  • Some of the greatest bands in rock history are from the United States. While the merits of their musical prowess can be fairly disputed between fans, these famous rock bands bring a certain American flair and bravado that other bands from different countries don't have. Almost all of the American bands on this list should be household names among rock fans and there should be few, if any surprises on this list.
    A range of American cities are represented here. Bands from Los Angeles are the most populous here with classic rock bands like The Doors and Van Halen, as well as Guns N' Roses, The Beach Boys, Rage Against the Machine, and The Eagles. Due to the popularity of grunge in the early '90s, Seattle is well represented. Famous bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are included on this list. There are metal bands (Metallica), hard rockers (Aerosmith, Alice Cooper), psych bands (Grateful Dead, Phish), punk outfits (The Ramones, Green Day) and even funk bands (Sly and the Family Stone, Prince) that are on this list. If a band is from America and awesome, it should be here.

Michael Jackson died in 2010 but his music still sells. Actually I'm surprised you didn't know about the Graceland Trust. Shaquille O'Neal owns controlling stock in Elvis Enterprise's now

      They were on another one that I just watched a second ago and the Beatles were worth 2.3 billion. However, individually, John was worth 700 million. Ringo was worth 300 million, George was worth 400 million, and Paul was worth 1.3 billion. The Rolling Stones are worth 950 million. I think is what I remember seeing.

    Elvis Presley at only $20 million!! These were “not included”:: Neil Diamond, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie & the Commodores, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Bread, Lovin’ Spoonful, Poco, Mac Davis, Glen Campbell, Orleans, Firefall, Ambrosia, Osmonds, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Four Tops, The Temptations, Tony Orlando & Dawn, and Sonny & Cher??
    ~The very worst band that I saw on the list was “Nine Inch Nails” as they have dreadfully horrible garbage music.
    ~It is supposed to be for American bands but 4 of the bands had 1 Canadian member in them:: Three Dog Night (drummer, Floyd Sneed), CSN & Neil Young, The Mamas & Papas (Denny Doherty), and BS & T (lead singer David Clayton Thomas).
    ~Fleetwood Mac was not included I guess because they have 3 British band members and 2 American band members.
