AEROSMITH'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY WALK THIS WAY:
"This book is a complete tell all, tongue in cheek, kick in the pants story of the rock'n'roll life. Aerosmith and a few of their selected friends have done an excellent job of telling their story at the best AND the worst of times. Of course, I wouldn't recomend it to any small children, but to any avid aerosmith fan or even any fan of just plain good literature, get this book!" -Zowie
"It's amazing...this is a wonderful book for anyone who loves Aerosmith or anyone who loves Rock and roll. Steven, Joe, Tom, Joey, and Brad have done a great job of telling the true story of the rock and roll life style. The good and the bad. It's all there. So check it out...it's great. You should definetly buy this book." -Melissa
"After reading this book I realized just how much things aren't always what they seem. Who would have known that rising to the top in the music biz could bring so many problems along with the fame, fortune, and good times. Well now I know and I do recomend you read this book" -Jake
AEROSMITH('73)
play list: (1) make it (2) Somebody (3) Dream On (4) One Way Street (5) Mama Kin (6) Write Me (7) Movin Out (8) Walkin' The Dog
"Aerosmith's 1st release may surprise you when you first hear it. It takes a few times listening to get used to the mask Steven Tyler put on his voice. But even if it wasn't accepted by the mass public on it's first release, I think it stood the test of time rater well...espically because of their first hit single Dream On." -Zowie
"The boys went into the stuido after touring small clubs, dances, and other impromptu performances so they difentaley had material that worked. Unfortunately, it was their first studio exposure together, so it was a little nerve racking (especially noticeable in Joey and Steve's less-confidant sounds). However, underneath the obvious nervousness, Aerosmith shows exceptionally good riff-writing and chord progression and some damn catchy tunes, along with an absolute masterpiece in Dream On. Any critic should've seen the immense potential Aerosmith showed here ... I don't know why they panned it.sound"-Stan
GET YOUR WINGS ('74)
play list: (1) same old song and dance (2) Lord of the Thighs (3) Spaced (4) Woman of the World (5) S.O.S. (too bad) (6) Train Kept A Rollin' (7) Seasons of Wither (8) Pandora's Box
"Aerosmith's 2nd release still shows the change in Steven voice. It also brings forward one of the qualities in lyrics that Aerosmith would be come known for... humor. Or atleast most people see the humor in Lord of the Thighs. If not, oh well to each his own...and each should own this album (hehehe)" -Zowie
TOYS IN THE ATTIC ('75)
play list: (1)Toys in the Attic (2) Yncle Salty (3) Adam's Apple (4) Walk This Way (5) Big Ten Inch Record (6) Sweet Emotion (7) No More No More (8) Round and Round (9) You See Me Crying
"Ah, my favorite album of all time. When it came time for Aerosmith to hit it big Toys in the Attic was there to help them. My personal favorite song off this album is Uncle Salty, a blues based song about abuse. And of course the other songs off this album have passed the test of time with flying colors...who hasn't heard of Walk This Way or Sweet Emotion???" -Zowie
"Toys in the Attic is a great album! You know it's a major must have when songs from it are still being played alot 20 years later!"-Tammy

play list: (1) Back In The Saddle (2) Last Child (3) Rats In The Cellar (4) Combination (5) Sick As a Dog (6) Nobody's Fault (7) Get The Lead Out (8) Lick and a Promise (9) Home Tonight
"Yes this is considered by most as Aerosmith's greatest album, and I definetly can't blame them! Back in the Saddle has become a rock anthem, you can hear Brad Whitford pull off great lead work in Nobody's Fault, for the ballad lovers there's Home Tonight, and the whole album stays true to it's name...it Rocks!" -Zowie
"The best album ever! If you don't have this amazing piece of work then your rock collection is NOT complete! Back in the Saddle, Rats in the Cellar, and Nobody's Fault are the greatest rockers that have ever been released! Buy This Album!"-Tim
"Yes this record is the best rock album ever made! Aerosmith did a wonderful job to bring us a kick @ss collection of songs." -SavageDragon
DRAW THE LINE ('77)
play list: (1) Draw The line (2) I Wanna know Why (3) Critical Mass (4) Get It Up (5)Bright Light Fright (6)Kings and Queens (7) The hand That Feeds (8) Sight For Sore Eyes (9) Milk Cow Blues
"I think the best off of this album would be Kings and Queens or I Wanna Know Why. They both completely rock and have new feels to them. Oh and if you are a big Joe Perry fan be sure to listen to Bright light Fright...it's one of your rare chances to hear him sing lead in Aerosmith." -Zowie
"I think Draw The line was a good album, but you can also start to see their decline into the drugs. It's rockin' but not as much as Rocks." -Tim
NIGHT IN THE RUTS ('79)

"Night In The Ruts is one of my personal favorites. You can hear the story of Aerosmith in No Surprise, get a tase of the pie in cheese Cake, rock down with Bone to Bone, and hear a touching tribute to Steven's daughter in mia. Even if it was in the mist of the drug addiction and on the brink of distruction Aerosmith pulled off an amazing job on this album."-Zowie
ROCK IN A HARD PLACE ('82)

"Finally we are at Rock in A hard Place. Many people don't consider this album to be true Aerosmith but oh well, I do. I know it's starting to get pretty shakey and there really aren't those usual Aerosmith guitar solos, but I think this album accomplished something new. It's almost completely bluesy. Espically my personal favorite aerosmith song, Push Comes To Shove.So if you like the blues style rock'n'roll give it a listen."-Zowie

play list: (1)Let The Music Do The Talking (2) My Fist your Face (3) Shame on You (4) The Reason A Dog (5) Shela (6) Gypsy Boots (7)She's on fire (8) The hop (9) Darkness
"Aerosmith's comeback album but with one flook. They printed the cover backwards to look like it was in a mirror and that only succeded in confusing the fans. Hence it didn't sell well, but that doesn't mean it isn't great. The first 4 songs are excellent. And through the high resolution you can hear the starts of the next generation of Aerosmith."-Zowie
PERMANENT VACATION ('87)
play list: (1) Heart's Done Time (2) Magic Touch (3) Rag Doll (4) Simoriah (5) Dude (looks like a lady) (6) St. John (7) Hangman Jury (8) Girl Keeps Coming Apart (9) Angel (10) Permanent Vacation (11) I'm Down (12)The Movie
"Finally our boys are clean! Permanent Vacation brought on an Aerosmith sound less blues based and more up-beat...well it was the 80's. The most laughable track would have to be Dude looks like a lady...which also produced a great video. This IS a must have album." -Zowie
"Permanent Vacation first got me into Aerosmith. I just couldn't get Rag Doll out of my head! I think this album Rocks!"-Kate
"Aerosmith finally accomplished thier come back with this album, and it's great. The songs rock, the videos rock, and Aerosmith proved that they could still rock." -Tim
PUMP ('89)
play list: (1) Young Lust (2) F.I.N.E. (3.1) Going Down (3.2) Love In An Elevator (4) Monkey on my Back (5.1) Water Song (5.2) Janie's Got A Gun (6.1) Dulcimer Stomp (6.2) the Other Side (7) My Girl (8) Don't Get Mad Get Even (9.1) Hoodoo (9.2) Voodoo Medicine Man (10) What It Takes
"This album is Aerosmith getting back to the hard tongue in cheek kinda song they are known for. Song like young lust and F.i.n.e. surely speak to the groin. And who else but aerosmith would make a song called Love In An Elevator a hit? For the blues lovers we have don't get mad get even and for the ballad lovers we have what it takes. Pump is a GREAT album!"-Zowie
"Yo ... we're talking GREAT here. This album is a perfect example to stuff in anyone's face who believes Aerosmith is only a single writing band. The bass-walking boogie of Young Lust, the coolest descending chord progression in Monkey On My Back, and the totally brilliant beat changes in My Girl show that the best songs on this album aren't the
singles!"-Stan
"Pump Rocks! I have never heard a more kick @ss album. Aerosmith did a great job, espically with songs like Voodoo Med. Man and FINE (the meaning of fine is really funny too). So I think you should buy it if you haven't already"-SavageDragon
GET A GRIP ('93)
play list: (1) Intro (2) Eat The Rich (3) Get A Grip (4) Fever (5) Livin On the Edge (6) Flesh (7) Walk On Down (8) Shut Up And Dance (9)Cryin' (10) Gotta Love It (11) Crazy (12) Line Up (13) Amazing (14) Boogie Man
"Get A Grip's play list is mostly ballads, and some people thought that this ment Aerosmith went soft. But if you actaully listen to the whole album and not just the singles you will find this to be untrue. Songs like Flesh, and Get A Grip are nothing less of hard rockers. And once again if you are a big Joe Perry fan Walk On Down has J.P. lead vocals."-Zowie
"Almost a complete contrast with PUMP, I believe GAG relies too much on its singles. Although they are great the other songs sound too silly or just as fillers. Although my fave guitarist, I'm not too keen on Joe Perry's vocals as lead on Walk on Down (ok, but I like it's blues-rock feel, especially in concert).The Aerosmith album I own
that I listen to the least."-Stan
"I love Get A Grip! I think Amazing is such a sweet song and I love the video. This album does rock." -Lynn
"I was a little disapointed by hearing all the ballads on this album, but Flesh has become my favorite song. So I guess it's still a pretty good record, ballads or not."-Thomas
NINE LIVES ('97)
play list:(1) Nine Lives (2) Falling In love (is hard on the knees) (3) Hole in my soul (4) Taste of india (5) full Circle (6) Something's Gotta Give (7) Ain't that a Bitch (8) The Farm (9) Crash (10) Kiss Your Past Goodbye (11) Pink (12) Attitude Adjustment (13) Fallen Angels
"If Get A Grip disapointed you because of it's ample supply of ballads, 9 Lives will surely please your taste. Songs 1,2,6,7,8,9,10, and 12 are very hard rockers. Taste of India brings a new flavor (or spice if you will) to Aerosmith's usual sound, while Pink lays between hard rocker and ballad with a Miami accent. And of course for you guys and gals that get a kick out of the slow songs there are a few of those on the list too. It's great so check it out."-Zowie
"What a fun album. Aerosmith shows that even 25 years after their formation they can get airplay and still be a good band. I find it amazing that the boys somehow managed to do a complete 180 from both GAG and PUMP by not leaning on singles nor non-singles. Instead, they put together an album that flows smoothly from song to song, in Sgt. Pepper-esque style. Hmm ... I don't like how they ended it, what with the power ballad Fallen Angels, but otherwise great. I love PINK!"-Stan
"Nine Lives is a cd that will bring out the best in you. I love music.Any music at that matter. Sometimes music can relieve you of worries and
troubles. When I listen to Nine Lives I know that I can just listen and channel my sadness, anger, or any felling into the music that will slowly calm me down.Each song has its own indirect purpose.... wether is
be gladness... coolness... sadness... or just plain wacky !! Musicians
such as Aerosmith express themselves through their creatvity. I express
myself through music too. I wish Aerosmith the very best in what ever they choose cause they know what they are doing and they do it well."-Chris

(and anything else I may have forgotten!)once again enjoy!
A LITTLE SOUTH OF SANITY:
"I bought AEROSMITH: LIVE BOOTLEG for no reason one day and it stank. So, I was a little wary when first purchasing this album, but was I wrong! ALSOS is great in how it merges Aerosmith's old and new work together and removes confusion between them. Also, I love on Disc 2
where Steven Tyler starts to poke fun at his first album where he sings in his old, throat voice. Joe Perry is great on this album, I
love seeing how he's just another guy. He messes up the into on The Other Side and doesn't know what to do for the solo in Walk This Way.
It's great."-Stan
BIG ONES:
"Besides Hot Rocks by the Rolling Stones, BIG ONES is the only compilation CD that is ok to own. Aerosmith takes their singles and puts them together in a very concert-like way. Listening from beginning to end leaves you with the satisfication of an Aerosmith concert does (well ... you don't get to see them, but ... ) and it's perfect for jamming along."-Stan
I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING SINGLE:
"I think this song is the sweetest thing I have ever heard! It even makes me want to cry. Steven Tyler's voice is so amazing!"-Nancy
PINK VIDEO:
"This is the greatest video ever made! It is so funny! I love the way that Joey's face is on the dog, and where Steven and Joe are the same person! I hope it wins at the VMA!"-Todd
