eagles and ccr here.

Although the top 3 bands of alltime are non American.

 

[michael777]

Megadeth

Slayer

i have never heard of either one!

 

[WorldNumberOne]

Eagles got several votes..

CCR was mentioned. Aerosmith , TP and the Heartbreakers and Bob Seger and the silver bullet band got votes.. Not sure the last 2 should count though.

 

[loomis41973]

Pearl Jam..best band in any field
AC/DC
Led Zepplin

 

[WorldNumberOne]

Led Zepplin

I actually said Pearl Jam...

 

[HarryCaray]

Personally partial to the Dead if they count as rock.

If not, I guess Aerosmith gets my vote.

It's like picking who is the hottest girl at fat camp or something.

 

[HarryCaray]

Pearl Jam..best band in any field
AC/DC
Led Zepplin

American, Australian, British in that order sir

[CHOPTALK]

Van Halen should get some consideration

 

[donkeybucks]

Van Halen should get some consideration

Thank You.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Thank You.

Does this mess up the matrix since we both agree?

 

[WorldNumberOne]

Would Journey be top 5 ?

 

[CHOPTALK]

Van Halen should get some consideration

Thank You.

[HarryCaray]

Van Halen should get some consideration

Agreed for sure

 

[slapshot]

#@$* no

 

[scottcarter]

[CHOPTALK]

Bon Jovi? Top 7 or 8?

KISS?

 

[WorldNumberOne]

if skynard hadn't lost 1/2 the band, they probably would have gone down as a top 2 or 3. maybe 1...
