Wasn't Booker T and the MGs THE Stax band?
hey DP! yeah the core of it was them, but also Isaac Hayes, and David Porter, on piano.. then the horn players, Wayne Jackson and Andrew Love...
this from Wikipedia...
"The sextet of Cropper, Dunn, Hayes, Jackson, Jones and Porter were collectively known as the "Big Six" within the halls of Stax, and were (either as a group, or working in various combinations) responsible for producing almost all of the label's output from about 1963 through 1969."

Agh...Got me on the Talking Heads...they should have been there over Creedence.
So you guys like 1 Canadian band & no other bands outside the U.S. out of both Americas? Or...you knew I meant the U.S.
To be fair, my wife much prefers the term U.S., being from S. America. Then again, she also thinks we all view the map upside down...perspective...

Neil Young is CA…NAY…DEE…EN! His best song is about Ontario….Canada! LOL….Peace
Last time I checked Canada was part of America. And last time I read about Young's citizenship, it was US/american, no?
Just as Norway is a part of greater Sweden...so yes, absolutely correct.

I am quite surprised by the fact that almost all of the replies mention only white, mainly rock, bands.

That's probably because that is what most here listen to.

How about George Clinton and his bands, or The Meters, or Living Colour?
Who?
If that reply was honest, I highly recommend that you start searching for some Parliament Funkadelic & Meters albums. Now. As in, drop what you're doing and go to amazon.com and choose the "One Click Ordering" option. Start with the greatest hits albums and work your way in. If money's tight, hit YouTube and enjoy... I can almost guarantee that your life will be improved by the results of your search.
Peace,
Mr DJA

Thanks but no thanks.

Surprised not only because, as noted in my earlier post, there are so many stellar American "black" bands that have hardly received any recognition here, but also and above all surprised because most of said bands had a great influence on the Rolling Stones.
It is also a surprise (from a statistically point of view - and more so on a Rolling Stones fan site) to see that a great part of the bands cited are not so directly linked to black music (don't take this literally). Understandable if the poll was referred to Italian or Hungarian bands, but in our case? The importance of black music is HUGE in American culture!

P.S. WARNING: there is NOTHING that is intended to be racist in the above, I am not accusing anybody of being racist, the word "black" is in no way intended to be offensive, as in "Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud"
