Not knocking The Stones, but the big difference between them and Areosmith is Aerosmith is still releasing hits, while the Stones have a long hiatus from the charts. Both bands have had phenominal careers.

Most bands over 20 years old have difficulty realeasing albums. While they may still be popular, their new work isn't relevant in the current market. Aerosmith is the only band the I know of that has released albums for over 30 years that top the charts and have wide appeal accross all ages. Most mega bands that are able to keep popularity do so for past work not current releases.

Like I said - not knocking The Stones or The Beatles, just saying Aerosmith deserves their due.

Now if we switch to song writers .... Prince is a very prolific writer. So is Kenny Rodgers, and The Brother's Gibb.
