BC is the best band after the Stones. Southern Harmony is a masterpiece.
Very, very good live band.

..Black Crowes are hugely overrated; they don't hold a candle to Aerosmith's early work..

Black Crowes have a better catalog of GREAT songs than Aero. Aero have tried to rip off the STones from Day 1 (Aero, i.e.). Aerosmith should re-name themselves to something like AeroJovi.

I've got to go with Aerosmith. That being said, I remember when the Crowes first came out, I actually had the thought that, if they wanted to, The Stones could actually retire (thank God they didn't) as there was finally someone to pick up and carry the torch for them.
To me, Aerosmith and the Black Crowes are radically different bands. Aerosmith is far more of a "Hard Rock" band where the Crowes fall more into the Stones line of "Roots Rock", “Rock” and/or "Rock & Roll". The Crowes could almost be said to be descendents of The Stones - grandchildren maybe? Aerosmith would be more like 2nd or 3rd cousins... The family resemblance is there but there's no real blood relationship.
Good question though... Hard question actually as I really like both bands and I can come up with reasons I like both better than the other. I just keep coming back to the though of "what would music be like now without Aerosmith in the 70s vs. what would music be like now without the Black Crowes in the 90s"?

out of my head
Black Crowes not overrated. Saw them for the 7th time last November in Austin TX. Bad PA system but great show. Crowes by far have always taken more from Faces anyway. Then the Stones. and then the Dead. And then Pink Floyd and then Dylan and then Terry Reid. You get my point The Crowes musical influences are so diverse and beyond comprehension it is ridiculous. Not over rated. They never sold out and stayed true to their roots. Best rock and roll band of today. Sorry my fav Stones. Crowes have long been faithful to their true vision and sound. Shunning all corporate bullshit along the way. Only true rock and roll band in existence today. Love the Stones they will always be number 1 for all their stuff from 62 till 83 but after that no thanks. Crowes and Aerosmith ? Aerosmith not even in the same league musically as the Stones and the Crowes.
