Aerosmith!

Gotta go with Aerosmith

no contest.

Aerosmith in a big way

I have to agree, Aerosmith is the better band but both bands had most of their hits in the 70's.

I love the Aerosmith songs from the 70's, but when it comes to the 80's, I'll take Cheap Trick.

Aerosmith is dominating at this stage

What I like about Aerosmith is that they have weathered the test of time, but this is a question about who was the best 80's band. So, you make a valid comment.

Still going to have to go with Aerosmith.
