Nope. Stones and Beatles tied at 1 with the original GnR lineup as a solid 2.
Hard to say between Creed and Nickleback so I'll go with Matchbox 20. Or the Stones.
Not one of you sorry sons a bitches got it right yet.
The only answer for any by god American is
Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I’ll have to say that it’s AC/DC.
No ballads, no special acoustic numbers, no sugary-sweet made to be radio friendly sellout songs. Just straight up, hard core, Rock. And that Scottish/Australian lead guitar player, Angus Young, is a little badass. One of the greats!

You spelled Allman Brothers wrong.
Malcolm was the magic of AC/DC.
You spelled The Allman Brothers Band wrong. (Smiling emoji)
Wow, lots of diversity...there is no wrong answer...I do agree however Guns n Roses = warmed over garbage.
The two-headed baby created by Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Molly Hatchet having sex, duh.
Tough question.
No doubt The Beatles were the greatest pop band... but were they "rock"?
Led Zep really created "hard rock"... and arguably "heavy metal" as well (yeah, I know Sabbath, and Cream get credit for creating this category more often that not).
Stones? Well, they balanced the anger of rock with some pop sensibilities... not really a hard rock band, but certainly edgier than the Beatles.
I'll vote "The Rolling Stones".

This question, of course, is purely subjective and a matter of taste.
However, IMO, the correct answer is Led Zeppelin, and it's not really even close. From a pure rock standpoint, they had a top 5 singer, lead guitarist, and drummer. JPJ was also severely underrated for his contributions to the band as well.

Jeff Beck Group
Jeff Beck: Lead guitar
Rod Stewart: Vocals
Ron Wood: Rhythm guitar, Bass
Aynsley Dunbar: Drums
The lineup evolved over time, especially at bass and drums. But in addition to the 3 regulars, the band ALSO had the following session musicians on the first album:
Jimmy Page: Rhythm guitar
John Paul Jones: Bass
Keith Moon: Drums
Nicky Hopkins: Piano
Jeff Beck: Lead guitar
Rod Stewart: Vocals
Ron Wood: Rhythm guitar, Bass
Aynsley Dunbar: Drums

Have to disagree with much of your statement. Full disclosure: I don't like LZ. Never have, never will. Plant, imo, is awful. Just wailing and screeching about orcs and Mordor and weird-*** ****. JPJ - agree, underrated. Page - awesome guitar player and underrated as a producer. Got real sloppy at times but can't find too much fault with him. Bonham - imo, overrated. Who the hell wants to listen to a 15-minute drum solo? While a powerhouse sound, not sure he was versatile enough to fit in with many other bands (see Keith Moon, for another example). Somewhat unique style so I'll give him that but just not enough 'roll' with the 'rock' for my taste.
Again, don't like LZ so my opinion is definitely biased. I'm in the minority, of course, but that's why there are so many different bands and genres out there.
The Stones, Led Zeppelin or AC/DC are the best rock bands for me. The Beatles are the greatest pop music act.
