That's true, but there were other bands that held their ground like Blue Oyster Cult, Kansas, Journey, Chicago, and Styx to name a few.

What are you talking about? By the time those bands arrived, Britain was going through it's glam rock phase, with acts like Slade, T-Rex, The Sweet, Suzi Quatro, etc. No clashing with the British Invasion bands there. And I really don't remember BOC, Kansas, or Chicago competing over the glam sound. By the time Journey and Styx became big, glam rock was winding down into hair metal and pop-metal anyway.

Look, I get it. You like Aerosmith. But please stop this madness.
