We all know rock'n'roll has its roots in the US. However, when I look at the list of great *enduring* rock bands, so few, if any, of them are American. What I mean is, America has never produced a band equal to The Who, or Led Zepellin, or The Stones, or (not that I am a fan) Pink Floyd.
Yes, I know there is Aerosmith, but, their history, in truth, has always been one of come and go. Great for a year, 2 rocking songs, but then they disappear for another 6 until a soundtrack song is required.
Anyhow, my question is, why do you think this is? Is it because (and I am asking here, not 'declaring') British bands are better? Or is it that American bands have searched for something else?
PS Let's please keep the answers to BANDS. I know the British never had an Elvis or Janis Joplin, but my question is about bands.
Thanks, and remember to be polite.
