Crixtala and mmmbeans had some good answers. My Morning Jacket, White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, all top 10 as far as American bands go.

most of the names in this thread are just popular bands with no originality or musical value. you can't just use "best" as "most popular" unless you wanna say that Fox News is the best network. lol.

if you think RHCP are the best American band then you hate music.

in my opinion, you have to look at what a band added to music, not what they take from it. sure, Kings of Leon is popular. but do you think they are influencing anything? no, they're just a rock band. they're the sum of their own influences. in 20 years nobody will know who they are.

you'll be hard pressed to find a more original, influential, and long lasting American band than The Flaming Lips. they've been putting out records for 30 years and will be in the list of influences for every creative band of the past few decades.

Unfortunately for old KoL fans, Only By the Night ruined them as a band. 90% of that album is radio pop songs. Their old stuff, namely from Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak is really, really great music.

I still say

is one of the best songs of the past decade. And Bob Dylan agrees with me.

you just wanted to show off that you can type π.

/mine's an ugly π.

I'm showing off the fact that I know that the character map pi.GIF is ugly and that I care enough to host an image of a pretty one.

I think its pretty silly to use words like Best in association with any art forms. Best for who? Is it possible there is one band that is the best for the entire public?

Whats the best painting? Whats the best sculpture? Questions with no real answer.

This

Based on what? Ticket sales? Record sales? Awards won? Which genre?

A matter of opinion.

      Nailed it! Chiefs got #10 overall (and selected Mahomes) and sent the Bills #27, #91, and a 2018 first-rounder (ended up being #18) to pick the QB that has kept them out of the Super Bowl. 💀 Tbf to the Bills tho, they turned those picks into Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Tremaine Edmunds, and Siran Neal. Three out of four hits ain't bad at all, but that one for one for KC... ooh wee mayne.

      Yep. Happens to a lot of talented kids. I just think a lot of people don't understand that just because this kid is super talented doesn't mean he's going to make it to the pros. Most of them won't. Some will get injured. Some will run into trouble off the court/field. Some won't put in the work. The catering greatly increases the odds of the latter two. Then most will simply just not be good enough to make it to the pros. Either way, it all adds up to a long shot and the kids need to have solid plan Bs. A few years back my HS had the #1 RB recruit on the nation. He originally committed to UGA but flipped to Bama and was getting decent playing time as a true freshman before obliterating his ankle. He was never the same again after that. Never made it to the pros. Not sure what happened to him but evidently he wasn't the brightest bulb and was basically just getting passed through school to stay academically eligible. I don't think he was a bad kid, never really heard anything like that. He just wasn't all that bright and all the eggs were in the football basket.
