Aerosmith is tied with the Rolling Stones when it comes to U.S. album sales – and they exude the same raucous rockstar energy. Their first five albums achieved multi-platinum success, but it’s the band’s drama that keeps them in the headlines. Between strings of rehab and public quips about his bandmates, Steven Tyler is perhaps one of the most enigmatic frontmen of all time. Of course, who wouldn’t have a few arguments if you’ve spent the better part of 40 years trapped in a tour bus with your best mates?

Today, Steven Tyler has enjoyed success as an American Idol judge, while his bandmates are busy polishing their four Grammy Awards. Among millennials, the legendary ’70s rock band is best known for penning the iconic Armageddon theme song. It doesn’t get much better than that.
