody Blues, Dire Straits, The Ventures, Eagles, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, R.E.M., Doors, Fleetwood Mac for a start on the Rock side with many more. As for country it would be ZZ Tops, Charlie Daniels, Leonard Skinner, The Highwayman, etc. Too many for me to name really but those are off the top of my head at the moment.

Yep.
My buddy got some really good seats and I saw them in Madison WI. - in '97 I think, on the 4th of July. To see my favorite band play for me was one of the best times I ever had looking back. That, and before the concert I saw some strange things that farmboys don't usually see. Like this one fella talking to a stop light and trying to shake hands with people that weren't there.
My first band I really followed was the Ventures back in the early 60's, followed by the original Moody Blues and Credence Clear Water in the 60's and then in the 70's Dire Straits. I then switched to country and have never looked back. Before them was mostly Elvis, Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson, etc.

If I had to select from their "popular" songs, I would say Magic Bus.
I'm sorry the Yes was the group with the neatest art work though the Who where good also. I still get those two groups mixed up and don't know why their music is really different for the most part. Roger Dean did most Yes album covers and inserts and I flat loved his work. I actually have 3 books of his art work.

I dare you to tell me John Entwistle wasn't stoned when he wrote this!

Barb o oriley has he best scream in rock and roll.
Beatles played love love me do
While the Who were rocking hard with Substitute, Magic Bus, 8 Miles high etc. And they only got better ....
Yes was also good, as was Blind Faith, Derick and the Dominos (Duanne and Eric together were un friggin believeable), The Allman Brothers and more. But The Who was first with that type of hard rocking rock and roll.

Hmm, best concert I remember? 
I really enjoyed the Styx, REO Speedwagon and Foghat concert. Aerosmith is always good in concert too. I think I enjoyed the Steve Miller Band followed by ZZ Top, but I'm not real sure...
Don't get me wrong, I like studio albums, but if they can't hit a lick in concert I always felt they were lacking. Oh, Ted Nugent was the loudest concert I've ever been to. I'm pretty sure I lost some hearing during Great White Buffalo even with napkins wadded up in my ears.

ding ding ding. Joe got it, IMHO. The Who are the best band of all time.
They were amazing. Zepllin and the Dead, Floyd and the Stones all Rock in my book.
What's wrong with the Stones & the Beatles Tree? Not your cup of tea?
They're fine but I don't think they were the greatest of all time...and even
if they were, the people who think they are tend to be very annoying about
their conviction.
Since I was the bell captain at the largest hotel in my area, I got to carry the luggage of several bands. You'd never guess who was the wildest and absolutely destroyed their rooms. Kansas! I didn't care, they tipped a hundred bucks every time I did anything for them (this was all in the late 70's). Three Dog Night partied really heavy too and tipped well. Paul Stanley gave me 300 bucks so Gene Simmons gave me 301 bucks. I was looking for Peter Criss or whoever else was in their band at the time. Freaking Linda Ronstadt had me hauling luggage for hours, running all sorts of personal errands for her and crap and she freaking stiffed me!!! For a tip she offered me an autographed picture. I nearly got fired for telling her to just keep it. I still won't listen to her no matter what since then.
Oh, anybody remember Head East? Their road manager gave me 500 bucks for the whole band. I thought that was awesome! I think a band called Dokken (or something like that) was their warm up band. They all gave me 20 bucks each which was okay, since I don't think they were knocking down big bucks. Let's see, Foreigner, Styx and REO Speedwagon tipped well too. Kenny Rogers gave me 200 bucks for carrying one bag.

The Who
The Beatles

Rush
