Best/Greatest American Rock Band

With the passing of Tom Petty, it begs the question where he and the Heartbreakers rank. I’ve always had them vying for the top spot. What are your top 5 American ‘rock’ bands? I’m using rock pretty loosely.
1 Beach Boys
2 Bruce Springsteen and the E street Band
3 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
4 The Doors
5 The Eagles.
I personally enjoy Tom Petty over the rest, but realize the weren’t as important or influential as some others.
What say the Music Board?

What’s the criteria here? Popularity, critical acclaim, influence, personal preference?

These "Best" "Greatest" threads are tough. It all comes down to what type of music you enjoy, how much real musical knowledge you posses (in other words a working knowledge of the difficulty of writing and performing said music) and what the listener has been tuned into.
Wouldn't even know where to start on answering this one. Too many great Amercican rock bands

no Fleetwood Mac? They need to be top 5 along with the Allman Bros.

The only measurable criteria is album sales; all else is opinion. The very definition of greatest is: of superior performance. In terms of album sales, The Eagles have sold more than any other American band.
