Talent-wise:

Led Zeppelin
John Bonham - good but not great
John Paul Jones - good
Jimmy Page - excellent (although he seemed spotty in concert)

Who
Pete Townsend, John Entwistle, Keith Moon - all amazing musicians

Beetles - all good (not excellent) except for Ringo who was barely passable as 
a drummer

Stones - all good but their style more than made up for any shortcomings

Although musicianship has a lot to do with it - I think you have to measure 
greatness with vision and innovation and all of the above had that - that's for 
sure.
