No Surprise there

One of the truly great rock bands. We can all have ideas about the order of the Albums but what a great catalogue they have. Saw them in England for the first time in 1989 and they rocked.

Hey Brendon! Saw the boys back in the mid 90's. Can't believe that was almost 30 years ago! Saw two shows and Aerosmith blew the roof off of The Palace of Auburn Hills which no longer exists. Best song of the sets had to be Seasons of Wither. Great song, girlfriend cried her eyes out. Take care Brendon. AEROSMITH ROCKS❗️😎

Whenever the word Aerosmith is mentioned I immediately think of Rocks, in my opinion, one of the five greatest hard rock albums ever made. Aerosmith's heaviest album, with ferocious riffs (Lick And A Promise, Rats In The Cellar, Nobody's Fault, Back In The Saddle etc. ) amazing, fiery tone on Joe and Brads guitars, Tyler vocals as raw and forceful as they've ever been and really, the production is next level! Hell, even the lone ballad is stellar. Often sited by other musicians, Rocks cover is an apt description of what lies inside, a flawless gem of an album🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 !!!

exactly, and it's title is "Greatest Hits" How can they repeat the same title but have a different album track listing? Despite all the extra songs it's missing Remember Walking In The Sand and Come Together. Why would I want to buy this set except as a collector that must have every release. Aerosmith, just release a blank album and sell it to us, with nice packaging etc. We already have those songs, just make it blank

TOYS IN THE ATTIC was a huge let down 👇. ●AEROSMITH was great, but Steven Tyler's voice sounded comical, and the whole album sounded like it was recorded in a tin-can. ●GET YOUR WINGS was perfect. Every song is well written, arranged and played right. It's the greatest 2 guitar rock album ever recorded. TOYS IN THE ATTIC was a big step down 👇. Loose, inconsistent, uninspired.

For me, I’d say: #1 ROCKS, #2 Toys in the Attic (those switch back and forth all the time). 3. Get Yr Wings, 4. Aerosmith first album. Pump, 5. Night in the Rut 6. Rock in a Hard Place 7. Pandora’s Box I like Just Push Play a lot. Dude the first album is legendary, it’s some Aerosmith fans’ number one favorite album. Listen again man, it ROCKS

I have seen other rankings shows & the host/guests were NOT too thrilled with the debut, either. I think the LCD is...they're younger than me & they were not a teen in 1973. ;-) The debut may be "raw" ("Dream On" sounds very polished, though)...raw is what I would want in a Hard Rock debut album.

I’m going to use 14 because Honkin’ on Bobo is a covers mess so technically I guess it’s 15 14. Just Push Play 13. Music From Another Dimension 12. Done With Mirrors 11. Get A Grip 10.

Not a fan of Aerosmith, but i still enjoyed the video.

This will only resonate with people 55 or over. Aerosmith was huge in the 70s, but in the early 80s, it seemed like it was over for them. I liked " when the lightning strikes" in 82, but it didn't tear up the charts. I remember seeing their new album Done With Mirrors in 85, thinking " yeah that's gonna sell lol", even though I had been a fan back in the 70s, I didn't see how they could transition into the 80s comfortably. What can I say? I was dead wrong. Permanent Vacation made them huge again

The rap cover of "Walk this Way" - that also had Steven Tyler performing a cameo in the video - is what brought Aerosmith to the attention of a new generation; and to Aerosmith's credt, they took that one chance to revitalize themselves and knocked it out of the park with some of their biggest hits ever to follow. In my opinion, that's what makes them one of the all time greatest bands...

1. Draw the line, 2. Night in the ruts, 3. Rock and a hard place, 4. Toys in the attic, 5. Permanent vacation. Cheers.

My dad has said before that the debut is his favorite album of theirs

Rock in a Hard Place was my first Aerosmith album. I didn’t really know much about them and I bought that one solely based on the title. I really like most of side one and some of side two is pretty good. I agree with you about Toys in the Attic. The hits are what make it, along with Round and Round. What I love about Permanent Vacation is that Aerosmith did not do a Whitesnake and become a glam metal band but instead made an album with rock - not metal - guitars, and included lots of blues and bits of jazz and whatnot. With all the woodwinds and acoustic guitars, and various flavours, this album really stands out for me in the late eighties.

Great video. It’s made me want to go back and revisit Aerosmith, especially the two early ones you had ranked high. I can’t argue with “Pump” at #1 as for me it’s either that or “Permanent Vacation”, which I have a soft spot for. But then for some reason “Get a Grip” totally turned me off to them, or maybe my taste changed a bit. And I concur: “Draw the Line” (the song) is FANTASTIC and probably IS my favorite by them.

The Captain’s top five: 1- Toys in the Attic 2- Rocks 3- Get Your Wings 4- Draw the Line 5- Night in the Ruts HM- Rock in a Hard Place

Love 70's Aerosmith, especially Rocks!

Cool list. I would just have Night In The Ruts higher in the list.

For me the first 5 albums would be in the top 5. Toss in Night in the ruts, Rock in a hard place, Permanent Vacation, Pump and Get a grip in the next five slots. Done with mirrors next. Bobo and Just put play last. And the others near the end

Night in the Ruts is a true hidden gem. Very underated. Way better than Music from another dimension IMHO

I can find something to like from every Aerosmith album ever made. I’d say Just Push Play is the one I listen to the least. What they’ve been able to do over a 50 year career is nothing short of Amazing. Get Your Wings, Rocks, Nine Lives and Permanent Vacation are probably my top favorites.

Great band. Great review. Alongside Van Halen the greatest American hardrock band I believe 🤘🏼

Another greatest hits coming out? Good grief, haven't they already released enough of those.... I love that Pandora's box set you have in the background.

I’m not crazy about the first record either. My top three are Toys, Rocks, and Perm Vacation.

1. Toys - TitA / Uncle Salty / Walk This Way / Sweet emotion / No More No More 2. Rocks - Back in the Saddle / Last Child / Sick as a Dog / Nobody's Fault / Lick and a Promise 3. Get Your Wings - Same Old Song and Dance / Lord of the Thighs / S.O.S. / Train Kept a Rollin' / Seasons of Wither 4. Night in the Ruts - No Surprize / Cheese Cake / Three Mile Smile / Bone to Bone / bonus - Chip Away the Stone 5. Draw the Line - DtL / Critical Mass / Kings and Queens / Sight for Sore Eyes 6. Pump - Love in an Elevator / Janie's Got a Gun / The Other Side / What it Takes 7. Permanent Vacation - Rag Doll / Dude (Looks Like a Lady) / Hangman Jury / Angel 8. Get a Grip 9. Aerosmith 10. Rock in a Hard Place Honorable Mention: Done with Mirrors

That album is always good! I love every track. If I hear one song I’ve got to play the whole thing.

Aerosmith has been one of my fav bands for many years! Get a Grip was my first real album that I got into. I do prefer the classic 70's albums for sure.

Im not sure streaming affected Music From Another Dimension’s sales too much. It was probably a factor, but in 2012 streaming wasn’t quite as ubiquitous as it is now, with people in Aerosmith’s age range still largely purchasing albums. I think the lack of a major single along with the somewhat tepid reception of the previous 2 albums added with the lengthy break doomed it.

That seems to me 15 seems to be the magic number of albums.

Glad to see Get A Grip getting some high love. This album is almost perfect. Even the non-singles rock very hard and are catchy. To me, this was their last great album and they haven't topped it in 30 years.

My top 3 favorite albums from Aerosmith are 3. Toys in the Attic 2. Permanent Vacation 1. Pump

Great ranking. Almost forgot to get off the train listening.😅 . Pump was great but less of a throwback to the '70-ties but more commercial arena rock.

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was the first song I heard from them. I wish it could have been on one of their albums. It deserves to be in these album rankings, but too bad it isn't on their album discography. Nowadays, some singers put soundtrack songs on their own albums. I do feel like that is cheating a little though. I think "Come Together" was on that same soundtrack.

Pump is my favorite too

I love the debut from Aerosmith. There sound wasn't fully realized yet, but I love the rawness of it. "One Way Street" is classic. As far as bottom feeders, I would put "Just Push Play" at the bottom and then "Permanent Vacation" If I never hear Dude Looks Like a Lady or Rag Doll again, I will be more than OK with that. I love "Night in the Ruts". Remember what Steven tells us? "Midnight lady Situation fetal Vaccinate your ass With a phonograph needle"

Aerosmith can be credited with inventing time travel. According to Brendan Snyder, Aerosmith formed in 1970, however, their debut album came out in 1953. Interesting, so the guys in Aerosmith invented time travel, nice.

Done with mirrors would be top five on my list.

Night In The Ruts is a totally underrated Classic; its actually the last album with the original lineup (although Perry left halfway through the recording). Its all Killer no Filler!

This should be good, unfortunately they got progressively worse after the masterpiece pump.

Now this is a list I can get behind! Maybe flip 45 and 78. But, I rarely agree with this guy’s rankings and this is no exception. Well, he loves Hysteria and White Lion so… 😃

I've met all the AEROSMITH guys over the years. I asked Tommy Hamilton what it was like when Brad + Joe left and Steven was all drugged down 👇. He told me after a while, he was doing it all just for the money. I remember Tom saying, "At least I still had dental insurance!"

I’ve seen that “box of fire” floating around on eBay! Is there an unboxing on the channel?

great ranking brendon. Pump was produced by bruce fairburn and recorded in vancouver canada. Pump is a good good good album. i really lke it. i only own toys in the attic on cd. im working on aerosmith cds. mike friend from canada eh!!

Pump at #1 now I know why I like you so much!!!!! Most Aerosmith rankings on here are high on the 70’s stuff and dump on the 80’s and 90’s stuff! You mixed it up very well!!!!! Can’t say I disagree much accept I’d put 9 lives a tad higher and wings over rocks. You have so many greats video series!!!! (Rankings,news,releases,record store………) honestly it’s awesome!!!! Also I love the glam gems! I have another idea though. Many times when I watch a video (like this) I think”if he had a Aerosmith playlist what would be on it?” When I watch the glam videos I think “what would be on his glam playlist?” Could you do some playlist videos? I made a 25 song gnr playlist the other day and I’d be curious what yours would be? Maybe you just like albums?

To be honest, I love 'Draw the Line'. When it came out I loved it and still love it to this day. But, because I grew up with Aerosmith I will always gravitate towards their earlier albums as opposed to later albums of the 80's and 90's. Not a huge fan of 'Pump' your favorite. Last track, just don't like it and for me, very out of place. Over the years the band definitely lost their hard rock and raw sound of those favorite early albums like 'Toys' and 'Rocks'. I'm sure a lot of die hard fans that grew up with them could say that the band sold out to commercialism.

1987's Permanent Vacation (A++) favorite album of all time, featuring Steven Tyler's yak-yak-yak-yeow metal screaming all over the album, an album that's 100 percent testosterone and energy. 2012's Music From Another Dimension is their weakest album, featuring Steven Tyler's soul music love squeals all over the place, an album featuring zero traces of testosterone and no spark of energy, a completely adult contemporary album with kinky lyrics half the time. Steven Tyler became a totally different singer on the 1989's Pump album, though it rocks hard, he introduces his soul music love squeals, and it has zero yak-yak-yak-yak-yeow metal demon screams... nor do any other albums later feature a "demon screaming" Steven Tyler. Also, the lyrics change from their classic bad boy character to industry pets, adult contemporary lyrics, if not a bit kinky, that's it. Pump is the first album that introduces "Love" in a title. Every album after will have a "Love" title. None of the Albums before had a "Love" title. 2012's Music From Another Dimension has 3 Love titles!!! (that includes Love, Luv and Lover) Yes, there was a change in Aerosmith but it wasn't at Permanent Vacation, it was definitely at Pump. They dropped the really heavy music and introduced adult contempory lyrics. They were scorned by the music industry critics up until Pump, and in 1990 they earned their first Grammy for ""Janie 'puts a bullet in his brain' Got A Gun"" tune off of Pump, a catchy song, but cringey, helped start the males are monsters culture change and end of the 80s. Steven Tyler also dropped his masculinity with Pump, and became a soul music queen like Aretha Franklin. I wish they'd do another masculine album. Favorite band ever: Aerosmith.

I agree with you about Angel. I consider it one of the best power ballads ever. Unfortunately, Joe Perry isn't fond of it because he didn't write it. Permanent Vacation was the first time they used outside writers and I think part of him resents that fact even though it helped make them hugely successful.

Fine choices. PUMP was a big one for me. Had it on cassette. All I could afford at the time😂

Pump is also my favorite Aerosmith album and F.I.N.E. is my favorite Aerosmith song.

Unfortunately I don’t own all Aerosmith albums. It’s not that I don’t like the group. I have the boxset Pandora’s Box. 5 albums and 2 Compilations. So I won’t make a ranking of these albums.
