Aerosmith has been creating hits for several decades, and this CD gathers up some of their most popular songs. It's important that this was put out back in 1980! Certainly they have had MANY hits since then. Heck, they had more than 10 hits at that point, even. Still, people were asking for a Greatest Hits collection at the time, and they loved having one to buy.

These are NOT the full length album versions of songs. These are the "singles" versions. Actually for fans, that is a great thing. If you want the full length album version, you can buy the album. Without this collection it might be really hard to hear the version you remembered from the radio.

People always argue over what songs count as hits to go on a collection. I found this group a quite nice group, and I own the other albums as I said if I want to listen to another song not in this set.

Dream On is of course an epic classic, I just love this song. "Dream until your dreams come true!" It's great for blasting in the car as you cruise down the highway, looking to get that new job or boyfriend or whatever it is you're seeking. On the flip side, "Same Old Song and Dance" is a little more callous, that life gives you junk to deal with sometimes - so you deal with it.

"Sweet Emotion" is the kick-butt longing that just about every human has had at some point in life, when you see someone in a club and you just want to be with them. Then comes "Walk This Way" which I really love, with its cool strut-sound that is perfect to dance to.

Really, every song here is great, right up until the ending "Remember" song full of angst and plaintiveness. It's the perfect ending to the collection of songs that span the emotions through dreams, losses, lust, and heartache.

Well recommended to go with your other Aerosmith CDs!
