sadly, they've done '70s twice this week (as well as '65), so i suspect they're either '80s today or a theme of some sort.  The stars are aligned against us, I tells ya!

WOS to this Aerosmith power ballad. Is this one of the Diane Warren-penned songs they were churning out in the 90s?

ETA: Nope, this was a co-write with Desmond Child. Close, but not *quite* as odious. Guess she came later.

amazingly, Warren wasn't involved; Tyler & Perry co-wrote with Desmond Chhild, which is almost as bad.

Was it "What It Takes"?  I'll be dissenting with the general opinion then.  Pump is one of the few Aerosmith albums I've found enjoyable throughout, though I probably can do without "Love in and Elevator" for the rest of my days.

Y'know, I could have sworn that Warren wrote or cowrote a number of songs with Tyler and Perry for Aerosmith's 90s albums, but I just went thru every album of theirs from Pump onward, and while they did do a whole lot of co-writes (with the likes of Child, Glen Ballard, Mark Hudson, and numerous others) I didn't see Diane Warren's name anywhere. Looking at the list posted in her Wikipedia bio, it shows just two songs, one from a movie soundtrack (I Don't Want To Miss a Thing) and one that was an added track to a greatest hits comp (Devil's Got a New Disguise) so maybe they didn't sleep with that demon quite as much as we thought.

Maybe not, but "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing" is plenty to answer for.  That one is pure evil.  *shudder*

BOS for Soho, whose bassist I believe is referred to as simply "Timothy", short for Timothy London.

And I am unaware of any version that isn't a riff on "How Soon Is Now".

EDIT: I had no idea this act was so prolific - about six original albums. Plus a Bow Wow Wow connection.  I'll have to listen to them some more.
