biggest US band?

mrAPE

At work we are having this discussion throughout history who is the biggest US band in the eyes of the entire world?. Try and remove personal feelings on if you like the band or not.

The first bands that come to mind are Metallica and Aerosmith.

Brian

Guns N Roses used to be

mrAPE

We discussed metallica and aerosmith. I personally went with metallica because I don't think their popularity dropped off as much as aerosmiths has

Most of the biggest all-time acts in the US were solo artists. Elvis, Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc. Aerosmith, Metallica, The Eagles, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, The Doors come to mind with respect to biggest bands.

MarcTheFallen

Metallica

Shane

Aerosmith followed by the .... backstreet boys...

Probably Metallica.

I would consider RHCP too, but I'm not really sure how the rest of the world sees them.

The bands that come to my mind are Metallica, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the Doors

WakeOfAshes

Necrothulhu

Whatever. The biggest bands from the US aren't that great anyway

MenAreTrash

Yeah, RHCP come to mind too.

WakeOfAshes

no... RHCP should not come to mind.

Van Halen probably deserves a mention. Not really now but at some point for sure.

mrAPE

Lol leah butthurt

Anyway I think its between metallica and aerosmith. Their are a lot of honorable mentions though.

I wonder how country music is viewed in other countries
