The Rolling Stones' massive 1969 concert in London's Hyde Park became an impromptu tribute to their fallen mate Brian Jones, who was discovered at the bottom of his swimming pool two days before the gig. Mick Jagger, dressed in white, read from Shelley's elegiac 'Adonais' before releasing thousands of butterflies -- most of which were already dead.

Often referred to as America's answer to the Rolling Stones, Boston's Aerosmith were always a little bit more raunchy and over-the-top than Mick and the Boys. By the time they had kicked out their third album, they had ... kicked out a damn masterpiece. Just about every single track on Toys crackles, sizzles, and where The Stones went for Blues, Aerosmith went for unbridled white boy funk swagger. "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion" are staples of the genre. But "Uncle Salty" and "Big Ten Inch Record" show off the group's sense of ballsy humor.
