The last good Aerosmith song was "Let the Music Do the Talking". Everything else is pop fluff.

It always comes down to the dollars.(Rupees?) You listed a few in there I had forgotten about.

The Color of Money when Eddie first meets Carmen.

He seems pleasant enough, and his Heroin Diaries book was very compelling.

You make a good point. While Dokken had a handful of songs that got decent rotation on MTV, they didn't have the same last impact as Home Sweet Home or Kickstart My Heart.
