What do you guys think of first when you think of "American music"? Artists, genres, top 5 songs; whatever comes into your head.

*(This is only partly morbid curiosity, you understand. The rest of my objective is to gauge how much wtf face I should make. ;P)

eta; also I am spared from making smitten kitchen's salted caramel brownies only because a) I'm scared of making caramel and b) my roommate made a pan of triple-chocolate brownies the other day. >.>

Bruce Springsteen, Motown, hip hop, classic folk artists like Pete Seeger and classic American folk songs like "This Land Is Your Land," and "Shenandoah," gospel/spirituals. This is all very obviously US American, heh.

After taking a look at some other responses, I'm surprised I didn't think of Elvis! Or the blues, that really is a super American genre to me.

I like this SPRINGSTEEN contingent, hee! Also, YES to hip hop etc. :D
