America is GREAT.
Wikipedia:
Starting in 1966, The Dead started playing the song at concerts.
Bassist Phil Lesh has described "Dancing in the Street" as the first song the band stretched out in the live setting from a short pop song into drawn out improvisational jam piece, a practice that would become a Grateful Dead signature.

I found the question of "Who is America's greatest rock band," too hard to answer.
Trey won me over, it's The Dead.

The Eagles AND The Dead, brah.
It’s a tie.
But thanks!

It always seemed too commercial, too safe - there is nothing wrong with it. Just not near the top of what I want to listen to.
Give me Gram Parsons 1st.

It's so easy to think of a long list of American bands that are fantastic, but have some kind of specificity or twist about what they do (REM, anyone?) that doesn't quite jibe with the "THE" part.
In the end, I vote TP and the Heartbreakers.

It all comes down to taste.
The Dead had that long magical ride that was like nobody else.
