Fleetwood Mac is the easy and unchallenged #1 in my book.
But I also absolutely love Steely Dan ... from a musical standpoint it's fascinating stuff. It should be, since it's not really a band but more of a couple of guys who call on the best musicians in the world to play with them. I discovered The Dan for myself when a friend made a mix tape for me years ago and included the song "Deacon Blues." I liked it because it mentioned my favorite football team (They got a name for the winners in the world/I want a name when I lose/They call Alabama the Crimson Tide/Call me Deacon Blues).
I would highly recommend a listen to Steely Dan's "Aja" for anyone who digs great pop music or jazz.
