1973 - Dream On - First mainstream power ballad of rock history.
1974 - Same Old Song and Dance - Catchy timeless tune.
1975 - Walk This Way - The 50% basis of Rap Metal.
1975 - Sweet Emotion -
You be the judge.
1987 - Rag Doll, Dude (looks like a Lady) and Angel, from
Permanent Vacation
(5x Platinum, Five million copies sold in USA alone)
1988 - Love in an Elevator, Janie's Got a Gun, The Other Side and What It Takes from
Pump
(7x Platinum in USA alone)
1993 - Eat The Rich, Livin' on The Edge, Shut Up and Dance, Cryin', Crazy and Amazing, the latest 3 had
iconic music videos.
All from Get a Grip, arguably the most accomplished work of the band after 20 years considering the charts.
From Big Ones (1994 Greatest Hits album) on, most of people were familiar with Aerosmith.
Nine Lives (1997), that one that has Falling in Love, Hole in My Soul and Pink, was the last CD I bought.
The live album A Little South Of Sanity (1998 ) has awesome live renditions of most of the classics.
Sweet Emotion's version
OBLITERATES.
Don't care about what comes next, not even that song that,
in Yahtzee's words,
"everyone seems to be faintly embarrassed of admit is kind of alright".
Name the megahits of Bob Seger if you will,
excluding 1973's Turn The Page, which Metallica took to stardom in 1998.
