Who, exactly, has been suggested that is non-American since you previously complained?

Not complaining, just pointing out as others have done. Need to define "american band." Neil Young, Brian Adams, The Clash, Gene Simmons is an Israeli. Do you mean a band formed in the usa regardless of what nationality the members are, or just a band that became popular in the states regardless of the nationality of the band members?

Beach Boys :confused:

Funny, every time I see The Beach Boys, they're all playing instruments; even Mike Love, if only a tambourine.

Last time I checked, Canada was still a part of the Americas, if we're splitting hairs that fine, bam bam is still trolling with posts like that, and Gene Simmons has yet to release a record in Yiddish. Try to have a little more fun with these things, OK? Do you have a nomination?

I was a kid of the 80's, so I have some bias, but:

for kicking a$$:
Rush (NORTH American)
Van Halen (pre 1984)
and of course, The Crüe!

for cerebral pleasure:
Uncle Tupello

for funking you to death:
The Meters

Lighten up! Why are you ignoring the continents of Central and South America if your definition of American is in place? PLease list the great bands from those continents that you think are great. Or just lighten the fuck up!

Los Lobos.

They have a body of work that is just about impossible to touch. Talented musicians all, broad expanse of styles, and David Hidalgo has a voice that is unmatched. The guy can sing.
