From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Re: Best U.S. rock band of all time?

Greatest and best are very subjective. Here are a few that had a long history that I am including because of how often they get played around here.

The Band

Airplane/SomeStarship/Hot Tuna

Kooper/Bloomfield et al(Buffalo Springfield, Blues Project, American Flag, BloodSweat&Tears)spin offs like Sea Train from Blues Project

Santana - getting urban neighborhoods together in the 60s and 70s and getting the urban village together today. At one time I lived in part of the city where three cultures came together. Hard core Hispanic to the north, Black to the east, multinational to the south and ravine to the west. You could get hurt being the wrong guy in the wrong neighborhood, unless you were getting together to play Santana

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - still doing great shows

Chicago - always a good show and still touring regularly

Tubes - Stanford intelligensia with great stage presence. High end sex and drugs and R&R party band.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - still doing great shows

Hendrix

Prince - his royal purpleness keeps getting better. Last tour I saw his bandleader was Maceo Parker!

Hall and Oates - fits between hip hop and europop, generally well recorded- basic backup are GE Smith, Charlie DeChant and Tbone Wolk from the Saturday night live band and lots of session players.
