Of course - straight in at number one must be Aerosmith. Some cracking tunes and albums in the seventies, followed by a decline in both popularity and the bands mental awareness (mmm...wonder why...?) set the scene for a monster collaboration in 1986 with Run DMC and producer Rick Rubin to create a new, rap infused version of Walk This Way.
Try reading those three words without hearing the iconic sound of Steven Tyler's vocal. The track and subsequent mix of re-releases and new material (Love in an Elevator, Dude Looks Like a Lady etc...) relaunched Aerosmith's flagging career, which steamrollers on to this day, and helped keep Heavy Rock ticking over nicely while it waited for Kurt Cobain and pals to get out of bed and invent Grunge.
