I don't want to hear any of these today (maybe a rare Stones song or old Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac), so to me, all of these are overrrated.
More heavy prog, please!

I've seen all but Fleetwood Mac live and they all put on tremendous shows, none more heartfelt than Springsteen.   But U2 and the Stones shows (in the 80s that is) were worth their weight in gold.

As a non-native-speaker I don't really see how to distinguish rate and appreciate so that it makes a real difference.


But

No.
Who is the best band ever then?

With all MY knowledge (saying it's not that much) I'd say that at least PF and Yes are really better. And that's just because I don't know more good (prog) bands good enough. 

They have far more complexity in their music. Every motive is repeated in sophisticated ways in different layers (which they also have more) and are fully, for the lack of a better way, exploited, making it much longer tracks. Compare it with classical music, as far as I know nothing can beat that. Also for example chord progressions. While The Beatles used the 3-chord standard rock 'n roll sequence pretty often, I don't see that happening with Yes or PF.
Way better lyrics. Especcially old Beatles stuff says nothing more than I love you. 
New album! "A Moment of Thought"

^Celebrated way too much is my definition, but it's only mine. Others use the term differently, I'm afraid.
 
And the Beatles will be in a future poll!

I've just never seen the point of Marley's music. 
 
There, I've said it.  Out loud.

U2. I might consider them more artistic if they new how to play their instruments.
