    I thought about this for a bit...

    The greatest American band, the one that influenced and inspired the most musicians in the greatest total of subsections of rock music would have to be...

    Parliament/Parliament Funkadelic

    They rocked the world from 1955 till 2018.

    Just a partial list of artists they inspired:

    Hendrix
    Prince
    Talking Heads
    Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Rage Against the Machine
    Beastie Boys
    Bad Brains
    Cee-Lo
    Dr Dre
    Snoop
    Public Enemy
    Fishbone
    Kenrick Lamar
    Outkast

    Agreed. But just because I'm petty, doesn't mean you cant answer!

    Just read today that the top Spotify download and listen band is CCR. They have 4 of the top songs with the number one having something like 1.7 billion downloads and their second having 1.6 billion. pretty incredible that Fogerty wrote 5 records with that many hits over 4 years. something like 11 if his hits have never stopped getting airplay since they came out

    I’m surprised nobody mentioned Boston unless I missed it?

    Thought about it. Huge boston fan. BUt they really just have one album( thier first) and the song “more than a feeling.”

    that first album though? Epic best selling debut album of all time until Hootie came along.
