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.

I was just about to mention the Gibb brother's. Even if you don't like most of their songs, there are many other songs out there in many different genre's that they wrote that were performed by other singers that became big hits.
