Mamk kin absolutely one of my all-time favorites literally wore that vinyl out. Sleeping late and smoking tea

Initially I wanted to pull something off Rocks, but got drawn to their debut album instead.

So today, a double from Rocks...

Huge early Aerosmith fan. Their 1st album right up to Draw the Line to include Live Bootleg.

Sobriety was maybe good for them & their careers, but the Toxic Twins era is when the magic happened imo...

Dont ya wake up in the morning sometimes with a particular song in your head for no actual reason? :volcano:

One for today...

I think most fans would agree...something changed at that point.

Another band that had a similar effect for me was Van Halen. Huge fan of the first 6 albums with Dave...

Can you believe their debut album was the worst ranking album (19th) they put out...

Van Halen II and Women and Children First got better (6th)...

Fair Warning was another tick up (5th)...

Diver Down kept them headed up (3rd)...

...and 1984 got them just shy of the top (2nd)...

Then it happened...Dave was out.

Even though I was a big fan of both Van Halen and Hagar, I was not amused with Van Hagar...despite their 4 albums with him all hitting #1. I saw them for their 5150 tour, but was basically disappointed. Their music seemed to become too commercialized. Never really cared to listen to them after that.

But now I'm thinking maybe I short changed them...maybe I need to give their last 6 albums another listen.

Taxman

reminiscing about the Beatles, first time I danced with a girl was with this song, back in grade school. The teacher commented, well it has a beat. Yeah its the BEATles.

Yep I agree Bob, it could be said of every band that they're at their best when they're up and coming and hungry. I agree 100% about VH. Only caught them in 1984. Only saw Aerosmith once as well,, in 79 just after Joe Perry had left. Night In the Ruts tour.

Only saw ACDC once as an unknown opener in 77...was no way to top that afterwards...

Intrinsic Taxman is one of my fave fav four tunes. Such a great bassline...
