Aerosmith

Aerosmith is a hard rock band established in the seventies. Originally, they had a more blues rock style, but as times changed in the eighties they adopted a more metal style. This brought criticism amongst fans. Regardless many of their hits have become classic rock staples. They are noted for their cover of The Beatles song Come Together. They helped pioneer rap-rock through a collaboration with Run-DMC on a remix of their hit Walk This Way, which already had a rap-like delivery. This version was successful and contributed to the eventual induction of Run-DMC into the actual Hall of Fame, which was criticized due to the fact that Run-DMC is a rap group and not rock. Aerosmith has had numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. Their suggestive Big Ten Inch Record was an example of the rockabilly revival which had been popularized in the eighties by Stray Cats. Aerosmith was a part of the 2001 Super Bowl halftime show. Weird Al Yankovic parodied Aerosmith's hit Livin' on the Edge with his song Livin' in the Fridge.
