Four time Grammy Award winners and the MusiCares Person of the Year goes along with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction; but Aerosmith’s legacy is one that spreads throughout music with an influence that spans the genres. Having an album reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 Album chart across six generations shows the impact of that influence.
