He has been called the "Demon of Screamin'" due to his high screams and his powerful wide vocal range.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Kate|last=Springer|url = https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/01/23/critics-rip-steven-tyler-over-national-anthem-rendition/ |magazine = Time |date = January 23, 2012 |title = Critics Rip Steven Tyler Over National Anthem Rendition |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151019015917/http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/01/23/critics-rip-steven-tyler-over-national-anthem-rendition/ |archive-date = October 19, 2015 |df = mdy-all }}</ref> He is also known for his on-stage acrobatics. During live performances, Tyler is known for dressing in colorful, sometimes [[androgynous]] outfits and makeup with his trademark scarves hanging from his microphone stand. In the 1970s, Tyler rose to prominence as the lead singer of Aerosmith, which released such hard rock albums as ''[[Toys in the Attic (album)|Toys in the Attic]]'' and ''[[Rocks (Aerosmith album)|Rocks]]'', along with a string of hit singles, including "[[Dream On (Aerosmith song)|Dream On]]", "[[Sweet Emotion]]" and "[[Walk This Way]]". By the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tyler had a heavy drug and alcohol addiction and the band's popularity waned. In 1986, Tyler completed drug rehabilitation and Aerosmith rose to prominence again when Tyler and Joe Perry joined [[Run-DMC]] for a re-make of "Walk This Way", which became a Top 5 hit. Aerosmith subsequently launched a comeback with the multi-platinum albums ''[[Permanent Vacation (Aerosmith album)|Permanent Vacation]]'', ''[[Pump (album)|Pump]]'', ''[[Get a Grip]]'' and ''[[Nine Lives (Aerosmith album)|Nine Lives]]'', which produced a combined thirteen Top 40 singles and won the band numerous awards. In 2016, he released his debut solo album, ''[[We're All Somebody from Somewhere]]'', a [[country rock]] album that included the single "[[Love Is Your Name]]". Tyler is included in ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s list of 100 greatest singers.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = 100 Greatest Singers of All Time |date = December 3, 2010 |url = https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-19691231 |magazine = Rolling Stone |access-date = April 21, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120429022814/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-19691231 |archive-date = April 29, 2012 |df = mdy-all }}</ref> In 2001, he was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] with Aerosmith, In 2013, Tyler and his songwriting partner [[Joe Perry (musician)|Joe Perry]] received the [[American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers|ASCAP]] Founders Award and were inducted into the [[Songwriters Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web |title = Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Diplo and Other Top Names in Music Honored at 30th Annual ASCAP Pop Music Awards |url = http://www.ascap.com/press/2013/0417-steven-tyler-joe-perry-diplo-and-other-top-names-in-music-honored.aspx |publisher = [[American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers|ASCAP]] |access-date = July 30, 2013 |date = April 17, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130826175201/http://www.ascap.com/press/2013/0417-steven-tyler-joe-perry-diplo-and-other-top-names-in-music-honored.aspx |archive-date = August 26, 2013 |df = mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title = Aerosmith duo Steven Tyler and Joe Perry join Hall of Fame |url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22902463 |work = BBC News |access-date = July 30, 2013 |date = June 14, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130618064506/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-22902463 |archive-date = June 18, 2013 |df = mdy-all }}</ref>
