Springsteen's first album was 3 years before SSJ's.
Stand and There's A Riot Going On are stone cold classic albums.

Aye, but Southside Johnny was established on the New Jersey live scene before Springsteen. Springsteen himself acknowledges the debt in his autobiography.
Southside Johnny was from Ocean Grove, the Methodist camp town next to Asbury Park. He was our local king of the blues, ergo his sobriquet “Southside.” He was a softhearted, crabby closet intellectual, very soulful and slightly unhinged, but he knew everything about the blues and soul artists, their careers and their records.

Pearl jam and pixies play hyde park 2020 they have to be up there - hendrix is for me- to remix and take the piss out of cream says it all really
UZZA_SPARTA
Midfield
with a singer/song writer from Scotland?
The Monkees back in the day (huge US band) also had a British input.... so i'm sticking with REM
and second choice would offer up Smashing Pumpkins (partly because their singer cancelled entire tour at their height to follow British band Curve on tour around the USA
)
Man About Town
Winger
Blondie
