I'm a fan of these artists mind you, but i still think most might consider them solo artists? if we are going to include the likes of these folks then you have to put Elvis in the equation.
I think when we look for the Best American Band.... longevity has to be in the equation. If the band was only together for say 2-3 years i cant consider it one of the best of all time. but we know some of these guys die... so if the band broke up because of a death then would have to revert to how well the songs still stand today.
Bands like the Doors , A.I.C (although still together i think but new singer) are great bands but their time cut short.
