Using a previous poster's definition of "band" and "group", I'll go with the band (loosely defined) that had more hits than any other gathering of musicians-The Wrecking Crew. They made the careers of some pretty big names.
Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
When I consider my priorities for this category, I cannot come up with any other than CCR.
Their output as a band was short compared to others, yes..
When I say America's greatest rock & roll band, this = the output or even the basis on which a band formed, had in their DNA, America's roots! It doesn't even matter that we now know CCR formed in California, their DNA as a band transformed their birthplace but it more importantly brought forth the (soul) of get down and dirty) Rock & Roll in it's raw form!
HELL YEAH!
