By virtuoso, I mean bands which could jam. So that automatically
excludes, ABBA, Beatles, Bee Gees, Beach Boys etc.

I am leaving out those jazz fusion bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra,
Dixie Dregs etc. I am also leaving out electronic bands like Kraftwerk,
Tangerine Dream etc.... This is a only ROCK list.

...and this is not a *MOST VIRTUOSO* list.

Based on number of 5 star albums

(the arty dopey ones...)
01. Led Zeppelin (6 albums: 1, II, III, Untitled Album, HOTH, PG)
02. Yes (5 albums: Yes, TYA, Fragile, CTTE, Relayer)
03. Pink Floyd (4 albums: TPATGOD, ASOS, TDSOTM, WYWH)
04. Van der Graaf Generator (3 albums: HTHWATOO, PH, Godbluff)
05. Velvet Underground (2 albums: VUAN, WL/WH)

(the loud jamming ones...)
06. Deep Purple (1 album: MH)
07. Rush (1 album: AFTK)
08. AC/DC (1 album: BIB)
09. Black Sabbath (1 album: Paranoid)
10. Who (1 album: WN)

This list is almost perfect. You just left one header off. I have
corrected this below.

Thats a myth. Only Sid Vicious couldnt play and he didnt play in their
only album they release.

Please tell me how you can have "Top 25 virtuoso rock bands of all time" as
the defining subject line and then say it is not a *MOST VIRTUOSO* list?
Wouldn't *MOST VIRTUOSO* mean the best, top of the genre, etc....? You
contradict yourself, though I really shouldn't be surprised, should I?

How do you manage to hold a job in IT with your logic skills? Wait a minute,
you work for a bank, don't you? Never mind.....
