3 to 5. 2 is a maybe depending on the quality of their live performance. 5 is only acceptable if including a keyboard player. Over 5 is bad because it allows for a dedicated brass/woodwind/viola style member, which always looks stupid.

4 members is best, imo (pic related)

69

or 420

3-5 with far being the best. However, if the music requires a lot of layers of instrumentation like mid to late period beach boys, then as many as necessary.

dubs and 4 is the best number for a band

4 is the patrician number of band members:
>1 guitarist (can also play keyboards occasionally)
>1 bassist (can also play keyboards occasionally)
>1 drummer
>1 singer (can also play guitar and/or keyboards occasionally)
