The Best "And The" Band Of All Time

Ringo's first All Starr Band
Keltner
Levon
Danko
Clemons
Preston
Dr John
Walsh
Nils?
Am I forgetting anyone?

Honestly those guys could put on just as good a show without Ringo

 

Prince & The Revolution
I like Kevin Ayers & The Whole World, too

 

I don't know that any of these are the best, but they're on my short list:
Hank Williams and his Drifting Cowboys
Muddy Waters and his 1950’s band (including Little Walter Jacobs, Jimmy Rogers, Elgin Edmonds, Otis Spann, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Pat Hare)
John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers
Louis Jordan & his Tympany 5

 

And the Revolution all the way Baby

 

Impossible for me to pick one

Zappa and the Mothers
Cave and the bad Seeds
Springsteen and the E street band
Petty and the heartbreakers
Prince and the Revolution

And certainly more than that

 

& the E Street Band

 

Buck Owens & the Buckaroos (Don Rich played an important role here)
Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys
Hank Thompson and His Brazos Valley Boys
Buck Naked & the Bare Bottom Boys

 

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - after the breakup of the original collective which included Horace silver, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Kenny Dorham, this was Art's band but he didn't compose much so there were always significant contributions from various members who did - like Wayne Shorter and Bobby Timmons.

 

relevant choice.
the blockheads has continued to make really good albums since Ian's death in 2000.
a real good band.

 

Bob Marley & The Wailers
Edgar Winter and White Trash

 

Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters

... among so many others.

 

Siouxsie and the Banshees
Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions
Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs
Marc Benno And The Nightcrawlers
Dion & the Belmonts

 

Louie Prima and The Witnesses & Keely Smith

 

With the Revolution only one step behind!!
(extra point to the N.P.G. for the beast known as Michael Bland)

 

give me the revolution any time.

 

Oh they're so weird and they're wonderful. You know I read it in a magazine.

 

Murph and the MagicTones for sure.

Disco Swing Party Live from the Holiday Inn Armada Room from 1980 is a classic, despite the candy-ass monkey suits.

 

All bands here are awesome, I say:

Prince & The Revolution

 

Jimi Hendrix and The Experience

 

I agree, The Band is the Band.

Honorable mention for any band playing behind Bob Dylan or Lucinda Williams over the last 20 years.

 

Long John and the Silver Beatles

 

Not to be confused with James White and the Blacks.

 

& the MGs

 

Lol. That’s what I get for posting before reading all of the replys.
