Dream On - Aerosmith

Sing with me, sing for the year
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

Sometimes referred to as "The Bad Boy From Boston" Aerosmith has been rocking us all since 1970. With their classic rock music and a slew of hit albums, Aerosmith was already one of the greatest rock bands of all time by the end of the 1970s.

"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.

Dream On - Aerosmith

With recent news that Steven Tyler has quit the band Aerosmith, I thought this would be an appropriate post to get up right away.

Aerosmith - sometimes referred to as America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band - has been rocking the world for almost 40 years. The band has scored 21 Top 40 Hits since their debut album was released in 1973 and was named the best selling American rock band of all time.

The song chosen here for my cousin Alyssa is their first single "Dream On". Long before Steven Tyler's voice became the distinct sound it is now, he recorded this song, and it has always stood out as one of my favorites. VH1 also ranked "Dream On" #47 on their list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs

So, Alyssa, travel back to when your mom was still in elementary school and enjoy "Dream On" like everyone else has.

And let's hope that Steven Tyler hasn't really quit - or that they reconcile again. We need them to keep rocking.
