Weld: Who are the top five American rock bands of all time?
Willie Watson: American rock bands? Well that’s tough, because most rock bands are English. Well, the Heartbreakers. And this is in no particular order: I want to say Crazy Horse, but they’re Canadian. The Grateful Dead. I don’t know — the Crickets? [Laughs] Scratch that.
Those guys that played with Chuck Berry – the piano player and all those guys that made those early records with Chuck. Elvis’s early band — the Tennessee Three or something like that, whatever those guys were called.
Weld: That’s four.
Willie Watson: I wish I could just say Crazy Horse.
Weld: I mean, the Band always gets a pass because of Levon Helm, so…
Willie Watson: Oh my God, I want to say the Band, but they’re Canadian, too. All right, let’s say Crazy Horse.
