I am not insane, they have been a band for 25 years, write songs, are great players and funky and they have had plenty of hits. They also tour their asses off. Just because they weren't around in 1967, dosen't mean they are not a great rock group. Each to their own.

And yes Fleetwood Mac was 3/5 British but the two Americans dominated its sound in the 1975 -1987 period.

Overall, the British groups way outstrip the Yanks. Rolling Stones, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix Experience 2/3 British and Jimi wasn't going to get over in US before it Cream, Led Zeppelin, Oasis, the Cure to name a few

My favorite is Blondie. I don't know who's the best. Maybe Parliament/Funkadelic or Talking Heads?

If we're talking about American bands then my choices are:

The Beach Boys - for sure
Eagles
Isley Bros
EW&F

Kins Of Leon
Metallica
Parliament
Guns 'n' Roses
Black Sabbath
R.E.M.
Pearl Jam
Nirvana

GUNS

No, it's probably Floyd, but I've never understood them. But of course since we are at Prince.org I'd have to say Parliament / Funkadelic. The only problem is that even if I've listened to George Clinton's music for the last 15 years I don't really remember the lyrics to a single song. Oh yeah, except for "Quickie".

I'll say Death Squad! Can I say Chromeo? Are they even American? I am going to say Kraftwerk. That's my last word on this.

did anyone mention the ramones or sonic youth?

well if not, i just did.
