    They took drugs their whole career. Speed in the early days.

    Well I didn't start listening to music in 97 but I can definitely hear bands like Sonic Youth , Jesus and Mary Chain and even U2 in Radioheads music .. I know a lot of RH fans accuse other bands of copying their sound but pretty much everyone is influenced by someone .

    Wow, the only thing worse than current hipsters are historical hipsters.

    I was into U2 until I heard the second verse of "I Will Follow" on Boy. :rolleyes:

    Sometimes, the masses are right- Who's Next is the best Who album, Rumours is the best Fleetwood Mac album, etc. Sometimes, they're not. Sgt. Pepper is not the best Beatles album, nor is Led Zeppelin IV the best Zeppelin album. IMHO. Lyrically, Achtung is the best they've ever done, and that comes straight from Paul Hewson himself. Plus, I feel it's the most important because, without it, it's very possible that U2 would have been stuck in their 80s sound and would have suffered the fate of many 70s and 80s groups who could not adjust to the 90s. That they reinvented their sound and still made a kick-a** CD allowed them to maintain popularity in the 90s and beyond. Again, just my opinion.

    Not hipster breh, they just fell out of favor with me after the Joshua Tree. Never liked the direction or the music they put out after that. Joshua Tree is still a top 10 album for me though.

    "Aerosmith--girl rock"?
    Please explain? "Mama kin", "lord of the thighs", "seasons of wither", "train kept a Rollin", "sweet emotion", "no more no more", "back in the saddle", "rats in the cellar", "sick as a dog", "draw the line", and on and on......"girl rock"?

    You're a fan of them, awesome. I have no qualms with that. I'm not, it sounds like elevator rock to me. No use in arguing in these threads, it's pointless. I can't believe the Beatles hate AT ALL in this thread but I'm not gonna change their minds by arguing with them on the internet. Kinda like politics, it's pointless bruh.

    Not trying to change your opinion as like you said it's useless.
    Just wanted some clarification on why you describe it as "girl rock"?

    One of my X girls would play nothing but Aerosmith every single day. Even my wife loves them and plays them constantly, I guess that's why. :/

    Few are going to argue with you on that point. Songs like Viva Las Vegas were awesome, but only because they were so damn cheesy.

    But this, oh yes, definitely, he was a God. 1954, Christ, how he terrified them.

    let me be more specific.
    Drugs=weed and LSD

    Big difference writing music on weed & LSD as opposed to speed.

    Those are all prior to them getting clean and making their comeback . Like two different bands to me and the new aerosmith did become more of a chick band

    Not the band so much, but I don't understand extreme tool fans.

    "I'm smarter than you because I listen to tool"

    While they fail out of high school and continue waiting tables because they can't pass a piss test.

    The bands ok, but why put them on the same level as a great band, like Radiohead?
