Bring it, punks. You think the world forgot the Gary Cherone era? I think not.

The post-drugs Aerosmith songs are sort of like the Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen songs. Seriously underrated, and likely to win votes. There are a lot of good songs there.

Aerosmith, 7-3.

What is weird here to me is that at one time I loved both these bands but now I can barely stand either of them.

Wolf, I like the YouTube links.

Doc, No "Hot For Teacher"? No "Jump"? "Jamie's Cryin'" verus "Janie's Got a Gun" would've been a good one.

I kinda wanted to see how this one played out. I should have thrown my 10-0 vote in there (I wouldn't have put the songs up that way if I didn't think they were better than the VH ten), dammit.

Doc breaks the tie with his last vote. Interesting.

seawolf - "Doc breaks the tie with his last vote. Interesting."

The matchups Aerosmith and Van Halen have both been extremely close. In this rematch, Van Halen prevails 41.5-38.5 with my vote of 6.5-3.5 being the difference maker. In the first match up, Aerosmith won by a 51-50 count, with seawolf's 9-1 vote providing the victory.

Should these two bands ever square off again, I suggest we both refrain from voting and let the people decide it once and for all.
