Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers need to be on the list. The record company wanted Petty solo but he wanted to be in a band and they functioned as a band. |

This list has more holes in it than swiss cheese. I would not classify CSN, Simon & Garfunkel, or Michael Jackson as "rock." Also, Graham Nash is British. I'm not a bigfan, but Aerosmith probably deserves to be on there I can understand not putting all of them on there, but at least one of the big three from Seattle- Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden- are in the top ten no question I won't quibble about Jimi himself, but the other two in the Experience- Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding- were British. |

Elvis was a popstar to an extent as well, but definitely more Rock than Michael Jackson was. |

At least Rube is consistent. He has terrible thoughts on everything. |

GNR definitely would make the top 10. Aerosmith and one of the Seattle bands has to be on there. |

Objectively yes. If the thread was titled "My favorite American acts," different story. But its not, so Rube sucks. |

It's not easy to improvise around a melody for an hour. I frigging love the dead. Their studio stuff to me is meh but the live recordings are remarkable. |
