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!

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"

@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.
