Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?

When I consider my priorities for this category, I cannot come up with any other than CCR.

Their output as a band was short compared to others, yes..

When I say America's greatest rock & roll band, this = the output or even the basis on which a band formed, had in their DNA, America's roots! It doesn't even matter that we now know CCR formed in California, their DNA as a band transformed their birthplace but it more importantly brought forth the (soul) of get down and dirty) Rock & Roll in it's raw form!

HELL YEAH!

First I heard of NRBQ was in 1968 when I was 12, my mother worked with Terry and Donn Adams mother in the office of a small local compamy. She gave my mother a copy of their first album that came out in 1969. Being young and more into the British invasion it didn't get much playing time, my mother never cared for it so it was passed on to us kids. It didn't survive in that environment but I wish I still had it. I have listened to them since and enjoy some of their stuff. When I get my streaming going I will check them out again been a while.
