Man, lookit the $$ that's out there to be made touring if you're a legacy act that can still haul your carcasses onto the stage. That venue looks like its holding half the country.

[kcmets]

I don't remember if you cotton to them, but that's a damn fine

performance of that song as far as things go... I'm BACK!!

[Edgy MD]

Doesn't everybody cotton to 1970s Aerosmith?



Even 2002 Aerosmith doing 1970s Aerosmith is gold.

[Fman99]

Is Aerosmith the United States' all time greatest classic rock band? I think they may be.

Aerosmith and The Eagles are the greatest classic rock bands? (rolls eyes). Wouldn't make my top 30. Jeez, all that's missing here is for the other guy to chime in and add Kiss and Switchfoot to this conversation, whoever the hell Switchfoot is. Did I suddenly get transported to some bizarre alternate universe of bad taste? With KC as the DJ, it's likely.

[seawolf17]

Oh, come on. Even if you don't put them at the top, to say that Aerosmith and the Eagles aren't even top THIRTY means you're not even on the same planet.



In Taijuan's defense, Since Tai joined the Mets, Schwarber's only 4 for 8 with 4 home runs off him. (Sigh.) Also, Schwarber is entering serious all-time "I hate that guy" territory.

“Night in the Ruts” is a highly underrated album! I interviewed Joe Perry once. He might have been high at the time.

“Live Bootleg” holds up well. But the later MTV-era stuff, not so much.

[Willets Point]

While many of the bands in batmagadanleadoff's list are not from the United States, I'd agree that there are a ton of US classic rock bands I'd enjoy listening to more than Aerosmith (who I'm "meh" on) and the Eagles (who I despise).

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I think bml missed fman's "American" qualifier, as well as the "band" thing. Soul acts, much more egregiously, got broadly and aggressively weeded out as the AOR format faded and "Classic Rock" was born. The playlists of stations identifying as ascribing to the "classic rock" format are incredibly, incredibly white. Once you get past Hendrix and Jaimoe, finding the next most frequently appearing black artist who is an official member of the act is a long, sick, sad slog.



I think Fuck the Eagles is something that we all can agree on. That and the desire for glorious Mets victory this evening.

[cal sharpie]

Completely agree with Willets Point and batmag on the relative worth of Aerosmith and the Eagles. Only about 11 or 12 on Batmag's list are both American and groups (as opposed to solo acts) and some might not quite be in the "classic rock" genre (Monkees don't get a lot of airplay on classic rock stations).

Fuck the Eagles.



I like Joe Perry but Aerosmith lacks any originality. They're not innovative or groundbreaking in any way at all. Steve Tyler is a total Mick Jagger knock-off and the band comes off as a weak, limited Led Zeppelin wannabe. And that's before MTV came along, when Aerosmith then morphed into the ultimate cheeseball commercial money-grubbing schlockmeisters.



The best? Please.

What? There's a musical act on my list that's not a band? They're all bands.

[whippoorwill]

What's wrong with the Eagles?

[whippoorwill]

So no. We don't all unlike them. And I have never seen a good argument against them here
