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.

Has any band ever been able to replace dead/lost members with the incredible talent level that they did?

I’m going to augment your statement to talent level/chemistry. Bc it’s easy to throw money and get talent, but chemistry is something that is hard to find and all of their members (even ones with short tenures) had excellent chemistry with one another (and of course incredible talent as you mentioned)

Seems like Mastodon is about to find out. RIP Brent Hinds.
