Pearl Jam is the best American Band ever.

Eddie,

I didn't throw Pearl Jam in with the indie thing.

Stoop,

Last time I checked, U2 was from somewhere in the UK (Ireland, Scotland, Shittybandland?).

Howzit,

How could I forget about the Allman Bros? Geez Louise.

 

Aerosmith still puts on a great show and they're almost 60.

 

Reading comprehension is hard.

 

I recall seeing Vedder in Rolling Stoned last year sporting a mowhawk. He was quoted as saying he would wear said hairdo until there was peace on earth.
I wrote the ragazine and told them he'd better get used to the style.

Idoit.

 

Rolling Stones; better show than Aerosmith? Or no.

 

Herr,

Lawrence Welk still puts on a great show too. And he's dead.

 

They ARE 60, which means they should have stopped 30 years ago.

 

Van Halen
Eagles
Metallica
Marshall Tucker Band
Honeymoon Suite

 

Honeymoon Suite ...heh

I like em though.

 

[Elvis] Eddie Vedder, heh [/Elvis]

 

The Pixies were damn good, but they weren't the greatest American band.

The Lone Rangers had a pool cleaner on drums. They were the best American band.

 

Bloodhound Gang

 

Oh, so now you've gotta have a manual laborer on the skins to be the best American band? Who knew?

In that case, I wanna nominate the Lexington Cons (prison band). The drummer used to do cement work before he got popped for selling meth. They rawk.

 

other possibilities:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Flaming Lips
The Stooges
MC5
Doobie Brothers
Nirvana
Boston

 

STP
Foo Fighters

i like em both...ALOT

 

Alice in Chains was the best band to come out of the Seattle movement...and it's not even close.

 

It was The Jimi Hendrix Experience. End of argument, even though he had two Brits as backup.

 

STP is way above Pearl Jam...
