deeply offended that Bachman Turner-Overdrive makes the grade but Screaming Trees do not.

luckily Breeders hasn't always been Kim/Kelly, so I can answer AC/DC without reservation. Those two brothers re-shaped rock 'n roll and distilled it into a damn near perfect package.

waffles for The Kinks, but Ray dominates where Angus and Malcolm collaborate

Jesus, I never realized how many great bands have featured siblings. This list is great and doesn't even include CCR, The Jackson 5, The Shangri-Las, or The Isley Brothers.

The Kinks are the first band I think of when I think of sibling bands, but Sly & The Family Stone is my pick here. Sorry AC/DC, The Stooges, and The Breeders.

Would the void left if AC/DC had never existed been filled elsewhere? I'm inclined to think yes, even though I agree, re-shaped R&R, created the template, etc.

Were the Kinks actually better than the Beatles, and if yes (I think definitely maybe) doesn't that mean they win by default?

However, if the Stooges hadn't existed, I think that most of the underground we know today would be completely different. I think they might've re-shaped things more than anyone else. From Minutemen to mudhoney to metallica to motorhead to St. Vincent.....they're in everything.

The Stooges.

I didn't pick AC/DC because that sound had Slade, Alex Harvey, and others as antecedents. They did their own thing with it. Dave Davies arguably invented heavy rock; there were some blues songs based around heavier riffs, but he really put it all together in a rock context.
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.
