The Miracles and the Temptations were backed by the Funk Brothers. They get my vote as the band with the most members.

Dire Straits was four guys, sometimes five. Hardly the same.

Most of the bands listed so far are not particularly large. Five or six people is a pretty typical size for a band, especially '60s and '70s bands. Did y'all miss the day they covered shapes and sizes in kindergarten? ;P

There's more than that in the video I posted. Google is your friend.

Today three guys can't get along, much less make multiple albums. 6, 7 and even 8 is an accomplishment.
