Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?

When I consider my priorities for this category, I cannot come up with any other than CCR.

Their output as a band was short compared to others, yes..

When I say America's greatest rock & roll band, this = the output or even the basis on which a band formed, had in their DNA, America's roots! It doesn't even matter that we now know CCR formed in California, their DNA as a band transformed their birthplace but it more importantly brought forth the (soul) of get down and dirty) Rock & Roll in it's raw form!

HELL YEAH!

When was Jim Gordon in Traffic?  I thought that was Jim Capaldi...

bdp24, thanks for that info on Traffic's lineup changes.  I need to pay more attention to the CD notes ( but the print is so tiny!).

All things considered, I think CCR for several reasons, including their diverse American influences and their crossover appeal.  I'm pretty sure a lot of country and soul/R&B fans gave them "thumbs up" and some even bought their records.

If longevity is a factor, then maybe the Eagles.  
I'm hardly biased on this as I was not a fan of either band in their heyday.  Sometimes the Eagles give me the willies.
