In reply to the discussion: Best musical group of all time? [View all]KY_EnviroGuy
(14,488 posts)64. I'll play the contrarian here and vote for the underdogs.
IMO, the best musical groups of our times were (and still are) the studio musicians behind most of the hit records we've all loved but who never get credit for making records into major hits:
For a quick review see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_musician#Studio_band
Examples:
* The Wrecking Crew (Los Angeles, 1960s1970s)
* The Nashville A-Team (Nashville, 1950s1960s)
* The Funk Brothers (Detroit, 1960s1970s)
* The Memphis Boys (Memphis, 1960s)
* The Section (Los Angeles, 1960s1970s).....and many more including some in New York.
A-list studio musicians are still behind many of the hits we hear today and not the well-known "band" musicians. They are my musical heroes.

I always loved them...I still love Iris which even though it was overplayed, I still like it.
