Aerosmith Fan Club

Amazon.com

Even before their second fling with the pop mainstream, Aerosmith were one of Top 40’s favorite hard-rock bands, so ubiquitous–and so funky–that Run-D.M.C. were vociferous fans. Their ’70s output included at least three classic albums (Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic, and Rocks). This disc collects unstoppable singles into a horny, howling little piece of archaeology that makes even weak links like “Kings and Queens” sound great. And the truly great stuff here–”Sweet Emotion,” “Last Child,” “Dream On”–runs the gamut of style and feeling from swaggering freak-flag-flying to power-ballad roots that display a genuine ache. Your Aerosmith collection shouldn’t end here, but this red-and-white bomb is a great place to start. –Rickey Wright

From Booklist
The members of Aerosmith may be tired of being compared to the Rolling Stones, but the bands are superficially quite similar, and musically the Stones certainly influenced Aerosmith. Heck, the principal members even resemble one another. But Aerosmith is distinctly American, a product of 1970s rock stadium shows and burgeoning excess, whereas the Stones started out–lo, these many years ago–as a blues band. Huxley’s entertaining group bio picks up the Aerosmith story after its members had already reached and for the most part conquered puberty.
