So I have to decide whether I choose my favorite three American bands, or the three American bands I believe are more important to what followed.

 

Possibly very different.

 

The three I like best:

 

Bad Religion will certainly be there.

 

Then, any of these might make the cut. Probably others too.

Living Colour

Drive By Truckers

REM

Soundgarden

Talking Heads

Dead Kennedys

They Might Be Giants

 

The three that are most important?

 

With the caveat that it's hard to judge overall influence, here's a few:

 

Beach Boys

Crickets

Ramones

Velvets

Dolls

MC5

Name those bands.

 

My list: 1.The Doors

2.Guns N' Roses

3.Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

I like a lot of them, but these three are top for me.

 

Well it would have been easier if you asked for a poll of the greatest American rock singer ever?

 

Chris Cornell hands down - no contest.

 

He is also the coolest man on the planet, wish I looked like that, ha ha

Black Crowes

Allman Brothers Band

Grateful Dead

 

Same for me, but will have to throw Gov't Mule in there too. If I could only chose 3, it would be Dead, Allmans, and Mule.
