My favorite Aerosmith album has always been 'Get Your Wings', To me Joe Perry never really did that much on guitar, for me anyway, but with Steven Tyler, Perry & Tyler became as one with Aerosmith. Some of the drum beats produced by Aerosmith can stand up with any other bands from that era of Rock,
like Bad Company & Kiss, of course not to the more progressive rock & classical influences used by other bands of that era like Rush,Triumph,&Yes, Aerosmith did just as much in the 70s+ era, just as so did the Rolling stones in the mid to late 60s and on into the 70s and the 80s also, just as Aerosmith did. The Stones are Legends in the history of rock music , I could go on & on but, To Me...both of these bands are different in many ways, and I have the highest of respect for both bands, I could never say which band I like the most because I like them both equally and they are not alike with they're music, I honestly dont think anyone cound honestly say that one is better than the other. Only choose a personal favorite between the Stones or Aerosmith. So in conclusion, I would say that the stones started when things were making a change in the world, with music, social structure, war, and they were around the time of the British invasion. where Aerosmith inspired & influenced other bands & musicians through the decades also, just as the Stones have done also. But its fun to debate and hear other opinions on the subject, hope I didnt rant & rave too awful much,but supper is almost ready and Im in a hurry to finish so I can eat & catch a movie.
That's a very fair and unbiased opinion. It would be rather unfair of me to say that the Stones have better albums than Aerosmith since I haven't actually sat through any entire Aerosmith album aside from greatest hit compilations.

Also, I choose this comparison because they are both groups heavily influenced by the blues and are often debated. Most places I've seen it Aerosmith is the more popular choice, but I haven't found a well backed pro-Aerosmith argument yet. Personally it's good to see strong Stones support though! There are many pairings of two bands you could debate, but this is the one I find the most interesting and that I have a stronger opinion on.
