I voted for the Beatles although they are not my favorite on the list. Grateful Dead is my all time favorite and a good portion of the rest of them I'd prefer to listen to over the Beatles. But since the poll really wasn't for "favorite" but "greatest" I think the Beatles definitely deserve that honor. Sure others may have been better musicians but in terms of pure creative talent the Lennon/McCartney team really can't be beat. Look at a song like Eleanor Rigby. A fantastic "classic rock" song with no guitars, no drums, no bass. Just vocals and a string quartet. Not many bands could have pulled it off and certainly no one would have thought about doing it before the Beatles did. They were not just pioneers in rock,they really re-defined what rock could be.
