I'm understand just how good English rock bands are historically. For such a tiny island to put out so many incredible acts, bless them.
Slipknot

In terms of music, velvet underground
In terms of cultural impact, nirvana
I actually can't argue with the second one. How come America doesn't have many rock acts with the massive success of Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Who, etc. ? To be fair Kurt died so if Nirvana continued they would have surely sold more records, especially as as record sales continued to climb all the way until the millenium where they peaked and then dropped off hard. I think Nirvana would have ended up with a cozy 100 million records sold
Edit: OOps, I just checked and Wiki says Nirvana is at 75 mil. Yeah so they would have ended up with 150 easy if they kept on

CCR
R.E.M.
John Cale was the avant garde part. when he left it was mostly just rock 'n' roll but with "dark" lyrics
Metallica, objectively. Other notable candidates include: Alice in Chains, Nirvana, The Doors, The Allman Brothers, Soundgarden, The Stooges, ZZ Top, Van Halen, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age and Megadeth.
The Motor City 5

I admit I forgot CCR

not good taste
The greatest American rock band is REM
Yeah this is true. It's incredible that a classically trained welsh guy ended up with lou reed and their combined desire for something new resulted in one of the most influential bands of all time.
Also, if you listen to John Cale's solo stuff it's clear that dark lyrics also come pretty naturally to him. He had a pretty troubled upbringing and is from Wales, which is the most miserable place I've ever been to at least, so I reckon that probably influenced him being so avant garde

Neil Young technically isn't a band but I felt he deserved a mention.
Obviously
>Neil Young
>American
Weezer
canucks technically
thats a rap groop
Smashing Pumpkins. It saddens me but doesn't surprise me that they have yet to be mentioned in this topic. Sup Forums probably thinks they're "buttrock."
But R.E.M. are a very good shout, and Automatic For The People is in one of the top five American albums ever.
Also honourable mentions to Pixies, Nirvana and Black Flag.
this and hendrix, albert king
and michael jackson
and cows
This is unacceptable
using Sup Forums X is unacceptable
>not using Sup Forums X in 2018, the current year
nah senpai it makes me go all psychotic for some reason.. its too much power.
I am questioning your mental health now.
It's like having your mind opened. Sup Forums thinks they're the red pill but honestly Sup Forums X is. Once you take it there's no going back.
once you take it, you're reddit.
It's like, 'what if we made Sup Forums reddit'
how about 'no thanks '

Canada is basically America. I'm saying this as a Canadian
