It's so hard to think of one, the British just dominate the top five to ten in my head every time.

Lynyrd Skynyrd? The Doors? The Ramones? The Eagles?
Nirvana? Pearl Jam?
While I agree that, overall, the UK has more in the way of history making bands, the same can be said of the U.S. and individual artists.
- Pearl Jam yes. I love The Doors but I don't think they were THAT goodHijoDMaite

Velvet Underground has always been one of those bands that I want to get in to but just haven't. Maybe because I grew up in the West coast instead of NY

I say band because I for example can comfortably say Led Zeppelin is the best of all time. Others can say The Beatles. But which American band can really stand out.
Agree though, American individual performers is where we dominate. I wonder why that is.
