Can we use this thread to talk about Steven Tyler's fucked up toes?

I mean I wasn't dismissing a whole movement of music as dumb and shitty. I was praising Aerosmith. Well, late 80s/early 90s Aerosmith.

More fucked up than releasing an album called Honkin' on Bobo?

Songs that impacted on rock radio and made Billboard's 1994 year end singles list:

John Mellencamp, Wild Night
Collective Soul, Shine
Crash Test Dummies, Mmm Mmm Mmm
Meatloaf, I'd Do Anything for Love
10,000 Maniacs, Because the Night
Cranberries, Linger
Gin Blossoms, Found Out About You

Bruce Springsteen, Streets of Philedelphia
Aerosmith, Crazy
Aerosmith, Amazing

Tom Petty, Mary Jane's Last Dance
Bon Jovi, Always

Some other rock radio #1's from that same year:
Pincushion, ZZ Top
Deuces are Wild, Aerosmith

Van Halen's Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do missed the list be mere weeks. Shucks.
All songs that I dearly loved at the time. Tremendously LOVED at the time. And three of those are still in fairly heavy rotation.
Lingers a very pretty song, and Shine does have a bitching guitar solo that just comes out of nowhere.
