@bdp24,
I’m not trying to suck up. I do want to thank you for your response and the way you responded. The reason I mentioned the movie Cadillac Records was that several topics in that film are ones you've been talking about recently.

@bdp24 ,
Thanks for that history lesson my friend. Have you ever watched Cadillac Records? It seems to have some truth running though it. I highly enjoy it every time I watch it.
BTW, America is on my top bands list of all time, yet I would categorize them more as pop.

@bdp24,
I’m glad I could help out. While we’re being honest here, I don’t consider Aerosmith to be a true R&R band. In my mind they are a ROCK band.
NRBQ has been mentioned a few times lately in various threads. I heard a song by them recently on the radio. I do need to check them out!

@bigjoe ,
I like your style!
|
Several have mentioned The Doors. I love The Doors, I just don't consider them to be a true R&R band. |
BS had a very limited run. IMO, that eliminates them from consideration on this post’s perameters. |
I think "Hallowed Ground" was mentioned. |
@geoffkait ,
So did @davea33 .

Hi @davea33 ,
For me, it takes more than a band that had just 3 influential lps. (BTW, I don't even consider Nirvana to be Rock & Roll. So it really doesn't meet the definition I laid out in my original post as (Rock & Roll).

"though I'm not sure I'd call either Rock & Roll. Maybe the Grape, Springfield definately not".

@6t5-gto,
The Aretha/ MFSL 45rpm is F ing' OUTSTANDING!
|
@stereo_gen.,
Thanks for contributing. I never heard of or even thought of Grand Funk being the America's version of LZ. I love Grand Funk!
When Heart was formed, their sole purpose was to be the female version of Led Zeppelin. This is really easy to hear once you think about it.
|
I now remember. My apologies.
Isn’t the lp "At The Canteen"? The cover shows a messy table after a big meal?
I think Dave Mason was involved then?
For some reason I cannot find my copies.
"Medicated Goo"...……….I'm going to go crazy until I find them......

@tostadosunidos ,
I agree with you.
|
From my memory Traffic, Rush, U2, Fleetwood Mac (roots), Jethro Tull, Bachman Turner aren't American bands. |
