TRF caucus makes Aerosmith look like they really fell off a cliff. Which they did :yes:

[Rick N. Backer]

You guys are making a mistake. Please listen to Rock in a Hard Place and then tell me Get a Grip is a better album.

This is a great song...but man does Steven look rough

Here's a review of the album that is in line with your thoughts, Rick... "In theory a disaster," observed Classic Rock magazine, "in practice, an unlikely triumph. Never mind the Spinal Tap-anticipating Stonehenge cover – Rock in a Hard Place is one kick-ass album… 'Lightning Strikes', 'Bolivian Ragamuffin' and 'Joanie's Butterfly' are classic Aerosmith songs – no matter who played on them."

And, actually, one of my favorite songs is the title track.

I probably don't know enough about the whole discography to vote intelligently (USA! USA!), but am I crazy for liking Done With Mirrors? That was the first Aerosmith album I bought (it was touted as a "comeback" or "reunion" album, I vaguely recall), and I can still hum the chorus of "She's On Fire" to myself. It thought the follow-ups to that one were more glam-y, more MTV-y and less heavy.

I'm going to support Done with Mirrors over anything that came after it.

I like all of them that are left except Get a Grip, and even that has a few bops.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Pump is still their best album to me!

[IbanezJem]

I think it`s of its time, which is not necessarily a criticism, just the way it feels to me - it makes sense that you don`t feel that way :codger:

Is there anything that feels more early 90s than the film True Romance featuring The Other Side?

[Turbine Freight]

Those are the two I chose to boot at this stage. I like DWM, PV & Pump just a bit more than RIAHP but I get your annoyance.

[invisible airwave]

Get A Grip's best songs are the ones that don't get played on radio. Cryin', Crazy and Amazing can sod off.

I like it better than all of those. Not by a lot but it's closer to classic era than most of the Desmond Child-era stuff.

I suppose that’s true. In 20 years time I’m sure trap will invariably sound like 2017 to me (at least I hope it passes out of the mainstream by then!)

Crazy and Amazing are just okay, but don’t take Cryin’ from me! That little a capella break towards the end is one of the best moments they ever recorded!
