Re: Best American rock band??
The problem with American bands is the good ones (Nirvana, Hendrix, GNR...) don't seem to last long. Its hard give these bands that were great for a few years to the ones that were great for decades.

I'd probably go with the Hendrix lead bands The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Gypsy Sun and Rainbows/Band of the Gypsies. Noel Redding was English (and I think Mitch Mitchell but I'm not sure about him) but Hendrix obviously was American. I'm not a big fan of Aerosmith but their early stuff was pretty good. Most of the good famous bands came later - Pearl Jam, Nirvanna for example. edit: yeah I forgot the eagles. [/ QUOTE ] WOW I would have bet a large amount of money that The Greatful Dead or Fish would have been included in your post. Also somehow I agree with your post. |

Pretty surprising that neither The Ramones nor The Velvet Underground have been mentioned yet. I vote for VU, by a lot.

As far as I'm concerned, early aerosmith was as good as anything ever made. [/ QUOTE ] Rocks is still one of my favorite albums. Their Live! Bootleg album is great too. They were incredible until they sobered up - I liked Permanent Vacation and Pump, but the early stuff is just better. |
