Rolling Stones or Aerosmith?

The Rolling Stones. There's really no comparison. By the time Aerosmith came along in 1973, the Stones already had studio 14 albums under their belt, which is the same total number of studio albums than Aerosmith has made in their 37 year career from 1973 until 2010. (We're not counting, live albums, anthologies or greatest hits but albums of original material).

The Stones total output in 47 years is 27 albums compared to 14 for Aerosmith. For quality assessment, the number of AMG five star albums by the Stones is 16 and AMG five star albums by Areosmith is 4.

Steven Tyler is a pale imitation of Mick Jagger and player by player, every one of the Stones band members are are far more creative musicians than the Aerosmith crew. Aerosmith was a come lately band and it was the Rolling Stones who were the widely imitated innovators who changed pop music by bringing southern R&B, the Chuck Berry rock and roll, Chess blues and the bad boy image to modern rock.

Below is a list of 50 Stones songs that are as artful and brilliant as any songs in the past 60 years of rock and roll. When Aerosmith aquires a set of 50 song that's anywhere near as extensive and consistently good as these 50 songs, then maybe they'll have bragging rights as the world's greatest rock and roll band:
