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!

Ooops, forgot ZZ Top, seems the band should be rooted in the blues...

This really made me think. Been to 15 concerts since Jan 1 this year, been going to shows, buying music, since I was 15 (now 63) and also doing the audio thing. So as many of us are, I am truly immersed in this hobby/lifestyle. Impossible for me to pick - and I know I am forgetting a great American rock and roll band (r&r too general a term to me) - but Los Lobos, CCR, Allman Brothers, QOTSA, MC5, Doobies, Heartbreakers, Silver Bullet Band....- heck, they are all great, as is all kinds of music! Kick out the Jams.....(you know the rest!) - lol
