I would think it would have to be either ABBA or Queen. ABBA members are treated like gods in their home country of Sweden and while they would be honored I'm sure, they seem to have more adulation than any one group could stand, and their list of awards is quite long. Queen was nominated once, but did not win. Being from the UK probably hurt their chances, but they were so huge in the US that it is surprising that they never won. Their "Bohemian Rhapsody" has been in multiple movies, sitcoms, advertisements, it is the standard sing along anthem of the 1970's. Now that Freddie Mercury is gone, I doubt that the band cares too much about missing accolades, and even during their day, Grammy awards just don't seem as big to rock bands as to some other groups, like songwriters, soloists, lyric writers, producers, etc. Bands get their notoriety and adulation directly from the fans, while these other folks that are involved often do not.
