RE: RE: The Greatest American Band In History?

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band should not qualify, Springsteen is a solo American act, period, and the E Street Band is his backup, they would hardly be known today without him. I'm not saying the aren't good, but people pay to go see Springsteen only live, not his band.

Since a few noted Bob Seger and Tom Petty, same deal with them, they are really solo, well Bob flat out is, you can't include his backup band, and he had more than one. And the Heartbreakers without Tom are also nothing but a good band that nobody would wish to see without Tom there. Now I guess John Fogerty would say - well has said, the same thing about Creedence Clearwater Revival, that they were only his backup band. But I disagree with John, they were also a great American Band and back in the day nobody called them "John Fogerty and CCR", hell, it was his brother Tom who started the band in the first place, and yes, John was the heart of the band, but it was still a solid unit that worked together and all of the band members wrote their own songs, even if John's songs were the best of the bunch. But back in the '60s you would not say 'I got tickets to see John Fogerty!', you said, 'I got tickets to see CCR!', just like today, you say 'I got tickets to see Springsteen!', you don't say, I got tickets to see the E St Band!'.
