Not sure I understand your point but you do realize there are many bands on that list that have members that are not American?

Not to mention Neil Young...

well their North American, but anyway just 70's albums that might be of interest to an international audience or those that grew up later and didnt know they existed, while being bombarded by Led Zeppelin and the Stones on the radio.

I was also referring to Fleetwood Mac. Only Buckingham and Nicks are American, the others British. In CSN, Nash is British. I think there are more on the list.

OK, lets just take Johnny Winter's Still, Alive and
Well, why is this a landmark recording?

Johnny was the biggest thing in New York during this
time and Janis Joplin his hometown world
sensation had just died, along with Jim Morrison
and Jimi Hendrix. The Rolling Stones wanted Johnny
to play with them but why would you need Mick
Jaggar and Keith Richards(after Brian Jones died) in
the same band, Johnny was better than both put
together. So they began to understood that the
honeymoon couldn't last, and parted.

Johnny Winter is a rock n roll blues legend and
certifies that the best(along with Billy Gibbons from
ZZ Top, Hendrix's favorite guitarist and the late great
Stevie Ray Vaughan, who took Clapton's place in the
jet crash in the 80's) rock guitarists are from Texas!
Why do you think Eric Clapton had his world classic
guitar festival in Dallas, Texas? Its the heart of
GUITAR musicians!

Johnny Winter's Still, Alive and Well is as Rock n Roll
Classic that will never be duplicated. Muddy Water's
words are Johnny Winter is my son, he never said
this about anyone. This is a legendary recording for
anyone consumed by Rock n Roll and Blues Rock in
general. One of the best RnR recordings ever!. You
can see why the Stones couldn't use Johnny, he
was better than the band. Saints and Sinners and
John Dawson Winter III are other documents of this
great musican. Muddy knew

see Buddy Guy and Roy Buchanan, you dont know
what is like to be in the heart of rock n roll if your not
in the southern USA!
