Best American rock band of all time

This is obviously a subjective post. As post suggest “all time” so feel free to go back to to the 50’s and please consider that bands from this millennium may not hold up in a couple decades. Also genre blending bands welcome.

three albums in one year is crazy in itself, but that every one of those albums is a masterpiece is something else, and then two more the very next year? unbelievable... I got into them back in uni and still listen to them to this day, can't say that about a lot of music I listened to in my life... just the perfect combination of four extremely talented guys who couldn't get along for long, but when they did, they gave us some of the best music ever...

If I had to pick a band that dominated the charts in 1968-1970 and then blew up, it would be Sly and the Family Stone.
