The fact is that Aerosmith did exactly what every other generic southern-rock band in the 70's did, sharing the same influences, and very few people cite them as a major influence.
#1 - Aerosmith is about as far removed from Southern Rock as any band I can think of. The fact that you keep referring to them that way really waters down your opinion of the band.

#2 - Tons of rockers from the mid to late 70s and after cite Aerosmith as influences.
