that list is bogus!!!
How could they leave some of the following bands off the list??

My list is this (only one band in agreement with their top 5)

2 Booker T and the MG's (Wilson Pickett, Albert King, Aretha Franklin,
et al)
3 The Band (Bob Dylan)
4 The JB's (James Brown)
5 The Section (James Taylor, Jackson Browne)
6 The Icebreakers (Albert Collins)
7 The Heartbreakers (Tom Petty)
8 The Goners (John Hiatt)
9 The Red Hot Band (Clifton Chenier, Jr.)
10 The Mothers of Invention (Frank Zappa)

AND NUMBER ONE, THE BEST,Well, they are blues, not rock
(neither are the Icebreakers) and they never really
had a set name for themselves and they
changed members form time to time, but
Muddy Waters' Band was the best backups of all

Hubert Sumlin
Sam Lay
Willie Dixon
Memphis Slim
Pinetop Perkins
Little Walter
Fred Below
and others

I'm going with MSNBC and Crazyhorse on the list.

There was a show on TV the other night on Tom Petty and
his different bands. I only caught part of it on the transition
from Hearbreakers to solo to the Wilbury's.
Looked like a great show.

i just tivo'd 2 different Petty vids
a 2003 concert and a 2008 concert, haven't watched them yet
probably its not what you are talking about.

anyway, I left the Motown backup band off the list, they should be
somewhere
on the list

and James Brown band, weren't they called the Flames?

He had two bands: the Fabulous Flames and the JBs.

Excuse me, but Saint Arnii has intoned his holy imprecations against talking
about musos and what they do. You two are on notice for potential retribution
from On High.

Was that Jimmy & the Fireballs?

I wanted to put that loose group of LA/Hollywood musicians in the list
but i didn't know they had a name (Kaye, Tedesco & co)

though not a whole backup band, another groupg of
backup misicians of note are the Memphis Horns

also, Tower of Power did backup, I think

That's why I included them: the Fireballs are an independent group that
had hits before adding lead singer Jimmy. Maybe not top-ten material.

There are a few branded horn sections out there. Add Earth, Wind and
Fire's Phoenix Horns and the Miami Horns (Conan, Southside Johnny).
