Assuming solo artists are permitted:

 

1. The Beatles

2. (Joint) Buddy Holly, Kendall Payne (not possible to separate)

4. (joint) Queen, Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Cash (again how to separate)

 

(Yes thats 6 but it would be unfair to leave one out)

2. (tie) The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, any act featuring Neil Young, any act featuring Eric Clapton

Let me see if I can guess Zig's:
1 – Beatles
2- Allmomd Brothers
3- The Band
4- CSNY
5- Elvis Costello
Am I right Zig?

Edit: it was typed before I saw Zig's list, even though he did post it first.

I'm including solo Beatle stuff in “the Beatles” BTW. Otherwise that'd be like half my top five.
