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.

If we're allowing anything from the 50s to be categorized as "rock", then it's Buddy Holly & The Crickets.
Honourable mentions go to the Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen w E-Street, and as a Canadian (as my spelling of honourable might reveal), I'll loan you The Band.
