Aerosmith being remembered for their 90's output instead of their 70's material is a tragedy I can't conceive

I'm not the biggest Aerosmith fan, but I'm not that dumb to realize their 70's albums were more authentic that their plastic hard rock they made in the 90's.

It's a shame that they decided to change the dynamics and employ professional songwriters (the most anti-rock approach ever done) to help them writing.

What was that bad about "Done with Mirrors" that were forced to changed their minds? I know the record label had some influence in their decision, but it's like the OG Aerosmith sound it's not there. Chiquita, Make it, Sweet emotion, all those songs have their signature sound. But as soon as they released Permanent Vacation is like they become full Bon Jovi just to appeal the chicks.

They went for the same shitty decision as my favorite band which is Genesis. Everyone knows the story behind "Follow You, Follow Me". The members were annoyed of having men in their concerts so they attempted a love song to reach the female audience and when they knew it was working they left behind their prog rock roots for the rest of the 80's.

Even today I can't stand "Get a Grip." I don't know what's so special about that album that makes it as great as Rocks or Toys in the Attic. For me that album it's all about the ballads rather than the punch in the stomach songs they were known in the early 70's.

Even professional reviews agree that their last albums sucked from Nine Lives onwards. Maybe Aerosmith ended up having a poser fanbase rather the authentic metalheads of the 70's?. It's admirable that they went relevant after a decade, that's for sure, but 90's Aerosmith is basically the band praying to stay relevant in the radio anyhow.
