Don't forget The Velvet Underground and how much they were influential on punk, post-punk and alt.rock.

And Hendrix, whom you mentioned earlier on. I guess that if we get out of the prog circle, and the 70's time frame, we can consider artists like Metallica, Michael Jackson, Madonna as real immortals for America. Or if we go earlier on, then Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. But still, I prefer the british pop/rock music in general.

In that group of immortals for America, add also Bo Diddley, James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, The Temptations, Electric Flag, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Laura Nyro, Tom Waits, Jakson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, to name a few...

Well, I was trying to keep the list compact, as with the british immortals. If one starts adding and adding artists, one will never know when to stop. But at the very least I would keep Bob Dylan. Perhaps The Beach Boys have been ommited here, whom I understand were really huge too.
Just one more--the Grateful Dead. Longevity and chops. 'Nuff said.
