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.

One of my all time favorite bands, but they had some lean years and also stopped playing for much of the 80's. Around 73 they were the biggest selling band around. This is not an easy question that the OP asked.

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

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