My interest in Aerosmith honestly peaked with that Playstation video game "Generation X" where they're in the game and help you defeat terrorists by giving you CDs to throw at them which really was a very intelligent and useful way to use their albums.

Yes, 70s Aerosmith was actually the bomb. 70s Aerosmith.

PV and Pump were making the rotation pretty heavily back when they were first released because fans of 70s Aerosmith thought the band was dead and gone after a string of 4 pretty terrible albums.

Do I own either of them today? No. But they were pretty great at the time. MTV kinda burned them out in hindsight.

Yeah, I think that's one of the main reasons. Saturation from too much radio airplay.

I use to love Aerosmith when I first started playing guitar. Then again, I was into a lot of ****ty classic rock bands.

Buuuuutttttt, I kinda like Love in an Elevator.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

When Aerosmith started there was a bit of a music divide between the two countries. It's hard to understand since in the 60s there was the British Invasion and every band popular in the UK was popular in the US, and maybe it seems the two are always on the same page. However in the mid to late 70s they went their separate ways. It wasn't till the 80s with MTV, that UK bands started to be popular again in the US. The British had already had NWOBHM, so I don't know what kind of impact Aerosmith would make there. Even Def Leppard struggled in the beginning and were actually more popular in the US first, in part due to MTV.

It is a simple answer. Because of Rolling Stones. The truth is that most people prefer Rolling Stones over Aerosmith. I would love a duet between Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler. I think they should do that in the future.
