Some people call them "the greatest band in America." Are they the greatest? Only you can decide that. For me, they truly are a great band. They've also been known as "the bad boys from Boston." Read Legends of Rock & Roll - Aerosmith to find out just how bad. Also called the American Stones and the American Zeppelin, Aerosmith created a style of rock and roll that spoke sex and drugs to a generation ready for both. Aerosmith is the best-selling hard rock band of all time. They have sold over 150 million albums which include 25 gold albums, 18 platinum albums and 21 multi-platinum albums. They hit the Billboard Top 40 with 17 singles, one of which, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" reached number one. They have received four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards and ten MTV Video Music Awards.All the Legends of Rock & Roll books are essentially biographies, but I am interested primarily in the music. You'll find that the emphasis is on the music, how it came to be, who wrote it and performed it and any juicy tidbits about any given song or album.If you like the music of Aerosmith, scroll up and buy now. You will enjoy it.
