Here is my list of five best Norwegian Rock Bands I know of:



jb

Bob Seger and the silver Bullet Band

Doug Sahm who played with so many bands but could hit it out of the Park every time...

Delighted to see someone mentioned the Michael McDonald-less Doobies. I take it that is the early Tom Johnson version of the band. Magnificent

Little Steven and/or Little Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
The Standells
Electric Prunes
The Nazz
The Vagrants
Mouse & The Traps
Question Mark & The Mysterians
Bob Seger of course
Quicksilver Messenger Service
The Byrds
Gene Clark solo (Not a band I know but he was great)
Gram Parsons (ditto)
The Flaming Groovies
Allman Brothers
Skynyrd...

I love 'em all...

How dare ANYONE dismiss the mighty Electric Prunes??? (Lol!) Still 'out there' - somewhere!! Still playing. Sadly without the dearly departed Mark Thulin RIP. But, at least for me and a few thousand others scattered around the globe, worthy of their place here.

Get me to the world on time y'all...

The Stooges

Eddie & The Cruisers

Beach Boys
Carl sang like an angel and killed the chuck berry stuff.
Brian on Bass

So cool that the band has been intact for over 50 years. Plus, one of Hendrix’s favorite guitarists was Billy Gibbons.

I'd be the first to agree wholeheartedly but if Chuck would qualify as a "band" then Elvis would have to be included as a top nominee also.

I would put Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels in their prime in a battle of American Bands with anybody.

Sly & The Family Stone
