It's a great place to start for new Aerosmith fans looking to hear their older material. I love Dream On, Sweet Emotion, Back in the Saddle and their version of Come Together. It has (IMO) the best parts of their earlier albums. I have a lot of the albums that these songs came off of, but I still reach for this one. I was 10 years old when this came out and it was my first taste of Aerosmith. Pure brilliance!!! A must have with the likes of "Back In Black", "Zoso", and "Sgt. I'm not having much luck with my smileys tonight am I? ! There ya go. To be honest, the damn voice grates after (quite a short) while. I guess some of their albums are probably worth checking out, but not exactly high on my list of musical priorities. Also, were the heck is 'Train Kept A Rollin?' As of August 1996, this album has sold an amazing 9x Platinum. I can't believe 'Remember (Walking in the Sand)' was put on instead of 'No Surprise', 'Chaquita' or 'Three Mile Smile/Reefer Headed Woman' from Night in the Ruts. The version of 'Sweet Emotion' on this CD is a shortened radio version that is missing the cool introduction. Is this the original version of 'Sweet Emotion? No. If you're looking to pick up most of smith's good stuff, grab this one, 'Gems' 'Big Ones', and 'Nine Lives' and you should be set. Surely they could've pulled more than one song each from the debut, and two each from Toys and Rocks! Did we need the last two tracks here at all, even though 'Come Together' is now an FM radio mainstay? 'Remember?' Ugh! And why did they put on radio-edits of some of these songs, like 'Same Old Song and Dance,' with altered lyrics? Is this the original version of 'Sweet Emotion?' The '91 version was the first one I ever heard.Īll their best from the 70's what fan does'nt own this one.Īerosmith doesn't rank as one of my favorite bands, but they do have some good songs.This is the first Aerosmith tape I ever owned,and I still listen to it on occasion today. My main gripe here is the skimpy selection. This is the same red package who is titled 'AEROSMITH's GREATEST HITS 1973-1988'. The seven added tracks are : MAMA KIN, SEASONS OF WHITER, BIG TEN INCH RECORDS, LIGHTNING STRIKES, CHIP WAY THE STONE, SWEET EMOTION(1991 Remix) and ONE WAY STREET(LIVE). You really want AEROSMITH best then you'd better buy the 1997 remastered version (SBM) : it features 17 tracks and a great sounds. Who on earth came up with the idea of putting REMEMBER with this great collection of songs? I would still reccomend bying either TOYS or ROCKS. No need for this if you already own the albums. Long as they are at least 4 songs in length.Įxisting comments about this CD From: Bisho Please only submit officialĬD releases no bootlegs or cassette-only or LP-only releases.ĮPs and CD-singles from Aerosmith are also welcome to be added, as Even if it is an obscure greatest-hits or liveĬompilation CD, we want to add it to the site.
