Sing for the laugh, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
"Dream On" was Aerosmith's first single off their debut album in 1973. While the song only reached #56 on the charts when it was released, it was huge in their hometown of Boston. And when it was rereleased in 1976, the single went to #6 on the charts.
What the song is missing is Steven Tyler's scratchy voice. Back in the day his voice was a bit smoother than it has been the last 20 years, but the song oozes the essence of Aerosmith. "Dream On" was listed as #151 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Amid breakups, reunions and more breakup rumors, Aerosmith has a huge fan following, and will go down in history as the greatest rock and roll band of all time.
