Greatest American Rock Artists/Bands


Sunwarriord

Recommended Posts

Since a lot of the greatest rock artists/bands came from the UK and so on, what do you think is the greatest AMERICAN rock band/arist?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorites are the Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Lyrnryd Skynryd, Van Halen, Grand Funk Railroad, Aerosmith and if metal counts, Metallica.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also Jimi Hendrix if he counts, he was American, but his band started over theerrr in Britain.

The Eagles are def the best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other decent ones: Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, KISS is actually alright, Lynyrd Skynyrd...Come to think of it almost every single band/artist who is good is from UK. It's almost scary.

In recent years I have been incredibly impressed with The Killers, most other non english decent rock bands tend to be from canada rather than america.

If we count metal also, then (old) Metallica and Deicide. Kult ov Azazel and Megadeth are also ok, but not a huge fan of theirs. For some reason yankee music doesn't "hit" me.

I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.

You guys are crazy...Pink Floyd IS the best band ever to release a song, and they will continue to be the best until all people die. If you don't like Pink Floyd, you either don't like music at all or you're just an idiot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How is that in any way relevant?

Dreaming of that face again

It's bright, and blue, and shimmering

Grinning wide

And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

At the Pink Floyd guy: Of course Pink Floyd is great, but your comment was like telling someone who asked for your phone number your adress :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back on topic: What about Simon & Garfunkel (rock?)?
