I submit The Who.
I submit The Who.
Tool
Chicago - Terry Kath
Oingo Boingo
To each his own I guess :)
KJ
I concur
though I may ad the Clash, the Ramones, or the Sex Pistols
(however, none would have existed without the Who's influence.)
Number one songs in the USA?
There is a reason Chicago had no #1 songs I think. Did Social Distortion ever have a #1?
Cake
I meant in the US, but feel free to answer from wherever you are.
Social D I don't think ever made it to #1.
Surprising that some of those Chicago songs didn't make it.
I'm believe the Who actually had one #1, with "I can see for miles". Almost positive it was their highest charting.
Velvet Underground -- THE most influential band to never get near the charts.
Black Sabbath
Wikipedia (the source of all truth 
) says "I can see for miles"
made it to #9 in the US.

Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
Paul Westerberg (solo albums)
Velvet Underground (everyone should be forced to listen to Sister Ray once or twice)

Thank you for posting my answer.

If there is a category for commercial success without a #1 hit, I would put Jimmy Buffet at the top of the list.
Crack the Sky
(In the interest of full disclosure, I have personally seen The Who and Led Zeppilin in concert.. Crack the Sky blew me away more than either of them.)
Velvet Underground
Pixies
Yhe Cult, Yes, Rush, Triumph, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Dire Straits, Dio, Stone Temple Pilots, Faith No More, Kid Rock, Rage Against The Machine... the list is endless.
Yes: Owner of a Lonely Heart
Rush: New World Man
Dire Straits: Money for Nothing
Stone Temple Pilots: Plush, Interstate Love Song
Clutch, I dont think they have any number 1s.
Joey
Most indie/alt bands haven't even come close to charting close to the top 10.
"Best" is far too subjective.
