The Boston-based rock band Aerosmith was one of the most popular hard rock bands of the 70s, setting the style and sound of hard rock and heavy metal for the next two decades. They landed a record contract with Columbia Records in 1972. Aerosmith's ability to pull off both ballads and rock & roll made them extremely popular during the mid-70s, where they had a string of gold and platinum albums. By the early 80s, the group's audience had begun to decline as the band fell prey to drug and alcohol abuse. But, in the late 80s, Aerosmith pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in rock history, returning to the top of the charts with a group of albums that equaled, if not surpassed, the popularity of their 1970s albums.
