If we are looking at entire careers, then I have to give it to Aerosmith because let's face it, Lynyrd Skynyrd died in October 1977. What we have left is kinda/sorta a tribute band that does a fine job, but it's not the same and the albums they've released since that fateful day haven't been even close to those first 5 albums.


But, if we are to compare similar time periods, say, 1973-1977, then it gets interesting. Each band put out 5 albums in nearly the same time period (LS from Aug '73 to Oct '77 and Aerosmith from Jan '73 to Dec '77).

Skynyrd:
Pronounced
Second Helping
Nothing Fancy
Gimme Back My Bullets
Street Survivors

Aerosmith:
S/T
Get Your Wings
Toys in the Attic
Rocks
Draw the Line


Two great sets of 5 albums for each band. Aerosmith had 8 singles that made it into the Top100 during that 5 year stretch, Skynyrd had 6 (not that charts are the tell-all).

I dunno, hard to vote for one over the other.

If that tragic accident never happened and LS kept releasing albums with Van Zant and the boys then my vote probably would have been different. Aerosmith just has so much great material.
