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.

Can't believe nobody has suggested "The Band" yet. Rock and roll steeped in Americana. Hell, they were even Dylan's backing band when he went electric. They might actually be the perfect rock band.

Agreed but only one member (Levon) )was an American.
