    I think ZZ Top should get a shoutout as a great American band as well as Chicago

    Genres are weird when it comes to music. Rock and roll in its purest form would be Chuck Berry, FatsDomino Little Richard, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis Followed by the Ramones or Beach Boys or Stray Cats

    excellent choice...I read not long ago Boz lost his home and all his guitars and stuff in a forest fire..he's still touring..I own his box set and have been a fan since Loan me a Dime came out
    ..saw him many times live with his band and with Steve Miller's band.

    I happen to think the Eagles were as good as you could get live....can't say that for the Dead and I've seen the Dead many, many times. The Eagles are not my favorite band but they were an amazing band in my opinion and like Steely Dan, just didn't do bad work ever. That's how they got that big. The Moby Grape were a much better band than the Dead ever were in my view and RIP to Jerry Miller, their guitarist who passeed last week or so...way ahead of his time.

    Smashing Pumpkins are better than RHCP.

    The sound of a pumpkin being smashed is better than Smashing Pumpkins.

    Hall and Oates.

    Not rock related, but, this thread gave me flashbacks to nights at Earthquake Ethel's.
