Favorite Seventies Era Aerosmith Studio Album

Guest

What is your Favorite Seventies Era Aerosmith Studio Album and why?

Mine will always be Get Your Wings. There isn't a dud on that disc and they were still relatively in control of their own destiny at that point in their career. If I pull out a Aerosmith album its usually Get Your Wings or Rocks. But honestly, they are all pretty killer until Get A Grip.

ROCKS!

Why? Because... well, just because.

Rocks, why? Because it's so heavy for it's time!

Although it is very hard to choose just one, I chose Draw The Line. Very underrated album IMO. The band were on a downward spiral during the recording, but I love all of the songs on this disc, plus there are not a lot of radio hits on it.

I've always loved the self-titled so that is my vote.

This is a tough one. Sentmentally, I will always love GYW the most. But song for song, it has to be Rocks, it seems to be the heaviest of them all. I voted Rocks.
I always loved Night In The Ruts, most people dont but I loved it.

Rocks, cause its my favourite album ever all genres. Its just one sh*t kicking sleazy raw blast of blues punk. And at an important time for me discovering music made one of my previous favourite albums Appetite For Destruction seem like it was done by a bunch of choirboys!

Rocks
Get Your Wings
Toys in the Attic
Draw the Line
Night in the Ruts
Aerosmith

All very high on my favorites list. Night in the Ruts is a vastly
underrated album that is as heavy and diverse as "Rocks". I'd also
include Rock in a Hard Place on the list, although it was technically
and 80's release.

I love the debut, one of the best debut's in rock!

Gotta go with Rocks. Testament seem to love that record as well considering they covered two songs from that record - Nobody's Fault and Draw the Line. Great heavy riffs on that particular album. I also like Toy in the Attic alot as well.

rocks for sure

I'm not too familiar with the old stuff except the radio hits so I will not vote. I will try to get more familiar with them in the future though.

1) Toys In The Attic
2) Rocks
3) Get Your Wings
4) Aerosmith
5) Draw The Line
6) Night In The Ruts

Instead of creating another post I will say here what I wanted to say. Just listened to Toys In The Attic last night and I really liked what I heard. I always cosidered myself a casual fan of these guys but after enjoying that album as much as I did I will definatly seek out more of their early work. I can see why it is considered a classic. I will use the poll results here as a guide to which one I should get next.

Rocks for me. The guitar work on that album is perfect. I find it strange how there are so many Aerosmith fans who hardly know that album. I have several friends who like Aerosmith and know many songs, but they didn't know anything off of Rocks until I played it for them. Actually, I think that makes it better. It's an album that hasn't been overkilled on the radio. The same thing goes for the debut. I once played "Movin Out" for a friend of mine, and he said "who's this?".

These people don't know what they're missing.

Draw the Line. I was listening to that when I lost my virginity.
