 * Comments
 * Whole first para is fascinating but it's all about their discog, not their awards. Considering they've got 31 awards per this list, the lead should be much better focused.
 * Funny, never struck me before but "Overall, Aerosmith has received 31 awards from 62 nominations." is a load of old bollocks presumably since Aerosmith have been nominated for hundreds of awards, right? Did we ever strike hard and say what is the strict criteria for inclusion here?  All these award FLCs seem to have arbitrary inclusion tactics employed...  Gary, I trust you, what do you think?


 * I like to focus on their discography to give a background of when they released albums, what albums they released, etc. And then in the second paragraph, talk about some of the awards there. If an award has an article then I consider it notable. I think I've got all of the awards presented by notable awards ceremonies listed here, but if you can point me to some more then I'll be glad to check them out. I don't think Aerosmith received as many awards from smaller awards ceremonies, because back in their day, there weren't as many. Nowadays, every major music magazine publication seems to have their own awards to hand out. Gary King ( talk ) 21:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * The Academy Award nomination wasn't for Aerosmith. It is a songwriters award, and Diane Warren wrote that song, Aerosmith performed the track on the ceremony, but the nominee was Diane.
 * for the rest of the list, congratulations, very good job. Jaespinoza (talk) 14:45, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
