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

I've seen some very good answers that I won't repeat, however...

James Brown and either the Fabulous Flames or JB's were arguably the nastiest tightest band ever.

Bruce Springsteen and E St Band have the staying power...

Van Halen (not that Van-Hagar crap) have the front man, guitar virtuoso, solid rhythm section and the hits to back it all up...

Let us not forget Little Feat

The Doors. The Allman Brothers.  What a shame, considering the United States created Rock & Roll, there are more British Bands that most people think of as "The Best"

Muscle Shoals house band. Tight as tight can be!

@marko1262---Now yer takin'! The Swampers (their actual name) are my all-time favorite recording-only band (no road work), as good as it gets. Drummer Roger Hawkins is one of my three or so favorite drummers, who left the Muscle Shoal studio to work in Traffic, along side another legendary drummer, Jim Gordon (L.A. studios, Delaney & Bonnie, Derek & The Dominoes). The Swampers played on all the great Jerry Wexler-produced albums on Atlantic Records---Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, Dusty Springfield, etc.
