For the casual fan, Greatest Hits will do the job, as well as its sister album, 1988's Gems. With the album clocking in at only 37 and a half minutes, many Aerosmith classics are not included, such as what many consider the band's quintessential track, their cover of "Train Kept a Rollin'." The only poor selection is the forgettable "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," but nine out of ten are bona fide classics - "Dream On," "Same Old Song and Dance," "Sweet Emotion," "Walk this Way," "Last Child," "Back in the Saddle," and "Draw the Line." Also featured is their venomous cover of the Beatles' "Come Together," previously only available as a single and on the soundtrack to the 1978 movie Sgt.
Since there would be a three-year gap between 1979's Night in the Ruts and 1982's Rock in a Hard Place, Greatest Hits was assembled, more or less, to fill the void and buy the band some time. With original guitarist Joe Perry gone (and Brad Whitford soon to follow), Aerosmith had turned into a directionless, time-consuming ghost of its former self. But when it was issued in 1980, the band had just about reached its nadir. O, Yeah Ultimate Aerosmith Hits is a greatest hits album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music) by Columbia Records. Even if some of the newer material by the band tends to sound poppy or overproduced, I can always count on having a good time whenever I throw on Rocks or Toys In The Attic, both from the 70s.
The band has produced great albums, great songs, and great musicians. Aerosmith's Greatest Hits remains one of the most popular and enduring best-of collections by any rock band, selling nearly ten million copies in the U.S. 2010 - 4 Original Albums 4CD 03:17:37 320kbps. The songs of this album werent any of the greatest Aerosmith hits but the album cover was interesting especially since the band ultimately lost Joe Perry. Aerosmith are one of my favorite bands, especially the 70s era Aerosmith.
