Spot on. The Stones would sell out the place in about six hours. Maybe less. And I think U-2 is a good candidate for the second best band in the world.
But the Stones have the body of work. They have the longevity. And while their current work (at least in the studio) isn't up to what they have done in the past, it's still head and shoulders better than what I hear form "rock" bands on the radio. I think they are the unquestioned Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World. (Hell, even Pete Townsend agreed.)

Maybe this should be called "your" fav rock band as you'll get 10000"s of different answer's. That being said I tend to appreciate bands that changed the way we listened to music and made us (me) go "wow", so for me the big 3 (already mentioned) for me: Credence Clearwater Revival-John's unique voice and reverb and tremelo ladened guitars were just great. A bunch of guys from Cali. that could take you to the swamp in a matter of seconds. Van Halen, Eddie changed guitar playing forever. Nirvana-they CHANGED the face of rock and roll, single handedly killed glam rock. And if your old like me anything from Motown. James Jamerson was one of the greates bassist in the world.

If I had to pick one, I'd say Queen. They changed Rock forever. I love most of what they did (including the recordings with Montserrat Caballe) but their orchestral pieces are art. Of course, I like ELO for the same reason 
edit:@ Prolongus~You know what they say. If you can remember it, you weren't really there

Two best shows I have ever seen:
Metallica at Jack Murphy Stadium
Rolling Stones at Jack Murphy Stadium
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Fpv...eature=related
Either would sell out Cowboys stadium in a heartbeat.

The direction of this thread tells you everything you need to know about the current state of affairs with rock and roll: virtually everyone now is listing bands whose best work is behind then...in some cases by several decades.

Aerosmith is back in the studio recording something new. Metallica is still recording.
I like a few current bands but just don't have the emotional connection with them yet. Linkin Park is one of the few.

I was the biggest Aerosmith fan in the world years ago...my first concert (warmup band was Rush and tix were 7 bucks the day of show!) which i hitchhiked to. but they just plain suck now. and have for years. i wish they would just hang it up. saw a clip a while back and Stephen Tyler was holding hands with oprah and crying...fucking pathetic. real rock stars don't do oprah...and they don't cry on tv.
