In Reply to: Best U.S. rock band of all time? posted by Redwing on December 9, 2006 at 08:09:53:
I like the nomination of The Beach Boys very much as well ...and CCR too. Is there room on the list for The Doors?The Grateful Dead, surely in the running ...but I can't listen to them. Maybe I should have tried drugs.
My favorite US rock band ...The Doobie Brothers (sans Michael McDonald). The best? Nah. But my favorite.
