Editorial Review:
Tracks include: "Dream On", "Mama Kin", "Same Old Song And Dance", "Seasons Of Wither", "Sweet Emotion", "Walk This Way", "Big Ten-inch Record", "Last Child", "Back In The Saddle", "Draw The Line", "Kings And Queens", "Come Together", "Remember" (Walking In The Sand), "Lighting Strikes", "Chip Away The Stone", "Sweet Emotion" (1991 Thoener Remix), "One Way Street" (live), "The Train Kept A Rollin", "Kings And Queens", "Sweet Emotion", "Dream On", "Mama Kin", "Three Mile Smile / reerer Head Woman", "Lord Of The Things", "Major Barbara".
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Reasonable collection
I'm not a HUGE Aerosmith fan. Their best songs are here, but not all of these songs should be on a best-of. A bigger fan would give this a better rating, probably.
Rating: - A good look at the band in the seventies
As other reviewers, I would say that some songs are missing (a common problem with any greatest hits) Mama Kin is a good example, but one must admit that the essential is there. This is a good introduction to the band in the seventies, if you like it, go and get all their cd's !
A pretty good "greatest hits"
PS Why is everybody's review is for the audio cassette and only a few for the cd ? I wrote my review where there were more reviews and that was in the audio cassette category. ... Read More
Rating:  - Just What I Wanted
Even though this Aerosmith collection is not comprehensive, I like it, as it has Aerosmith's 70's hits, which in my opinion is the best Aerosmith. I don't think their 80's and beyond work was as good as their 70's output. For me, this works, for someone looking for a more career-spanning disc, look to the other compilations.
Rating: - Clasico de clásicos!!
Aerosmith es de lo mejor... Esta recopilación trae lo mejor de la primera etapa de esta banda.
Rating: - Dollars and (common) cents.
I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song).
There are $4 worth of really great, classic rock songs on here. The timeless songs Aerosmith wrote while messed up on drugs: Dream On, Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way and Kings And Queens should be in every great music collection. The rest of the songs on here are garbage (album filler).
iTunes and Aerosmith hooked up, so it appears at first that all the Aerosmith ... Read More
