bathory Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 but wait, is this about AMERICAN rock or rock that happens to be from america? I see DLR van halen as just about apple pie level when it comes to quintessentially AMERICAN rock n roll. it's hard to explain but maybe someone knows what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am amazed that anyone can answer this question definitively Maybe I can't; I just remembered maybe my favorite American band of all, The Gun Club. Fire of Love and Mother Juno are two of the greatest albums ever. Mother Juno was recorded in UK and produced by Robin Guthrie, admittedly. Still 'Merican though! So, I guess Nirvana slips; I'll keep Pixies and (early) Aerosmith with The Gun Club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Wow, that's quite a story! I was lucky enough to be in high school and college when bands like The Gun Club and Circle Jerks were blazing trails. Great time to be alive and into music. And I love Jeffrey Lee; always had a soft spot for him. One of those proverbial "people you'd like to meet in Heaven" for me.

tangy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Steely dan. Adventures in drug induced sonic perfection. Lynyrd skynyrd. Pre crash only. Amazing energy and to me heartfelt lyrics. Van halen. Americas led zeppelin. Grateful dead. Their legacy of live shows having been recorded is uatched for the era it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
