Nothing from Done with Mirrors? That was the comeback album after their breakup, and it is often neglected. It has some solid tracks on it. It has a bit of a raw sound to it, because the producer (can’t remember his name right now, he worked some with Van Halen I think) would record their run-throughs and several made their way onto the album. At the least, “My Fist Your Face” needs a look.

“Fever” is one of my favorite Aeromith as well as Garth Brooks songs, the contrast is obvious, but the intensity is the same. “Walk this Way” with Run DMC is also one of my favorites – it certainly changed Aerosmith’s career at that time.

Great choices!

Both Foreigner and Journey already have iTunes Essentials lists *in* the iTunes store. So does ZZ Top.

Fantastic list!! Only song missing for me is Train Kept A Rollin’. Now I’ll probably end up listening to Aerosmith all evening at work!

Steven Tyler has certainly been rocking fans for many, many years now and who wouldn’t want to have some of the bands better hits in their collection. Sweet Emotion has always been one of those hits that I love from Aerosmith… of course I have most of them! Thanks for the awesome post and I’m glad to see you back on the posting wagon.

Randy, good list and an awesome band to continue with. What’s next? Perhaps Foreigner or Journey?

OMG, I just opened up iTunes and can’t believe I have no Aerosmith in my library. I have cassetes, albums and even some 8-tracks somewhere. TIme to start loading it up I guess.

I spent hours listening to Toys in the Attic, Rocks and their first album as a kid. I would have put the title song from “Toys in the Attic” in there as well for sure, on that same album “Round and Round” is a classic and later covered by others. From the first album: “Mama Kin”and and their cover of “Walkin’ the Dog” just rocks.

Oh damn you Randy, now I’ll spend the next hour loading iTunes up with Aerosmith.

Cheers,
Ken

I just can’t listen to “Don’t want to Miss a Thing” without thinking of that special someone…
