I can't define 'greatest' so I suspect we will end up with 'favourite'.
I need to come back to the band.

Does greatness mean it has to be recognised by the many? Where does originality come into it and the impact on wider society? Is the impact felt less now by contemporary music because accessibility and originality is more diluted? What about inspiration? Some of the bands mentioned already existed within a boom in culture arts etc. The fact humans "express" themselves online these days - does this mean, such things (as political discontent for example) don't get expressed? What's the inspiration for musicians today?
That's a lot of questions.
It is! These are the questions which came up when I was discussing said topic IRL off the back of this thread.
