Favorite band or artist of all time?

Steve, the story Eric tells (in The Last Waltz, I believe) is that his reaction upon hearing Music From Big Pink was "Music had been heading in the wrong direction for a long time. When I heard MFBP, I thought, well, someone has finally got it right." He told Ginger and Jack Cream was over, and headed to West Saugerties (the upstate New York hamlet in which the Big Pink house is located) to hang with The Band, waiting, he says, to get up the nerve to ask them to join. He then says it finally dawned on him---they neither required nor desired his services!

All great choices! No one is right or wrong.
Queen would probably be a close second for me (especially old Queen) -1st 5 or 6 albums😎

Stevie Wonder

Favorite? Captain Fantastic. Oh and his lyricist the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
