Aerosmith-Draw The Line (1977)

Amidst strained relationships within the band due to drug use, Aerosmith released the last great album of their early period. While it lacked the power, swagger, and brilliance of their earlier work, it still possessed considerable quality. Recorded in an old New York convent that was converted for the recording sessions between June and October of 1977, it was produced by Jack Douglas, who had also helmed the previous albums. Highlights of this fifth album include the playful rock and roll title track, the boogie-rock anthem "Critical Mass", the powerful "Get It Up", the heavy hard rock track "Kings and Queens", and the boogie-blues number "Milk Cow Blues". Although it didn't achieve the commercial success of its predecessor, "Rocks", "Draw the Line", reached a respectable number eleven on the Billboard charts and earned several platinum records for its sales in the North American market.

Aerosmith-Aerosmith (1973)

"Dream on" is one of the songs that is part of the first album of the Boston band, Aerosmith, published in 1973, but it would be after its relaunch at the end of 1975, and thanks to countless American radio stations, when it was would place at the top of the American charts.
However, within that simple cover above the clouds of his first album, apart from the aforementioned “Dream On”, other songs float like “Walkin' the Dog”, a tribute to Rufus Thomas Jr, a relevant Bluesman, the classic “ Toys in the Attic”, a round song in every sense, the fusion of rap and rock connected in 'Walk This Way' or the first written contribution of guitarist Brad Whitford, “Round a Round”, a wonderful song flavored with psychedelic touches.
However, "Dream On" was first performed live at the Shaboo Inn in Willimantic, Connecticut in 1969 with Steven's old band (who wrote it as a young man in the mid-'60s), Chain Reaction. It was undoubtedly one of the band's most successful songs, and their most popular single during the group's formative years in the 1970s, and an immediate passport that would catapult this album to success.

Aerosmith-Permanent Vacation (1987)

By the mid-eighties, Aerosmith was mired in total decline. Their constant drug abuse, internal disputes, and the constant comings and goings of its members had led them to complete obscurity. In 1985, they released the understated "Done With Mirrors", which earned them a gold record. Even more importantly, the original lineup reunited after the strange experiments of the albums "Nights In The Ruts" and "Rock In A Hard Place", which featured interim members like guitarists Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay replacing Bard Whitford and Joe Perry. In “Done With Mirrors”, despite being a transitional album and not exactly a masterpiece, a noticeable improvement over their two previous works is already evident. Standout tracks included the vibrant “My Fist Your Face”, the playful “The Reason A Dog”, the bluesy “Shame On You” and “Shela”, and the interesting “She’s On Fire”, which contrasted sharply with other, much more predictable and less creatively accomplished songs. Two years after “Done With Mirrors”, they released the album “Permanent Vacation”, which marked the turning point between continuing or ending the band's career. Here, for the first time, they incorporated compositions by artists such as Desmond Child and Jim Vallance, along with an almost radical change in their sound, all in an attempt to gain wider acceptance from the public a public that, incidentally, had long since turned its back on them. Composed of a series of addictive and energetic songs such as the opening track “Heart’s Done Time”, the melodic “Magic Touch”, the rhythmic “Rag Doll”, the bluesy “St. John”, the southern-tinged “Hagman Jury”, and the powerful “Girl Keeps Coming Apart”. The album's subsequent reception resurrected Aerosmith from obscurity, propelling them to number eleven on the US charts and achieving sales exceeding five million copies in the US market alone and over one million worldwide a figure that would be surpassed by their next and outstanding album, “Pump”, released several years later. 

Aerosmith-Get A Grip (1993)

With "Get a Grip", Aerosmith cemented their status as one of rock and roll's greatest bands after a long period of relative obscurity, marked by a series of albums that strayed from their initial, carefree sound, such as "Night in the Ruts", "Rock in a Hard Place", and, to a lesser extent, "Done with Mirrors", as well as personal issues affecting some of its members. However, starting with their eighth album, "Permanent Vacation", the Boston band took a significant step forward, crafting an exceptional work featuring some of their best compositions, such as "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Rag Doll". Following another phenomenal release, the subsequent "Pump", they confirmed their creative resurgence with "Get a Grip", where mid-tempo tracks and ballads form the core of the album. Here appear the irresistible "Crazy", "Amazing" and "Cryin'", three great contributions to the commercial success of the group, which are followed by a set list made up of the hard rock songs "Walk This Way", "Eat The Rich", "Get a Grip" or "Fever", making it clear with all of them that the vein of the rawest and most energetic rock and roll continued to flow through the veins of these reborn Aerosmith.

Aerosmith-Live ! Bootleg (1978)

Live! Bootleg is a double live album, which collects live recordings of Aerosmith from 1973 to 1978.
His name was designed this way, to give it a certain pirate character, with hardly any touch-ups in the studio and even with intentional errors in the set list of songs.
By the time this album was released, the band was already established in the United States thanks mainly to capital works such as "Get Your Wings", "Toys In The Attic" or "Rocks", but also as the popularity of Aerosmith was in Increase, internal problems did, mainly derived from drugs, especially by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
Even so, the hard rock of this mythical band here does not suffer at all, where songs like "Sweet Emotion", "Last Child", "Black In The Saddle", "Mama Kin" or Walk This Way", without forgetting the eternal "Dream On", are combined with versions like "Come Together" by the Beatles, "Mother Popcorn" by James Brown or "Train Kept A-Rollin" by the Yardbirds.
"Live Bootleg" is arguably Aerosmith's best live recording, well above the "Classic Live" published in the 1980s or "A Little South of Sanity" in the late 1990s.

Aerosmith-Get Your Wings (1974)

The continuation of the homonymous debut of Aerosmith brought with it an album that considerably improved the sound and some musicians who, logically, had a greater experience, which translates into an album, Get Your wings (1974), more balanced and of better quality as a whole . The production is carried out by Ray Colcord, Jack Douglas and Bob Ezrin, although, the latter barely appeared to provide specific ideas. The album opens with a fantastic song like "Same Old Song And Dance", of recognizable riff and contagious melodies, standing as the most important of those included, but we must not forget such important titles as "Lord Of The Thighs", the dense and progressive "Season of Wither" or the mythical "Pandora's Box".
