And I should care about your opinion because...?

To each his own for sure. I won't act elitist about the notion that I am putting forth here, but it's been LONG while since Aerosmith has been at the cutting edge or even the forefront of the mainstream. They certainly have a vast library of hits that can keep them touring into virtual infinity, though. They will never have a shortage of fans.

There are 2 ways of viewing music, in my opinion. Some of us latch on to bands when they are rising and we never abandon them. Some of us though are always looking for something new. Although I like music that fits both categories, I see myself as more of the latter type. I am always looking for new sound. Aerosmith has been duplicated in their industry by so many knock-offs and influenced so many others, that frankly, the sound is old. Bands like GNR, Aerosmith and AC-DC have their rightful place in music history, but we are pretenders if we believe they are 'avant-garde.', which is the crux of the argument of those that call them 'nobodies.'

I honestly believe that Music is very personal and that is why these discussions get personal and sensitive when they shouldn't.

BTW, In my honest opinion, 'Dream On' is Aerosmith's best song.
