Customer Reviews The Greatest hits of their first era This one features their covers of the Beatles songs "Come together" and "Kings and Queens" which despite being covers are given a new spark by Steven Tyler and the boys. To this day it's my favorite "Greatest Hits" album from this band. The early hits are here, as we find ourselves enjoying the raw and ever so powerful tracks like "Sweet Emotion" "Same old song and dance" and "Walk this way". Ten tracks in all on this greatest hits package of their early material, and when compared to their entire discography tends to fade into the background, it still is the start of the machine that we came to know as a supergroup called AEROSMITH. A very good compilation There are some pros and cons like others have said. This was the 2nd CD I ever bought (Metallica's "Master of Puppets" is the first, in case you wanted to know). Pros: 1. Most of their early hits. 2. Good overall compilation. 3. Decent sound for being transferred from analog to digital. Cons: 1. Missing some of my favorite songs like "Toys In The Attic", "Train Kept A-Rollin'" and "Mama Kin". 2. No liner notes. Overall, I think this would be best suited for more of a casual fan rather than a rabid Aerosmith fanatic. Perfect for any Aerosmith Fan It's important that this was put out back in 1980! Certainly they have had MANY hits since then. Aerosmith has been creating hits for several decades, and this CD gathers up some of their most popular songs. 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! . .
