If you aren't joking then you clearly don't know very much about American music. Maybe the best British bands were better or more popular but: Beastie Boys? Red Hot Chili Peppers? Jackson 5? WTF?

How about:
The Grateful Dead
The Eagles
Bruce Springsteen (E Street Band)
The Doors
CCR
Van Halen
Nirvana
The Band
Sly and the Family Stone
Jefferson Airplane

There are probably more examples I cant think of.

Hijack: I have a really weird reaction to the Doors. They're so familiar to me that I forget how good they are. I always stop listening to the Doors for months, listen to a bunch of other stuff, then put the Doors back on and think "Holy crap, these guys are good."
