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!

The "most American" band would have to be "Indigenous", three siblings and a cousin from the Nakota Nation, So. Dakota.  Listen to "Things We Do", their first album, 1998.  Blues guitar phenom in the style of SRV.     
Definitely Eagles w/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers number two--Unless you've stood with an American Woman on a corner in Winslow, Az you've not lived.
to n80--actually the Eagles have outsold Michael Jackson and Elvis is number three all-time with Garth Brooks no. 2 and guess who, not the band, bit The Beatles numero uno, all-time. If you don't believe me--google it up.
