So today I was thinking about all the greatest rock 'n roll artists of all time, and from where they hail... and it occurred to me that the vast majority off all my very favorite bands are Brits! So I decided to make a list of the 20 greatest/most influential rock acts (in my opinion) from both the U.S. and England to decide once and for all which nation rocks harder... The Best of the U.S.

• Elvis Presley
• Bob Dylan
• The Jimi Hendrix Experience
• The Doors
• Creedence Clearwater Revival
• Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
• Simon & Garfunkel
• Nirvana

• Beach Boys
• Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
• The Eagles
• Guns 'N Roses
• Van Halen
• Grateful Dead
• Iggy Pop & The Stooges
• Johnny Cash

The Best of England
