The Greatest American Rock Band (Poll)

[DubCoffman62]

Speaking of local talent, I believe Dave Grohl is from Warren originally. He's a great musical talent IMO.

Well he left when he was 3 so that's kind of a stretch.

I'll take Richie Furay over any of 'em.

I really liked Poco's early stuff.

Decent article on the subject but I admit, I'm only posting because they came to the same conclusion I did.

From that list of bands I chose The Doors and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

That is one sorry list of bands. LOL

No kidding.

How did Britain produce all the good ones?

The Eagles. And it's not even close.

I love the Eagles, but don't think that sales should be a sole determining factor.

If it were, we'd have to bow before Bieber. Ewwwww.

 

[Bucky32]

CCR, The Doors, The Byrds, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, in that order.

Also, it's funny how in many ways the Beach Boys are more appreciated in the UK than they are here.

Beach Boys... hey, I'm 70, whadaya expect?

Who in the fuck put "The Ohio Players" as an option? I love them (Fire, Love Rollercoaster), but they are a soul/funk band...just because the Red Hot Chili Peppers covered them does not make them a rock band.

Another fantastic band with Ohio roots:

(The National)

'Bout time someone mentioned the National. Greenies. The National's "Bloodbuzz, Ohio" t-shirt is my official Buckeye watching shirt these days:

Satch once said the only difference between the two was the skin color of the dudes in the bands.

But what the fuck would he know.

To late to scratch in Rage Against the Machine and Incubus? Although the latter I'm not sure would fully qualify as "rock n roll"....
