TheMalcolmConnection 07-11-2005, 05:45 PM Pearl Jam wouldn't make it on mine either. Neither would Green Day. All of their albums, save their newest one all sound the same. wolfeskins 07-11-2005, 05:50 PM green day arent even american......are they ?

Riggo44 07-11-2005, 10:13 PM The best American band of all time is the New Kids on the Block!! :headbange Duhh!!! No but really it depends on the mood I'm in. If I am just kicking it relaxing with a brew. Then you really can't go wrong with the Egales.

No, there drummer is german I think, but the founding 2 are from CA...

I think that Green Day is very good I like all of there CD's... yea, their music is alright but not good enough to be in the top twenty. CrazyCanuck 07-13-2005, 03:00 PM You know I love Americans, but I was really surprised how weak your overall list looks. The Canadian rock band list is almost more impressive! IMO the only possible choices for #1 would have to be Aerosmith or Springsteen (if he counts). I don't think anyone else really comes close. Notables: Eagles - maybe not a "rock" band but still very solid and at their peak they were the biggest band in the world... GNR - pretty good hard rock band but let's not get crazy here... Pearl Jam - I'm a big fan, loved their concert, but cant bring myself to call them #1 US rock band of all-time... Van Halen - they're ok I like some songs but they never really did much for me - overhyped... Journey - yes I'd agree they might be more of a pop band but let's give credit where it's due, these guys have tons of hits... Grateful Dead - was never a huge fan but gotta respect their cult following. I saw a Dead show shortly before Jerry died and I have to say it was one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen... Doors - #1 potential but I just don't think they were around long enough... REM - have always been a big fan, but their concert was the WORST show I ever saw in my life. It's the ONLY concert I ever left early... Petty - He'd be in my top 3 if allowed. I love Petty and think he's VERY underrated...
