For the purpose of this, please omit solo artists (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Prince, Jimmy Buffett).

Who are your top 5 best American bands?

The Eagles
Grateful Dead

1. Allman Brothers
2. Talking Heads
3. Pearl Jam
4. Grateful Dead



Not sure on #5. I guess The Band doesn't count since they were mostly Canadian. I guess it'd be The Eagles, even though Hotel California is the only good album they ever made.

Am I supposed to list my five favorite American bands (solely the ones I think are the best) or a list that tries to measure cultural impact, popularity, critical reception and influence?

Steely Dan
Alice in Chains
Grateful dead

Don't really know after that. Too close and could throw out about a dozen names for 4 and 5, but if I only had these 3 bands music to listen to I would be happy.
