The 25 greatest American rock bands of all time

The US has a rich and varied history when it comes to rock & roll.

From the earliest days of the blues, right up to the glam metal excesses of the 80s and the grunge movement of the 90s, US bands have inspired millions of music fans all over the world through the generations.

While the likes of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and the Jimi Hendrix Experience would be more than deserving of recognition when considering the greatest US rock acts, only collective bands without named solo artists feature in the list below.

So, from folk rock icons to punk pioneers and indie favourites, these are the 25 greatest US rock bands of all time.

21. Van Halen
There’s a famous scene in Back to the Future where Marty McFly plays his father — then a teenager in 50s America — a Van Halen track to try and convince him he’s an alien. It’s a great moment, which reflects the impact Van Halen had upon pop culture at large. Eddie Van Halen’s guitar playing was so incredibly ahead of its time that for many, he was the second coming of Hendrix. It wasn’t all fretboard pyrotechnics, though: the success of tracks like Jump proved that the group could write huge tunes, too.

Lots of curious choices, but for me the biggest head-scratcher is the Strokes.

Really? The Strokes?!
