Queen from 1971 to 1991 unbeatable lets get that stated first here, but other bands i must point out where a little underrated
from the 1970s, like "The Sweet & "Pilot" who's guitar sounds had BrIan May influences in them and Queen harmonies.
I agree with Mike here in that Axl Rose is very overrated as a front man and let's face it he cannot sing for toffee.
Nirvana are just crap.

As I always say to my friends when similar discussions are taking place, I guess most of us here will have a similar approach:
Queen is in the "A-list". And that list starts and ends with Queen. That doesn´t mean I am still obsessed and think the world revolves around them . But I´ve felt that way for a big part of my almost 42 years. So I know they will keep that status til the end.
But then there´s the "B-list". And there are dozens of artists there that I really love, while considering myself a big, big fan of a few of them, (almost reaching the "Queen status"):
Springsteen, Bowie, Supergrass (or anything Gaz Coombes does), Extreme (or any solo/side work from Nuno Bettencourt), Steve Vai, Chris Cornell, Foo Fighters (and the solo work from Taylor Hawkins)... and the old GNR (I love they are touring again with the almost "classic" line-up, but indeed Axl lost his mojo many years ago).
And then my B-list goes on with The Beatles, the Stones, Pink Floyd, Prince, Manic Street Preachers, Neil Young .....

supergrass is one of the most, if not the most, underrated "britpop" band, besides being my fave (from the genre). i had the chance of seeing they live before they disbanded and 15 years later, it's still one of the best concerts i've ever been to. gaz solo career is also great, his third album will be out in a few months, def looking forward to.

Queen did have some Led Zep influence, at that time on their first two heavy rock albums, but after that they were totally original and had their own genre - I call it "pomp rock" in the mid 70's followed by their own distinctive brand of art rock and arena rock. They even diversified into synth pop in the 80's and were more diverse than Zep in this respect.
They have eventually sold more records than Zep
If I’m honest Queen were better in the early years and the Beatles were better in their later years...not saying who was best just more accomplished song writing....you also cannot rule out Led Zep
