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

NRBQ? I’d never heard of them, saw that many folks here consider them The Best American band ever, so just googled them. WHAT???? Are you f’ing joking??? No wonder this country is in the mess it's in :)
Lordy. Lordy, Lordy me!!! LMFAO :)

George   Thorogood & The Destroyers
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Jefferson Airplane
Mountain
(live) Stevie Wonder
and every band that gets your motor runnin'

Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin at the helm. Their one album at the Fillmore West was bold, brash and outstanding in every way, and in my opinion outshines all other American groups of much longer duration.

Beach Boys were great too for a fairly long period. I liked Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies as well as Mike Bloomfield’s not as well known The Electric Flag, who were self-titled "An American Band". No complaints about CCR or the Allman Bros’ either. Billy Joel, whom I don’t really care for, should get an honorable mention for having played our high school with the Hassles, a local Long Island group from Hicksville, one town over.

No need for any more replies, as this is obviously the definitive take on America’s greatest R&R band. Accept no substitutes. Love,

Mike

Canned Heat is not chopped liver

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.
