Great American bands that I can think of are The Doors, The Eagles, Metallica Nirvana, Pearl jam.

I agree 100% about the British invasion stuff. (Don't forget ELO)
But I think you're forgetting the Boston band, The Cars. One of the best American music groups for that era.
Maybe they don't have the lasting influence The Doors had, (but neither does Nirvana, Metallica, Pearl Jam in my opinion.)
You can't listen to their first 3 albums and tell me they weren't great though. Heck, and they continued to be great up until their end. They did quite a lot musically in only a few short years.

You think The Cars or the Doors have bigger influence then Metallica? That right there renders your musical opinions moot. As for the OP,none of the bands you mentioned should be in the same sentence as the beatles.The Who just suck..and the rest are way over rated. Especially Sabbath and Zeppelin.That's my opinion though

The Doors definately have more influence than Metallica. And I'm not really a fan of either. Metallica had a short period of greatness, but I wouldn't list them as one of the greatest American bands. See my above list for a short list of the greats though its still missing quite a bit.
