Most Aerosmith fans I know will loath at the fact that their biggest hit 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing' was written by Diane Warren - a songwriter who has written predominantly ballads for artists mainly in the pop/soul & country arena. But I have another perspective on the matter.
If you are judging the song from a 'band' standpoint, then you probably will never fully appreciate the song. Fans of rock know the exciting music they are known for, and some would rather push the song to one side - for every reason pertaining to ..."it's just not Aerosmith."
But when you listen to it form a songwriter's point of you, you know that it's quite simply a great love song which the band have performed brilliantly.
Here's the video to a song that won a Grammy Award, went to number one in the USA and stayed in the top 5 of the singles chart all over Europe for weeks on end.
