Santana

Oh, I'm not a big fan, but I hear that Elvis guy was fairly popular.

But seriously, how are The Doors being overlooked so much here?

Because they're an overrated, flaky LA band without a bass player that reunited with Scott Weiland singing for them. Yuck.

Bob Dylan & The Band

I'd like to say the Band too, but they were 80% canucks.

There's this guy named Johnny Cash that I think some people are forgetting here BTW.

Lucinda Williams. Not a band...not pure rock...but pretty tallented.

Guns n Roses, and if you just think of GNR as Appetite, listen to the Use Your Illusions nobody can compare with them.

Carlos Santana was born in Mexico.

Umm... The Doors anyone? As far as longevity and greatness I would put Pearl Jam up there too. But seriously, how are The Doors being overlooked so much here?

The Doors blew. If Morrison had lived, he'd be 250 pounds and opening for Wayne Newton in Vegas tonight.

Has to be the most over-rated band of all time.
