One of the reasons why Aerosmith, after a number of creatively lean years, are still given legendary credence and an eager ear with each new release, Rocks encapsulated the very essence of rock 'n' roll. They may have been the target of detractors who still pinned them as nothing more than a poor man's Rolling Stones, but Rocks pioneered a strength and swagger and real depth that remains very nearly unsurpassed. From the slowly escalating 'Back In The Saddle' to the dying strains of 'Home Tonight', this album held the full spirit and soul of Aerosmith in both hands.

Rocks Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Top 10 Hard Rock albums of ALL TIME This is not only Aerosmith's zenith in terms of song writing and delivery, but it stands as one of the best albums ever! Back In The Saddle is not your routine hard rock thunder and has never been duplicated. Last Child is hard rock funk blues and the rest of the album is killer riff after killer riff. Listen to Tyler and Perry's dual vocals on Combination -- a very underrated song. Bottom line is that every rock star on the planet will tell you what this album means to them. It is a must have for any rock fan. Submitted by Jarod (Portland OR) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful.

Awesome album Fantastic album. One of Aerosmith's all time classic albums. Worth you money, because Rocks rocks! Submitted by Ezra (Matamata, NZ) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
from an old fart I'm 43 years old i owned Aerosmith "Rocks" on 8-track tape (along with "Toys in the Attic") Since its almost 30 years later I get the songs from both albums confused. I remember I got them at the same time. In my opinion they go together. Both Albums were part of the soundtrack of my adolesence.
I recently became nostalgic and bought the "Rocks" CD. Damn what a sweet Albums it was. I had not heard some of these songs since i was 14. For me one of the highlights which was not a hit was "A lick and a Promise". They just tore it up on that one.
Over the years I always heard "Back in the Saddle", "Rats in the Cellar", and "Last Child" on classic Rock stations, but I forgot about the other songs. Think i'll get "Toys in the Attic Next".

| | Aerosmith Get Your Wings CD (1974) Remastered
Rocks music CDs
$6.75 By the time Aerosmith released GET YOUR WINGS they were gaining serious momentum as edgy, sassy hard rock contenders. The band's sophomore effort, WINGS was the first time the five-piece band hooked up with eventual long-time producer Jack Douglas, and the result was an eight-song juggernaut of slashing guitars, pounding rhythms, and in-your-face attitude. The band's trademark dual-guitar raunch and vocalist Steven Tyler's vowel-chewing yelp can be heard loud and clear on slinky rockers like "Same Old Song and Dance" and "Pandora's Box."
The band turns in a scathing cover of Tiny Bradshaw's "Train Kept a Rollin'" (originally done by Aerosmith's heroes, the Yardbirds), a track that became a fixture in the ...

Rocks album
$11.19 This two-fer CD includes the entirety of two of the Everly Brothers' early albums for Warner Brothers Records, 1961's BOTH SIDES OF AN EVENING and 1962's INSTANT PARTY.
The two-LP-on-one-CD Both Sides of an Evening/Instant Party doesn't have nearly the level of interest of its companion volume (It's Everly Time/A Date With the Everly Brothers), and it is definitely not the place to start hearing the Everly Brothers' Warner Bros. sides. But it does have just enough good quality (and little-heard) album tracks to make it worthwhile for serious fans. The two original LPs' contents have been rounded ...
