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.

Does it matter that half the band were not from America?

Define “not from America”? Eddie moved to America when he was seven years old, he was raised in the United States and formed the band in the United States.

The band was formed in the United States, they are an American rock band.

Actually YES, I forgot them! Even though I’d still probably put Aerosmith at 1.

I’ve seen Aerosmith at least a half a dozen times, probably more. They’re from Massachusetts and I’m in Providence, back in the day they used to come through here every year playing shows. Good times.
