JustDan Posted February 23, 2019 I don't know about this. I did read in Rolling Stone where they opined that The Grateful Dead should hold the mantle of "America's greatest band". Based on their musical as well as cultural influence & basically inventing the "Jam Band" genre, I wouldn't have a problem with that assessment. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom-Joad Posted February 23, 2019 The Band. No doubt about it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tough to put The Band in there; even though they wrote extensively about the American condition, 4 of the 5 members were Canadian. Pretty good list, though; I would remove Metallica & G&R at this time (I don't feel they have the "tendrils" of the others), and take out the Dead (I'm prejudiced against random instrumental noodling). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it just might BE Creedence .... Out of the list here i'd say in no particular order The Dead, Creedence and REM.....Does Aerosmith belong on the long list ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beach Boys popped to mind, and see you already have them listed. Can't say I'm a huge fan, but for a while they rivaled the Beatles in popularity, and certainly had a huge influence on musical culture.

THUE Posted March 3, 2019 Credence is certainly on the list. Pearl Jam could be in the discussion. And yes without question REM is on the list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
