Do you think the rock band Aerosmith even approached their claim of being the biggest thing to ever hit the planet?

The biggest thing to ever hit this planet was that 6 mile wide asteroid or comet that made the crater in Chicxulub. The Gulf of Mexico. It was definitely NOT Aerosmith. This post was edited by Zack at October 12, 2018 7:55 AM MDT

No. They were not. It has been theorized that our moon is the residue of the biggest thing to ever hit the planet.

More recently, smartphone was a bigger hit. 

Sounds like Wayne & Garth are in the house.

They made a splash but there are others that made bigger impressions.

They're certainly free to dream on.

No.  They were close back in the day except drugs got in their way.   Once Joe Perry left and formed Joe Perry Project, that was it for me.   Rocks, though -  great album.    Everything after Draw The Line was horrible, just horrible.    Don't even get me started, because I just ate.

Nope. Overrated AF. 

But "Dream On" is a solid song, however. Timed beautifully. 

Aerosmith had some good songs, mostly in their early years. They don’t come close to Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles(who I don’t care for), Pearl Jam, Nirvana(who I don’t care for), and Elvis, who were far bigger in music. This post was edited by Rizz at October 14, 2018 2:56 PM MDT

I never immersed in Elvis for a sit down listen and music soul died for my ego when I heard the first tangential twang of alternative in 1980. The shred instrumental stuff was awesome though. Tony Macalpine for one.

I don't know of any such claim but even if it existed not sure why it would be so important to you.  How is there any way anyone could know what the biggest thing to hit the planet was?  And why would anyone even care.  Is it a matter of finding out what the biggest thing is and just automatically following it because it is the biggest thing?  That seems pretty desperate and sad. 

Lots of people are going to make such claims to get attention like I remember in my youth Cassius Clay (Mohammed Ali) used to talk about being "The Greatest" etc. and I just never paid much attention to that.  Aerosmith was a very good group and their success over a number of years is a matter of record.  Some people are going to like them and listen to them and some people are not.  The music is what is important here rather than anything they may or may not have said in interviews.  Not really important at all whether they are or are not the biggest whether you like them or not.  That shouldn't matter.
