Seminal American sleazy blues rockers, led by the Toxic Twins - singer Steven Tyler and guitar legend Joe Perry.
First successful in the late '70s, Aerosmith temporarily disappeared off the radar, only to return to be bigger than ever in the mid '80s when a collaboration with Run DMC on 'Walk This Way' marked a turnaround in their flagging fortunes.
They've released more live albums and best of compilations alone than most bands have had hot dinners and their success has continued with a softer, more ballad-orientated direction, as Tyler and Perry continue to rock into their 50s.
