This is just typical of the current trends in pop culture for people to suggest anything not created in the past year to suck.I'm not a fan but I recognize that they were the first rock band to be infused with rap and helped give hip hop more mainstream coverage during the formative MTV years.But Aerosmith wrote some good songs. Just because they weren't released in the past 2 years means they're 'irrelevant' to a generation of people with no long-range knowledge of rock history (or much history at all). Seriously. The last generation made Nickleback, Creed, Coldplay and Maroon 5 popular. And the one after that made all the emo ***** (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy...dudes with eyeliner in girls jeans, dimestore tattoos, etc)So you'll have to excuse me if I think most of your tastes in music aren't worth a *****.Aerosmith borrowed some of what they created but they also blazed some drug addled trails that many other bands built on and followed. They sold out stadiums when they were creating some of their best work and it still gets played on stations that aren't busy playing the flavor of the month.
