Beach Boys produced a lot of good music over the years;
over-shadowed by Beatles and weren't "cool" with the
record buying public of the day...probably is the forgotten
band. Great live act!
Boston- couple of albums and sold zillions, not enough
longevity to be top 10...music seems dated, today?
Culture Club- more noted for non-musical pursuits. Almost
a cartoon; nostalgia is great! (Few good tunes, but not
super-stars).
Sometimes hard to separate "good" bands from "favourite"
bands...

Top 10 favorite groups? Lets face it, this can only be opinion. There are just so many arguments to be made... Anyway, this would be mine: 1. Guess Who; 2. Steely Dan; 3. Bruce Hornsby & The Range; 4. Emerson Lake & Palmer; 5. Peter Gabriel; 6. Rolling Stones; 7. Beatles; 8. Tragically Hip; 9. Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass; 10. Led Zeppelin. I don't know, this list could change from day to day...

Peter Gabriel, a group? I love the man, don't mistake it, but even with his recent weight gain, I wouldn't classify him as a group. One of my favorites, most definitely.

I agree with including solo artists (although I would tie BC into the same legacy with TGW). My Favorite 10:
Guess Who?
Beatles/John & Paul solos
Steely Dan/Fagen solos
Robert Palmer
10CC/Godley & Creme/Wax UK
Badfinger
Squeeze
John Cougar Mellencamp
Smithereens
Dave Edmunds/Rockpile
Spirit/Jo Jo Gunn

Wow, a Smithereens fan! Do you have their version of "Shakin' All Over"?

John Mellencamp--all right!
So, how about a groups only list and then a group/single list. I say this because most of the time, when a group member goes off to do single work, it is definitely different from what was produced by the group.
