Let's keep the hate train rolling: other things I hate: AC/DC. Fuck their snotty little shtick.
I never much liked Aerosmith, growing up assaulted by their various 90's Alicia Silverstone-featuring videos - they always seemed like deeply uncool, lecherous old fools. 45 year-old men shouldn't be putting videos of their teenage daughters in leather pants on TV. No excuses.
I assumed they used to be better, and that's where it gets all double edged, all AC and DC: the riffs are solid, the pacing brisk, the bass wiry and spry // the attitude is cringe-inducingly juvenile, full of weakass double entendres (Uncle Salty, Adam's Apple, Big Ten Inch Record, and those are just the song titles). Musically, it's rock and roll, worthy of big ups, brimming with energy, but its so profoundly uncool, so prematurely lecherous, that it's pretty tough to actually enjoy 3/5
