Examine the post-1970's output of Aerosmith, because the path that they traveled was unlike how things usually and eventually play out in a career in a rock band. What was it, really?
There's roughly three stages to the Aerosmith career: First, a nearly decade-long run in the 1970s as a party, blues-rocking, Stones-emulating live band with rock radio stone-cold classics.
Secondly, a late 1970s into the early 1980s drug-hazed, hit-empty period that caused a fallout that cost them both guitar players, with the grind stretching into 1985 with a less-than-great ("Done With Mirrors") comeback album.
Then, for the third act, "Walk This Way" exploded with Run D.M.C., and the band kept-a-rollin' for nearly 25 more years.
Lots of music from the "Pump" album onward. Let's re-examine what it really was. Or at least what I think it was, and you be the judge. Agree. Or nope.Just like always. Let's go.
It's a good reason to look at some Aerosmith nuggets on Rock Pop and Roll.
