See, e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM7SYuhQ0yk The Who were the best at times. No one else like them, in any case.

No 'probably' about it IMO. Certainly in the E Street Band era.

Although I'd still argue that the Stones up to 1973 would shade The Who.

Prince circa 1987-88 (and occasionally since) would run 'em all close, as would Dylan '65-66 and again in the mid 70s., Marley & The Wailers in the 70s and of course Hendrix.

Dylan 1997 - Present.

has dylan ever had a bad band?

Ones that didn't work out, definitely. The one with G. E. Smith and a drummer didn't jell, though good intentions abounded. I blame lack-a-day Bob there - I saw one of the shows.

Rolling Thunder Revue playing the Desire songs was definitely first-rate big-sound chaos and cacaphony. I just listened to the CBS anthology of RTR and it's missing the "wall of sound" in the originals. Turning Scarlet Rivera down was a bad move applied to a great band. I saw the afternoon show at Niagara Falls.

Anytime Keith rips off an open G riff it's all the magic in the world right there. It doesn't get better than seeing the Rolling Stones launch into Brown Sugar or some other high-octane classic.
