Aerosmith
Aerosmith
Boston, USrock
8.2bn all-time streams (15 Jan '26)
Specializing in raunchy, sleazy boogie and melodramatic ballads, Aerosmith were one of the biggest hard rock bands to emerge in the 1970s, shaping the sound and style of hard rock and metal in the decades to come.
The Boston-based quintet found the middle ground between the menace of The Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy flamboyance of the New York Dolls, developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond.
