Thanks, Lucifer Sam. I'll be sure to do that. Oh, I see what you're saying on the whole FOB & Creed bit. Very good point. I'm assuming most professional music critics aren't fond of them? =D And I take no offense at all. Hell, music is one of the most subjective things in the universe. And I wasn't saying that they weren't talented musicians, I just grow tired of their style rather quickly. I can see where you're coming from when you say that Van Halen didn't have much going for them with songwriting, but I believe Aerosmith were quite talented songwriters.

I tend to agree with your opinion on their musical catalog, I like In Utero is a very good album and Nevermind is above average, but I tend to think the circumstances of Cobain's death have elevated the band's status. Much like the status of Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors, Tu-Pac and others who meet unfortunate and untimely ends. Second Buddy Holly was like 20 when he died, maybe a bit older but nowhere near 27. I would say Aerosmith are clever songwriters and talented sure, but I don't know that they wrote too many great songs. A lot of music I like but tire of quickly. What would you say to that? |

I would say that we have reached a barrier that cannot really be torn down. I would say that Aerosmith were quite prolific in their songwriting skills, ranging from songs like Dream On to Love In An Elevator, but in the end it's all a matter of opinion.... Hello, by the way! =D

I'd take Aerosmiths first 5 albums over any of Queen's shite

To be quite honest, Freddy Mercury's voice annoys me after a while....

Have you heard this album? I think his guitar playing on is great (then again, I think Dylan is the greatest vocalist ever, so there you go. I consider a great vocalist to be someone whose singing is emotional, not "technically" good). I don't know about the harp either; on Live 66, it's pretty transcendant. I can't imagine You're A Big Girl Now or Tangled Up In Blue without the harp solos at the end. Most of the songs on Blonde On Blonde open up with Dylan's harmonica playing; after Kenny Buttrey's drums (and maybe Kooper's organ), it's probably the most important instrument on the album.

Speak for yourself. I'll take one of the most original and talented bands ever over some overhyped third rate c*ck rock band of below average musical talent any day of the week.
