Best AMERICAN Rock Band?

[JfizzleBlazer]

N.W.A is better than Smashing Pumpkins and Blink 182.

Weezer is better than N.W.A

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

The sound of a pumpkin being smashed is better than Smashing Pumpkins.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Red Hot Chili Peppers is better than Blink 182.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

I think Pearl Jam should be on the list at least. 30 plus years going strong and refused to sell out to try to be a mainstay.

Metallica

The Eagles
Tom Petty and the heartbreakers. Best greatest hits album ever.

Bob Marley's Legend is the best greatest hits album.

Pearl Jam is one of my favorites from that era. Very soulful rock band. I’ve got Eddie Vedder’s solo ukulele recording and it’s great as well

Weezer is better than N.W.A

Weezer isn't even better than Ezra

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Black Flag!

 

[BigGameDamian]

You also can’t leave out Van Halen, Metallica and Guns N Roses.

The Blue Album is perfection. Every song on that cd is awesome.

Van Halen. How could i not think of them!

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Bob Marley's Legend is the best greatest hits album.

its great, but how can you beat tom petty? 15 songs in is Mary Janes Last Dance.

The epitome of simple rock to perfection. Its weird because i never really cared for TP until i listened to it and realized just how many big hits he has.

What about Love?? I mean Heart?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Love Tom Petty. My spouse didn't listen to him much growing up. Played some of his stuff and she asked me if Tom was on drugs when he made his music.

Yes. Yes he was.

Ever seen the movie “The Postman” with Kevin Costner?

I know of it but have never seen it. Looked it up and saw Tom is in it. Was he good in it?

my wife's favorite band...I took her to see them at the Cuthbert ampitheater in Eugene on the river and it was amazing....Heart definitely another good call.

Does Tesla or Skid Row get the nod?

 

[riverman]

People think of them as a pop MTV band but Huey Lewis and the News kicked ass live...I did sound for them at a gig they did and they blew me away...great, tight rock band. Eddie Money as well...great rock bands from the Bay area

Did you watch the Greatest Night in Pop? Most incredible pop/rockumentary ever.

I prefer Skid Row, Slave To The Grind is still heavy today

I really wish I could have seen them live; I loved their music so much as a kid.

If North America counts, I gotta put Rush in there.
