Question by noname: Aerosmith overated?its true back in the saddle kicked ass & their latter songs r commercial but crazy is good?
To be truly considered great, the span of their career needs to be great. Latter on aerosmith did a lot of promotion in attaching their names to stuff and wrote commercial friendly song because their company didn’t think their songs will have radio play. And they also hired song doctors. So ppl view them as ran out of idea & sold out. Music connoisseurs dimiss all aerosmith stuff not in toys in the attic & rocks. But sometimes i think ppl base what is good on how raw they were (instead of the later polish sound) and how esoteric the songs were. I think crazy is a good song. Great harmonica to start the song, great singing (tyler’s voice has the same feel as a harmonica) especially the falsetto in the end. It is very middle of the road, safe rock. The guitar isn’t anything not done before & can be viewed as dull/uninpiring, but you know what it sounds pretty good. Most pop songs are love songs. So ppl think love songs are overdone. But that doesn’t mean its a crime to write love songs. and love songs should be viewed as inferior. Personally, i think writing a decent commercial song isn’t that easy. We can’t really put crazy on the same scale as pop rock songs that use a few chords & the selling point is the quirkiness. its better. But I do agree aerosmith have been riding on their past fame for awhile. But they wrote some great songs that most bands can’t do so you can’t say they are overated. And i guess I am Just trying to say the success of crazy came back to bite it. But it really is a decent song & that was post 70s aerosmith.

I love Aerosmith, all kinds of Aerosmith. They’re a great, timeless band. They were a sell out in the 80s, bc they needed to get back on their feet, so I don’t blame them. And if you think Aerosmith is overrated go listen to Rocks.
