Today, Activision announced that an Aerosmith-themed^* edition of Guitar Hero, the cleverly titled Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, would be available in stores come June. The press release heralding the game's launch contained a baffling quote from Steven Tyler, who said: "Any band that can go from 'Don't Want to Miss A Thing' (Aerosmith's #1 smash hit) to the ass-kicking 'Sweet Emotion' to the cheekiness of 'Love in an Elevator,' to the classic ballad 'Dream On' shows why Activision chose us to headline this game based on the diversity of the Aerosmith catalog. Not only is songwriting a bitch, but then it goes and has puppies." Odd dog-related metaphors aside, what is up, Mr. Tyler, with naming a freaking Diane Warren track before anything else from your catalog? Clearly you need some help picking the right songs for your game, so after the jump, I've selected five songs that are definitely ripe for inclusion. (And no, "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" aren't on there because we pretty much can figure that the songs you trot out for every TV appearance will be front-and-center, probably in multiple versions.)
