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.

Aerosmith OR The Eagles OR The Beach Boys OR Journey. It’s tough to think of anyone else that’s had a bigger impact on rock and roll in the USA. Statistically this is the correct answer. It’s tough to pick just one.

Very few mentions for Aerosmith and they really have an argument for #1 overall. Longevity, tons of hits, cultural impact, membership stayed intact way better than most bands.
