Hard to choose for my top spot, but Floyd gets it for longevity, but The Doors were something else.. 1967 to 1971. 

1. Pink Floyd
2. The Doors
3. Chicago (70s)
4. Led Zeppelin
5. The Who

and then a lot of prog.. some international.. less jazz. even less classical.

I did bands before so a list of solo artists this time

1. Vangelis
2. Mike Oldfield
3. Kate Bush
4. Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes)
5. Steven Wilson

Top 3 are well out in front of anyone else in my book for creativity and longevity. Natasha Khan has produced 5 masterpeices in my view (3 of those received Mercury prize nominations) so I struggle to understand why she isn't talked about, I'd say 'more often' but actually just at all would be nice! Wilson is almost as good as her!!
