Impossible for me to name three because different genres elicit differrent names. Sinatra, SDavis Jr, Perry Como in one. Peter Paul and Mary, Kingston Trio, Brothers Four in another; Four Lads, Lettermen, Four Freshman in a third, etc etc etc. But sticking to the rock/pop theme, I'll go with The Beatles, The Beach Boys (can't believe no one else mentioned them yet!) and The Eagles. All three groups created songs that were not only popular, but also told great stories that related to real people. Brian Wilson was a genius at taking the typical teenage experience and putting it to music.
