There is clearly only one acceptable answer for most intelligent life forms: The Beatles.
It's The Beatles and "everyone else". The artists mentioned here would fall under the "everyone else" classification. No other band on Earth has been as beloved or as influential including influencing just about all the artists mentioned so far. It's not "who is your favorite band" but "who is the GREATEST band of all time".

There is no doubt the Beatles are the most beloved. But again, see the list above. Led Zeppelin checks every box, taking ALL things into account. The Beatles are my favorite but when you look at every aspect of what makes a rock band absolutely legendary, Led Zeppelin has the edge. I'd put the Beatles 2nd in this regard. However, musically I do prefer The Beatles myself.
