Somewhat true but…it’s still rock n roll. Aerosmith hasn’t been Rock n roll since Dream On.
To each his own. Toys in the Attic, Rocks, Get A Grip all came out after Dream On.
Aerosmith is definitely Rock-n-Roll. Unfortunately, they've defined themselves by putting out way too many ballads.
Another band, to a far, far lesser extent, that did that was Extreme. I followed them because I'm a guitar nut (When I've got em') and Nuno Bettencourt is one of my all time favs. They put out two acoustic songs that had some commercial success, More Than Words and Wholehearted. I believe that's about the only two acoustic songs in their entire catalog. Otherwise, they rock hard. Like me.
