Being around a long time doesn't make you the greatest.
Aerosmith is definitely up there...
Selling out the largest venues in the world for 40 years, being on world tour contantly and selling out usually within a week of releasing tickets does kinda help......
It means they're great, and they get along well. Doesn't mean their music is any better than some of the bands that broke up over the years.
I'm not knocking you saying they're the greatest, I'm just saying that being around a long time doesn't really have anything to do with it. IMO, anyway.
Queen :heart:
Though I think it's hard to classify them as rock. Majority of their songs are pretty poppy.
3/4 of the bands on this list shouldn't even be considered. And the person who said evanescence should be taken out back, tied down, brushed with honey and eaten alive by ants.
queen > everything... ever.
