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!

I now remember. My apologies.

Isn’t the lp "At The Canteen"? The cover shows a messy table after a big meal?

I think Dave Mason was involved then?

For some reason I cannot find my copies.

"Medicated Goo"...……….I'm going to go crazy until I find them......
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers also Aerosmith quickly come to mind. CCr has to be right up there.
To me, the definition to America Greatest Rock and Roll Band means bands that made great up tempo music with heavy guitar riffs and amazing vocals. There are 3 bands that come to my mind that will actually fit that title and made music that I can never get tired of listening to. First, would have to be Grand Funk Railroad who was know as America version of Led Zeppelin and was also know to have some of the largest concerts gathering at the time. Check out their live concert. Second, would have to be Jefferson Airplane/Starship. Many have heard Airplane music, but Starship really rock through the 70s and 80's and my last pick did not start as a band, but ended having the most popular debut Rock album of all times - Boston.
@stereo_gen.,

Thanks for contributing. I never heard of or even thought of Grand Funk being the America's version of LZ. I love Grand Funk!

When Heart was formed, their sole purpose was to be the female version of Led Zeppelin. This is really easy to hear once you think about it.
