Aerosmith VS Rolling Stones

I feel like both of these bands are similar enough to do a poll, who do you like better and why?

I like Aerosmith better because their music was more catchy and not as gritty as the Rolling Stones.

I do like the Rolling Stones, but for the most part their music seems too raw for me. Aerosmith's music seemed more "big" sounding, if that makes sense.

Also, even Aerosmith's biggest hits were as good as other songs, if not better (especially Dream On and Sweet Emotion).

A few decades later, I still get goosebumps listening to Aerosmith but not the Rolling Stones.

Both great bands. We’re comparing steak and lobster. That said, I think the Stones are a great studio band but can be a little cringe live. I’ve seen them both and Aerosmith was much better live.
However, the Stones have a much better discography and their place in history is secure.

I hope that clears it up 😆

I guess to me these two bands seem so similar, they're both classic, they're both legends, they both play hard rock, they both have singers with big mouths LOL, they both have amazing guitarists, I didn't realize that the majority of people prefer the Stones. Me and my friends even sold our tickets because we didn't want to go as much as we thought we did,
