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.

Get high and listen to Wake Of The Flood and you might agree with OP, though.

Have done. Would prefer to do that with I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (or at least ten other YLT albums) any day of the week.
