Put them at #1.

A lot better than Beach Boys

Doors should be ahead of CCR, Byrds and most likely #2.

When you see Steely Dan at #8, you know how good the American bands
were..... LOL

Should be higher

Good Vibrations is a classic.

>> 3. The Byrds
>

At what? Better at country-rock, sure, but the Beach Boys were better
at surf-pop.

And 'Surfin' USA', 'Surfer Girl', 'In My Room', 'I Get Around', 'Little
Honda', 'Don't Worry Baby', 'Barbara Ann', 'The Little Girl I Once Knew',
'Help Me, Rhonda', 'California Girls', and 'Heroes and Villains', to name
just a FEW of my favourites on top of 'Good Vibrations' and all of Pet
Sounds.
The Beach Boys FUCKING ROCK.
