You Ain't No Steven Tyler

You Ain't No Picasso: "This is truly an artifact of the 'Guitar Hero Effect.' Very few eleven year olds have been into early Aerosmith like they are now. It is somewhat amazing. Here we see the bad clothes styles continue, but if this is a jumping off point for kids, they could do a lot worse…..I guess?"

Yes. Very few eleven-year-olds are ever into Aerosmith. In fact, to be eleven and into Aerosmith, particularly their earlier stuff, would undoubtedly leave an individual marked for life and unable to appreciate their newer music, with the exception of Honkin' on Bobo which was openly pronounced to be a retro back-to-our-roots album.

[Full disclosure: when I was eleven, Aerosmith was still relevant to the MTV generation.]
