If we're talking about "whose absence changes rock the most" it's Buddy Holly. -- nm - Reagen Nov 24, 18:29 2
- This is when the Nirvana suggestion makes more sense -- nm - con_carne Nov 24, 18:47 1
  - Rock was almost dead before Buddy Holly came along. He kept it alive and blew open the doors - Reagen Nov 24, 18:54
Neil Young (i know canadian) and crazy horse, no one has influenced more music in various styles, I mean he's the godfather of grunge (hey hey my my) - Zirak Galeistur Nov 24, 18:01
But you are right, when you think Top 5 or even top 10 rock bands, most are British -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 17:20 16
- although Jimi Hendrix was from Seattle, I still think of him as a brittish import cause he had to go there to get famous -- nm - Zirak Galeistur Nov 24, 17:53
- floyd, zep, beatles, stones, who else, really? (what about the dead for american bands? too culty?) -- nm - amanda Nov 24, 17:22 14
  - Yardbirds -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 17:28 2
    - way too small, I think. -- nm - amanda Nov 24, 17:37 1
      - Not top 10 but probably top 20. They were very inventive and spawned three guitar Gods - amoxy Nov 24, 19:03
  - only the Pigpen era :)))))) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 17:26
  - Queen, Who, Kinks, Cream -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 17:24
  - The Who -- nm - prayformojo Nov 24, 17:24 1
    - mmhmm. okay, sorry. you all win. I am brain dead. -- nm - amanda Nov 24, 17:25
  - Nirvana. -- nm - Tim Nov 24, 17:23 3
    - At the very least say Soundgarden. -- nm - David Nov 24, 17:29
    - 3yrs in total? I'd give more a nod to Foo than Nirvana. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 24, 17:25
    - I'm debating this in my head. I think they might be too new. they might be too *influenced* to be important. -- nm - amanda Nov 24, 17:24
  - oh I forgot the monkees. and radiohead. -- nm - amanda Nov 24, 17:22
  - U2 has to be in the mix imo --- Metallica might be in the mix for American. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 24, 17:22 1
    - totally to both. nice. -- nm - amanda Nov 24, 17:23
The only thing that slightly elevates Aerosmith is "Jamie's got a Gun" - amoxy Nov 24, 17:18 1
- Talk about things and nobody cares Wearing other things that nobody wears (Sweet Emotion) -- nm - Zirak Galeistur Nov 24, 17:51
and Heather's answer was KISS, which was a good suggestion -- nm - prayformojo Nov 24, 17:16 1
- That is a really good one. -- nm - David Nov 24, 17:17
Does it have to be a band? The most important American Rock n Roll act is obviously Elvis. - spamlet Nov 24, 17:08 7
- Yeah, I -- nm - con_carne Nov 24, 18:14 1
  - SFEK 'm thinking about it and it's hard to get around this answer -- nm - con_carne Nov 24, 18:15
- you really fucked up spelling CHUCK BERRY :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 17:11 3
  - I live in the STL, I know all about Chuck Berry. But he's not Elvis. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Nov 24, 17:23
  - Not many oh these youngun's know who was the best, do they? -- nm - BAD Nov 24, 17:18 1
    - or know who Scotty Moore is -- nm - peglegpete Nov 24, 17:23
- for the purposes of this, yeah.....a band - prayformojo Nov 24, 17:09
The Doors is a good answer, too -- nm - JaxSean Nov 24, 17:07
There are probably more popular/credentialed bands but E Street is the most decidedly American. - David Nov 24, 17:02 1
- Yeah, I think this is the right answer -- nm - prayformojo Nov 24, 17:05
