(7,028 posts)The 80s killed a lot of great bands. They had to struggle to get it back. Like Aerosmith. Their first four albums are the best any American band ever recorded. They've had good moments on a few albums since, but nothing rock solid from start to finish like those four albums. Nothing compares.
