In no particular order.
Pixies
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Ramones
Buddy Holly
The Beach Boys
Bob Dylan
Lead Belly
The Temptations
B.B. King
The Doors
John Lee Hooker
Neil Young
Frank Zappa
The Velvet Underground
Funkadelic (Not so much Parliament-Funkadelic, in my opinion..)
Talking Heads
Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Nirvana (Though arguable...)
Dead Kennedys
Please, feel free to add to the list as I know I've left out MANY. Also, feel free to correct me if the bands aren't from America...I'm pretty sure they all are, though, hahaha...The only bands I'm not sure of are The Doors and the Talking Heads..

How could I have forgotten the Dead? Crazy me!
Is Blue Oyster Cult American?
Alright, well I looked it up and the BOC is indeed American. Woo. I know there are some other fans here.

The Gunn IS American! How could we forget the MASTER of all that is rock?!!
HPM, yeah, I thought so too. But I wasn't sure. I think they formed here in America, though. Not sure, though.

No, he was born in Scotland, but I would think the The Talking Heads are still an American band. They formed in NYC. I have no idea when he moved to the US.
REM
The Replacements
Husker Du
Minutemen
X
Prince
James Brown
Otis Redding
Marvin Gaye
Outside of the topic, but Blues & Jazz are big US inventions (w/ roots outside of the US). |

Thinking Fellers Union Local #282
When they're on, they're on. Make some of the coolest fucked up music of all-time. I'd say they're better than Sonic Youth when TFUL282 are on top of their game. But unfortunately, so much of their material is just throwaway noise.
