Their sound, where they formed, where the members are from? . I guess that it's up to ourselves to decide personally. I don't consider CSNY an American band because of Graham's first band, The Hollies. They were a part of the British Invasion, so it's hard for me to say that a member of that band became a member of an American band.

Fleetwood Mac are my 2nd favorite band, behind Bad Company. I love just about everything that they have done. I believe that most people refer to them as British American. Regardless, they rock!
The vast majority of people would regard CSNY as American because of the style of music they played. The fact that one of them was born in England isn't really relevant.

NMB, my mistake about the Cult.
