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.

Van Halen?

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.
