And, for Philly Q (where is he, btw?), I think what Aerosmith did to re-invent itself was superb. I suspect that I possibly regard their resurrection with the torch ballads etc etc as a bigger achievement than getting famous in the first place :lol:
I've been in Exeter being used as a punchbag by my two young nieces..... :?
Anyway, Aerosmith.... as said before,
Permanent Vacation was awesome but in retrospect it was the beginning of the end. Everything since has been utter toss and I honestly think they should be shot for inflicting "Crazy", "Jaded" and (especially) "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" on the world. Just split up and $%&# off. :x
My not-so-guilty pleasures.... I love just about
anything that was in the UK top 40 between 1977 and 1981, which was my period of listening non-stop to Radio 1. That includes the disco stuff.
I also liked loads of '80s AOR/wimphem (the stuff Dave Reynolds used to write about in Kerrang! - Jonathan may know what I'm talking about). Much of it so utterly wet and weedy that it barely qualifies as "rock" music at all. Doesn't stand the test of time too well either.
