Best American Rock Band

[JoeChalupa]

i'll put neil young way above springsteen too.

Not even. But again, that is just me. I love Neil Young but I wouldn't go that far. I've jammed to both many, many times. Two great musician/song writers. I love 'em both.

[JoeChalupa]

Aerosmith Rocks!! Granted, not like they did back in the day. But they are still going!!

[David Bowie]

Boston is another good one

More then a Feeling was in my alarm clock for over four years . It was a great song to wake up to every day.


RIP Brad Delp
His death socked me

Hard to pick just one, but ...

Beach Boys
Eagles
Doors
CCR
REM -- nobody mentioned them but I absolutely love them. Two of my favorite songs of all time are "Radio Free Europe" and "Fall on Me"

[Kermit]

I've got to go with Petty. Catalogue that's second to none, band that is as tight as any other, and he's still writing great stuff.

well, the only thing springsteen has on young is that young is canadian and doesn't count in this thread. or maybe you're just from new jersey.

red hot chili peppers- anthony keides or whatever his name is is the worst front man in the history of rock and roll

pearl jam- sucks out loud

Like I said, it is a matter of opinion. I like 'em both and I'm not from Jersey.

I like Pearl Jam too but no way they are in my top 10 list.

saw this and thought it might be interesting to ask.

that dude has no taste

[Thunder Dan]

For me, no such band exists 'cause there are too many that really stand out for me. It just depends on your taste.
I like both Neil Young and The Boss but I wouldn't necessarily put one above the other because I like them both.
And besides, for me, none of the newer bands can hold a candle to the classic rock bands of my time.

Neil Young is Canadian; he shouldn't even be discussed in this, otherwise we can just compare all of these bands above to the Stones and Beatles in which they would be better than every one of them.

lol Springsteen a good songwriter

the last part was a joke in reference to td's earlier posts

Aerosmith are a band who need to start taking drugs again.
Since they've sobered up, their musical output is absolute .

I would say the same about Metallica.

[midgetonadonkey]

Dude, The Boss has been at it muuuuuuuuuuch longer than Pearl Jam.

And, he and his band are touring as we speak.

The Boss >>>>>>>>>>>> Pearl Jam

The reason "The Boss" has been at it much longer is because he is like 15 years older than anyon in Pearl Jam. Just because he has been around longer doesn't make him better. Pearl Jam will have more records sold and more concert tickets sold than "The Boss" after he is dead in like 3 years.

As far greatness of song lyrics and musical content, I say Pearl Jam will forever be a greater musical band than Bruce Springsteen and the dude from the Conan O'Brien show. In the long run, they will pale in comparison.
