After alot of thought my vote goes with Areosmith, when it comes to music. As far as going the distance it's the Peppers. And the Black Crows need to get into the race....
Back to the Peppers & stuff..........

Well, most teens were listening to Billie Jean and When Doves Cry. If you check sales figures Thriller (the largest selling album of all time) and Purple Rain were bigger sellers than 1984 by Van Halen (which also sold massive ofcourse). BTW Eddie Van Halen playing on a disco/funk/rock record (Beat It)... I guess that was shocking in those days
Hello Bowiestone,
My theroy about "Thriller" & "Purple Rain" which are great 80's albums is that Most Parents(the already lovers of funk, disco, dance....) loved it too. I bet in most households you could find two copies of those LP's.
Bowiestone:
Not everybody can be intrested in funk, but a lot were. Could be that the peppers brought funk to the attention of some metalheads... but that isn't such a great achievement compared to the stones.
The stones introduced the blues to the whole 'white' world.
CZR:
No, not just metalheads. But Punks, & rockers too.
You forgot 2/3's of the kids.
I think what they've done, taking music to a different place the way they have is the closest thing to what the Stones did in the 60's. I'm not by any way saying that they are = to or better, just that they are not only the most original band (that still records) since the the Stones, but they've made similar accomplishments & lived just as hard.
Whatch "Live at SlaneCastle"
Long Live the Stones.
