Aerosmith, who rose to immense popularity in their home country and in Japan as titans of American hard rock in the 1970s, continued to thrive at the forefront of the scene for decades into the 2020s with a sound that digested a wide range of influences rooted in their origins.

Unfortunately, it’s still fresh in our memory that their farewell tour was canceled in August 2024 due to frontman Steven Tyler’s throat issues, but the many masterpieces they’ve created remain beloved and unfading.

In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind, the Stand used by Narancia Ghirga is named “Aerosmith,” directly referencing the band—so be sure to check it out.
