Yes, Homegrown Video loves the Grateful Dead

Well..

Beatles for song writing and influence, even though they needed key ingredients, weed from Dylan and acid from the Dead to create their best albums and most resonant music...

But...

If you are going with "Band" as in playing to an audience, which the Beatles hardly did when you get right down to it since they essentially stopped performing live by 64, then you have to go with THE GRATEFUL MUTHA-FUCKIN DEAD!

Played more sold out shows than any other band in history.

Almost single handedly created a genre of music, fusing jazz, blues, bluegrass, rockabilly, and more into one helluva psychedelic blend... "Acid Rock/Jam band"

Wrote music that no only continues to resonate and be played by many bands today, from alt rock to country to jazz but also to classical... which is only matched by the Beatles

Played under the Pyramids during a lunar eclipse, credited with aiding in historic peace accord between Egypt and Isreal

Played at the greatest rock festivals of all time, Woodstock, Monterey, Watkins Glen, and more
