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.

CCR is more of a Greatest Hits band for me. Deep-diving their discography doesn’t do much for me.

Nah, have you ever listened to Pendulum? It’s like mostly deep cuts and so many of them rip

Its Just A Thought and (Wish I Could) Hideaway are two of my favorite songs by CCR. I also really loved the raw bluesey sound of their debut album. Porterville, The Working Man, Walking On The Water... I'm probably going to put that album on now
