What's your favorite Aerosmith album. I love Toys in the Attic and Rocks. But my favorite I think is Done with Mirrors. No hits and the real comeback album. They had just got back together and sounded great. Give me 3. Don't need a huge list.

1 Done with Mirrors
2 Toys in the Attic
3 Rocks

Toys in the Attic
Get Your Wings
Rocks

Done with Mirrors is the last album I liked. I really do not like anything after that. At all.

Saw them at the fairgrounds in ‘85 I think and it was great. Saw them at the coliseum around ‘88, and it was not.

After Done with Mirrors they were officially clean. Plus had writers come in to write Permanent Vacation and after. Get your wings is a great one too.

Yeah, I always said drugged out Aerosmith was way better than recovering Aerosmith.

Same as Guns n Rose's lol.

Pump and Get A Grip...only because they are the only two albums I ever owned by them even though they have better songs earlier on.

Ha! Yea he doesn't want to let go of his youth obviously.

Not saying it's their best, but I think Nine Lives is an overlooked gem in the Aerosmith catalog.

I would reverse the order of your three, but I agree with the selections..

The pre-MTV albums. I wasn't real fond of Draw the Line, but "Kings and Queens" is a kick ass track.

The one and only time I ever got to see Arrowsmith in concert was at the Roundhouse. After a couple of encores, they turned on the house lights. They hadn't done Dream On. I just stood there, stunned, and refused to move. I wasn't leaving until I heard my anthem.

Then the house lights went out. There was a white pyramid on stage, and the keyboard music started. The pyramid slowly raised and tilted to the side to reveal Steven Tyler at a white piano.

It was the single most spectacular moment I've ever experienced related to music.

We went to a Bob Dylan concert about two years ago at TPAC in Nashville. Still the best concert acoustically I have ever heard, crystal clear.
Steven Tyler sat next to my wife. He never spoke until Dylan took his break then he talked to everyone around him, and seemed completely sober.
Of course my wife the selfie queen got one of those with him.
Neither of us has particularly cared for Aerosmith. I can appreciate their music more these days.

It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history.

It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives.

We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision - as a band of brothers - to retire from the touring stage.

We are grateful beyond words for everyone who was pumped to get on the road with us one last time. Grateful to our expert crew, our incredible team and the thousands of talented people who’ve made our historic runs possible. A final thank you to you - the best fans on planet Earth. Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true.

The Rock and Roll "old guard" is slowly peeling off, sadly.

 

[vols 30]

Saw them back in the early 90's in Seattle. Still one of the best concerts ever. They could put on a great show back in the day

 

[norrislakevol]

Saw them in Thompson Bowling in the fall of '98. At one point during the show, Steven Tyler went back stage briefly and returned wearing a Tennessee jersey with a #1 on it. He shouts to the crowd "Guess who's number 1??!!" Got a big cheer.

 

[peaygolf]

Seen them 5 times....

2x with Kiss
Headliner with G&R

Steven Tyler is a great lead man! Great shows.

When I was 12, I got Get a Grip and loved it so much, my next album purchase was Aerosmith Greatest Hits. I did not know everything on the album was gonna be their old stuff and that it would sound so different. I was a little bewildered the first time I went thru it. The second time thru it, I realized I liked classic rock more than the contemporary stuff.

Here they are, 30 years later and of course all good things come to an end.
