            American Rock...Qualitatively speaking Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry from the get go.
            Going onward through The Band, The Almond Bros.,Prince and JIMI HENDRIX.
            You can pull the plug after Hendrix.



            *Quanitatively- You could crown the Funk Bros. for outstanding productivity.
            But I don't consider pop rhythm and blues (Motown) rock and roll.
            Nor a schlocky ballad by an equally schlocky Joan Osborne...but to each their own.


            But it's AMERICAN Rock and Roll and we all have our musical favorites.
            ENJOY.

                If you can mention English Rock n' Roll... The Beatles, Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin
                are an absolute must.

                    The Allman Brothers Band

                    Duane Allman and Dickie Betts were guitar Gods.

                            Terry Kath was known as the "white Jimi"
                            The great Jimi once said after this performance that "Terry Kath is the only guitarist he'd pay money to listen too" pretty much saying Terry Kath is the best he ever heard.

                            Terry Kath was the face of that band, screw Peter Cetera, yeah Cetera has mad skills, but he'a whining weeny,

                            I was a horn player, I played trombone, I wanted to be the next James Pankow (Chicago) I wound up a computer geek, how's that happen?

                            The guitar sold from 3:00 on in this clip many call the greatest ever live.
                            Jimi loved it, and remember this is a live clip 47 years ago, raw, no edit, no bullshit.

                                                of course it is taste 19, but I answered the question using a fact. opinions, well you know what they say about opinions and a part of our anatomy. however, opinions are what drives conversations like this one and I get it.

How ever the bands that I have listened to a lot: Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Queen, Sly and the Family Stone, The Temptations. ......FYI - Anyone out there that likes R&B....Big Twist and The Mellow Fellows!!!!
