Best rockers on stage, even compared to Zeppelin (though Zeppelin comes in at a close second). From their first album, Aerosmith, released in 1973, their signature rock ballad, Dream On. It’s obviously not from the 70s. They’re older, and Tyler isn’t as energetic, but it’s still damned good stuff:
Rockin Walk This Way (from Toys in the Attic, 1975):
And Sweet Emotion (also from Toys in the Attic):
Now they’re doing theme songs for movies. Who’d'a thunk? Aerosmith was about as far from respectable back then as it got–then, who expected Steve Tyler to become a Republican? Who expected me to become a Republican?
