I watched a documentary once of their latter years ( late 80's early 90's). they were in the studio with some big time producer, you'd recognize his name. He was basically giving them the " I dont hear a hit single" speech and they were all following his lead. I thought it was sad that one of the leading bands in 70s hard rock was taking this approach. This was the same time Metallica was playing to sold out crowds, playing 12 minute tunes and basically had limited airplay. I really felt Aerosmith sold out, it was pretty sad watching them in the studio.
I think they have some classic songs and those songs will stand the test of time for decades. I have a massive cd collection of 70-80s hard rock and dont own one of their cds. I had lots of friends into them but they never really did it for me. I guess their biggest contribution to my life is producing the hot elf chick in Lord of the Rings......
