The Doors, Dion Dimucci, The Beach Boys, The Sonics, The Shadows of Knight, The American Breed, Tommy James and the Shondells. Pick one. They're all more influential than Aerosmith, and competed with British bands in the mid to late 60's. And believe me when I say that I have a thousand more bands like them that I can name. Now hush, before Gary US Bonds takes you to New Orleans and teaches you about real rock 'n roll.
