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)


The Wrecking Crew, Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, the Fireballs.

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
