Talk:Aerosmith

message: I removed the sentence that said:
:Aerosmith commenced recording a new album on Armed Forces Day 2006. 
While the cited source does indeed say that the band began recording a new album on "Armed Forces Day 1986", that's doubly uninformative. Armed Forces Day is not a major event in the United States, and I suspect that many Americans don't even know what month it falls in. None of the band members appear to have been military veterans, and their closest connection to any armed forces seems to be that their fan base is called the Blue Army. And besides that, it's not even clear what album is being referred to; the next album mentioned that the band released was a compilation album consisting mostly of previously released material (Devil's Got a New Disguise: The Very Best of Aerosmith). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:16, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

message: The new Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest songs clearly states Dream On was the band's "breakthrough hit" (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-songs-of-all-time-1224767/david-bowie-changes-2-1225138/).  Why does this article's lead not convey that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RationalAnalysis (talk • contribs) 22:19, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

message: When this article went through GA review, I believe these were the musical genres that were settled upon in the infobox: hard rock, blues rock, heavy metal. These are all sourced within the article.
Over the past four months, there's been a lot of good-faith editing, deletion, and restoring of additional musical genres, including genres as diverse as alternative rock to rhythm and blues, with dubious sourcing. There are currently nine genres in the list.
Infobox guidelines recommends two to four in the list.
I propose reverting back to the three genres. Let's stick to what is sourced and the band is primarily known for. Let's not using the genre list to exhaustively describe all of the genres of music that some of their songs may have aligned with.
Also, per MOS:MUSICCAPS, the vast majority of genres are not proper nouns. The genres in the list should be lowercase, except that the first word in the list should be capitalized. Davidwbaker (talk) 18:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
