The Oregonian's music blog is looking for input, asking "Question for the masses: Who's THE American band? Who would we put up against England's best?"

Pearl Jam hasn't been mentioned yet.

    Nor should they.

    Like his music or not (or be indifferent, as I am to much of it), Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band are it.

    Don't think PJ ranks with the Beatles, Stones, and Zep. I'd say our best bets were pretty well covered... Dylan, CCR, Hendrix.

    Jimi Hendrix Experience takes the cake IMO.

    And if we're talking about solo artists, it's Elvis Presley.
