Best American band?

Ok. The dreaded question: who is the best American band?

Most rock fans may most likely say the classics, such as Nirvana, Metallica, and the like. Many also say that Alice in Chains, or a more underground band such as The Melvins are the greatest. It all is a matter of taste. Here are MY favorite American bands:

Red Hot Chili Peppers- of COURSE I would review them! Personally, they are my favorite band and I listen to them almost every day and kinda worship them >.< Their music is very meaningful and helped me a lot through my life. Great band and I think they are legendary!

Nirvana- What else can I say? They are simply amazing and have great stage presence, after performances I have seen on Youtube and DVDs. Kurt Cobain was the GOD of grunge music and put it on the map. RIP Kurt!

The Jimi Hendrix Experience- a list isn't a list without Hendrix in it! Jimi made craaazy guitar licks without being able to even read music! I really love his music and find his music to be fresh and modern sounding with that little 60s kick in it.

Soundgarden- Chris Cornell's multi octave voice definitely helped me see another side to grunge, letting others see that you dont need growling and low voices to make a good grunge song. They have been through a lot, and are still strong despite the several Chris Cornell side projects and the 12 year hiatus! Making their appearance in the 2010 Lollapalooza festival, they hopefully will be back with a new album with new songs. Can't wait for new stuff!

Well, that was my take on my favorite American bands. hope you enjoyed!

Rock on,
