9. Aerosmith
Aerosmith’s lead singer, Steven Tyler, made a lasting impressing on the modern world of music like few before him. The Boston bad boy group became notorious as they emerged on the American music scene in 1970, and gave the world some unforgettable stadium anthems such as “Walk This Way”, and “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”.

Aerosmith’s music is a combination of up-tempo, bluesy hard rock, mixed with elements of heavy metal and pop rock, all of which helped contribute to their remarkable longevity and impressive record sales of over 150 million copies worldwide. They even helped make rap more mainstream, with their collaboration with Run DMC on tracks like “Walk This Way”.
8. Guns N’ Roses
Guns N’ Roses vocalist-guitarist duo of Axl Rose and Slash is probably the most impressive duo out there. The band allegedly earned themselves the title of being one of the most dangerous bands in the late 1980s, due to their infamous debauchery and fighting, but the band’s legacy goes well beyond their bad boy reputation. You probably remember their elaborate “November Rain” music video which was literally on repeat on MTV throughout the 1990s.

The band has changed its set-up a number of times over the years, but today Axl Rose and Slash are back touring together, which is a very good thing if you ask us! In their early years, their hedonistic activities got them compared to The Rolling Stones, and seeing their influence on rock and pop music until today, there is probably more to that comparison than just their so-called self-indulgent behavior.
