Aerosmith

Aerosmith

Aerosmith was formed in the early 1970s and, despite dips in popularity and battles with drug addiction, have survived to the present day. Perhaps because singer Steven Tyler shares some physical resemblance with Mick Jagger, Aerosmith have at times, during their earlier years, been cast as Rolling Stones wannabes. However, their music, which has developed into a unique sound over the years, does not sound much like that of The Rolling Stones, and the accusation has been mostly dismissed.

1975's Toys In The Attic was the first major hit for the band, including the singles "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way". Guitarist Joe Perry left the band in 1979, but rejoined in 1984. The album Pump was released in 1987, featuring classics like "Janie's Got a Gun" and "Love in an Elevator". The 1990s saw Aerosmith become balladeers with the release of Get a Grip, which featured the singles "Cryin'", "Crazy" and "Amazing". They continued in similar style with "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" for the Armageddon soundtrack, a number 1 hit for the band. Their last studio album, the blues based Honkin' on Bobo, was released in 2004.
