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.

I’d be the exception, though I do respect John Fogerty. I feel the same way about Creedence as I do about Bob Seger: they’re not bad, just not inspiring to me in any way.

Yes they do, and if the category had been “Most American-sounding rock band of all time,” they might be contenders…
