Man there was a small window when I LOVED Aerosmith, when Janie's Got a Gun and Love in an Elevator got heavy MT/radio airplay. I wasn't in to classic rock at that point so wasn't aware they had a much more extensive history. When I did, I tried to backtrack but couldn't get in to their older stuff. Then I realized their late 80s/early 90s stuff blew, so they ultimately had nothing worth listening to.

Except Dream On. I especially enjoy the Last Action Hero orchestral version.

It mostly is in my book, but sometimes I think Movin Out is a better song. They're kind of 1 and 1.1.

Of the songs on the list K&Q is the only one that would make my top 7.

Kings and Queens
Moving Out
SOS (Too Bad)
Walking the Dog

Nobody's Fault
Train Kept a Rollin
Cheesecake

The four from Pump plus Livin' On The Edge.

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2018, 05:16:50 AM »

Kings & Queens, Dream On, What it Takes, Amazing, Eat The Rich,

The only top 3 Aerosmith song (to me anyway) that's missing is Spaced.

Kings And Queens
Think About It
Lord Of The Thighs
SOS (Too Bad)
Darkness
Toys In The Attic
My Fist Your Face

I only selected four: Dream On, Back in the Saddle, Kings & Queens and Toys in the Attic. Needless to say, I'm not a huge Aerosmith fan, and I think pretty much everything they did starting with Permanent Vacation was awful ("Rag Doll" and "The Other Side" are a couple of the worst songs I've ever heard). "Cryin'" is ok, and I definitely would have chosen "Let the Music Do the Talking" and "Train Kept a Rollin'" if they had been an option.

Dude... that is a quality list right there. Put in "Seasons of Wither" for "Train..." and I'm all in.

I think the thing lost on most people about Aerosmith is that - even in the drug years - their albums are WILDLY consistent. Not that they don't have bad songs, they do, but other than maybe Draw The Line and Just Push Play, their albums are NOT just "the two singles and a ton of filler".

Podaar · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2018, 12:05:48 PM »

I guess I'm old school

Last Child
Dream On
Walk This Way
Same Old Song and Dance
Sweet Emotion
Back in the Saddle
Toys in the Attic

KevShmev · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2018, 08:41:13 PM »

Good to see the votes spread out nicely.

I get why old school fans didn't like their material from 1987 on, but that material is what introduced me to Aerosmith, so I still dig a lot of it for that reason (the hits from Permanent Vacation and Pump).

King Postwhore · « **Reply #20 on:** December 12, 2018, 08:45:59 PM »

My running joke about Areosmith is they were better on drugs.

KevShmev · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2018, 08:48:28 PM »

I am pretty sure that can be said for most rock bands that made music in the 70's.

Damn, that's tough.

LOVE Last Child!
WTW
Love the drums in What It Takes
Rag Doll was one of my first rock songs. I was big into rap at the time. The groove attracted me.
Sweet Emotion
LIAE
Love the main riff in Eat The Rich

I'm surprised Jaded got a vote.

Not me, I love Jaded. It just missed getting one of my votes.

Megadeth is only better if the listener is on drugs!

Living On The Edge is probably my favorite Aerosmith song. I'm not a huge fan of too much of their catalog, but that song (and the title track of Get A Grip) are amazing. Also, it's not a genre I'm usually into, but Steven Tyler's recent "country" album was pretty good as well.
