No competition really
They are on their own level of excellence
The Beatles

The Beatles
I agree they are the BEST but, not my favorite... if that makes any sense.
Absolutely. With me they just happen to be both.
Does AC/DC count? That would be my pick
Yep! I think there has been much debate about what is classified as Classic Rock, but think AC/DC is CR without question!
I also like the Eagles, Bad Company (Paul Rodgers version, please), Stones. Lukewarm on the Beatles, to be honest. I get why they're groundbreaking, but I'm not a fan of their delivery or arrangements. I actually thought I despised them until I saw Across the Universe and realized that I like Beatles songs if the Beatles aren't the ones singing them
The Moody Blues
The Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd
They are totally overlooked on so many levels.
Kiss
The Eagles
Queen (Freddie Mercury is one-of-a-kind)
Paul McCartney and Wings

Ultimately will flip this into a Survey... love me some classic rock!
Would Rage Against the Machine be considered classic rock? It's been twenty years.
They play 90s rock on our classic rock stations.

I would classify them as an alternative band. How about classic alternative?
I like lots of classic rock bands. I'm a prog rock guy, so ELP and Moody Blues come instantly to mind. Boston, the first album. Allman Brothers. I appreciate the Beatles and Stones more than enjoy them (and I particularly appreciate the way the Beatles invented whole new ways to make rock music). The Who before they got silly. Santana is really a guy around whom various groups revolve and take his name, but his music has never gotten old.
But far away above the crowd, like a diamond rises far above the others on the Mohs scale, for longevity, for creativeness, for sheer power of lyrics, is Pink Floyd. In my musical enjoyment and appreciation, they're a class unto themselves.

that's a good question.... Classic Rock is actually more of a "radio format" than a music genre (e.g. Metal, Rap etc.) .... still I figure if it is played on a CR station, someone considers it "Classic Rock" - the bands, like Rage Against The Machine, that are up for debate in the CR category also include NIRVANA, PEARL JAM, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS (and more, but you get the general idea....)
...Classic Rock is indeed a radio format-that grew out of the old "AOR" or Album Oriented Rock designation....and has become a classification for a disparate collection of artists...my faves?:
-AC/DC
-Aerosmith
-Kiss
-ZZ Top
-AC/DC
-Aerosmith

The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Pink Floyd. There are some other brilliant bands: queen, dire straights, guns and roses, the eagles, Tom petty and the heart breakers, Fleetwood mac, etc. But it's those........and then pink Floyd a thousand miles ahead of them all.
2 massive world dominating bands that I have always been a bit "meh" about are the rolling Stones and the Beatles.
