I'd not realized how hard this was to do taking out the solo artists and the Brits.

 

Eagles

Aerosmith

Journey

Boston

Chicago

 

 

Metallica and Van Halen are likely more popular but I've mellowed since I was 21.

I forgot, is that the one with David Caruso or the other one with Mariska Hargitay?

So HT messaged me asking for someone to say the Romones?

 

Weird.

He messaged me to say Menudo.

 

(Just kidding. He didn't message me at all.)

And Neil young is Canadian. But they were formed in California.

 

I knew both of those things. Alcohol is a :wall:

 

OK, I need a 70s band. Guess I'll go with the Eagles, we could use a little southern flair in any amerkun list. :cheers:

You named 2 soloists.

 

Plus the Dead is not a fav of mine, but their influence on music can't be ignored.

I think CSNY qualifies as American. They met and formed in Laurel Canyon, and were a huge part of that California scene. They also wrote one of the great protest songs of the 60's (Ohio.) I'm fairly sure all of their albums were recorded in America.
