Aerosmith: The 70's era albums, which is your favourite?

[Turbine Freight]

Get Your Wings.

[ozzy85]

The first song I thought of was Same Old Song And Dance. The slide guitar and how the song swings is awesome. That, and Seasons Of Wither. I'd cherry pick a couple of lesser played songs from Toys. Uncle Salty...

Uncle Salty easily makes my Aerosmith top ten, heck, maybe top 5.

No More No More.. is my favorite on Toys.

It’s got one of my fav opening lines.

 

“Blood stains the ivories on my daddy’s baby grand;

I ain’t seen the daylight since the start of this band!”

[Rutlefan]

Toss up b/t Rocks and Get Your Wings; two of my all-time favorites by anyone. Went with Rocks this time. Love Toys too of course. Spaced, Seasons of Wither, Uncle Salty, Sweet Emotion, Combination, Lick and a Promise. An amazing three album run.

13-13. I think some people might have changed their votes?

[treeduck]

Rocks. It's darker, heavier, and has more solos from Brad Whitford. Plus, half the songs from Toys are overplayed.

Yeah but "overplayed" only affects you if you allow it, and I don't.

 

Right, when you're in control of what you're listening to, like when you're playing your CDs or playlists. But songs like Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion aren't just songs off the album, they're part of pop culture, and you'll find them popping up in movie soundtracks and TV commercials and being remade by Run-DMC, and all of a sudden they're everywhere.

That's true, but in my case I never listen to a song in a film or TV show the way I usually listen to them. It's difficult to explain, it's just different, It's a mind thing that I've learned to do maybe or I just do by accident. Anyway this kind of thing rarely spoils songs for me. If I do get sick of something though I just give it a rest for a few years or a decade and that seems to cure it.

 

I am the same.

 

Thats why I never tire of Don't Stop Believing or Dust In The Wind.

Another thing a lot of people do which doesn't help is when they get an album they play it to death, and then complain later that it's played out.

Makes me think of playing it in my Dodge Dart back then. Windows down. It's a sunny day outside my window...

Get Your Wings

[Syrinx]

What a great run of albums! Aerosmith in their heyday were one of the greatest rock bands ever! Rocks is one of my favourite albums ever - not just Aerosmith Edited February 25, 2019 by Syrinx

[The Cat 3]

By the way "Night in the Ruts" is a phenomenal record!

 

A close third for me to "Toys in the Attic" & "Rocks".

 

Just sayin'

 

;)

[Fridge]

Unfortunately, this poll is limited to the 70s so classics like " "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" are excluded,

 

Shurely shome mishtake? hic!

Right in the Nuts, I mean Night in the Ruts is undeservedly underrated. It's excellent from start to finish.

I LOVE RNight in the NRuts. Actually, I also love Rock in a Hard Place and Done With Mirrors as well.

[ClashWho]

The first five albums are all really good. Rocks is my favorite.

[Cyclonus X-1]

Rocks is my favorite, but only by a bit over Toys. Night in the Ruts is great too. I like all of these albums except for the debut.

I feel like this about Opeth and to an extent Mastodon.

 

When I hear them now I am like YAAAAWN but there is a reason why for about four years I played almost nothing else, so whose fault is that?!

[Mithrandir]

Toys for me.

[OldRUSHfan]

Rocks. It's darker, heavier, and has more solos from Brad Whitford. Plus, half the songs from Toys are overplayed.

 

Your opinion, I LOVE 'Toys'! and while Nobody's Fault is my favorite Aerosmith tune, Testament did it on their second album. pretty good version, too! More HARD of course...The day I bought Metallica, "Master Of Puppets" and Megadeth "Peace Sells" I picked Testament to be my third purchase of Thrash Metal...

[IbanezJem]

Rocks, Toys, then Wings. Combination and Sick as A Dog probably my two favourite Aerosmith numbers.

[Babycat]

Rocks.

[LeaveMyThingAlone]

Toys in the Attic Definitely. I love Rocks too, but Toys has so much more creativity and is more interesting as a whole. Rocks is just very heavy and in your face but songs like Uncle Salty and No More No More along with the usual rockers make Toys one of the best rock albums ever

[Rushman14]

Very close between Toys and Rocks but Toys was my first Aerosmith album when I was 13, so....

The other two in my top 3 Aerosmith albums. Usually bands begin to really suck when they reach the depths of addiction. I don't know why these albums hold together so well for me. The only other band I can think of right offhand that pulled this off was Thin Lizzy. Renegade and Thunder And Lightning rocked balls.
