   Had to go with the Stones.  Brian Jones was awesome, Keith kicks ass, Mick is awesome, Charlie and Bill are a great rhythm section.  I love the Who a lot and the Kinks and the Zombies and Yardbirds, etc but the Stones get my vote this time.

	Crap, I dunno...Deep Purple Mark 1! No, but seriously folks, maybe the Who. Maybe more than the Stones. Maybe.

	My knowledge is limited but out of those listed the Who, but the Kinks had some great songs, never been that impressed by the Stones.

	uhhhh, none of them, send 'em all back I say... but seriously, probably The Zombies for their well-kempt appearance

	If the Kinks hadn't had a habit of doing everything they could to screw their success up, I figure they would have gone on to pass the Stones as group # 2 from the UK. I went through their collection last year, & gathered from different sources an anthology that I left no more than 20 % of their studio output off. Their 60s albums, including the early "rockers" are better than the Stones work until Mick & Keith started hitting the bull's eye with Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed et al. And while the middle part of the 70s was a creative wasteland for them, they did start those years with major musical pieces that should have received more attention than just the song "Lola".

	My vote goes to the Zombies. Totally underrated, although the Stones and the Kinks are close behind.
