these bad boys from Boston are also
known as America’s greatest rock and
roll band it’s what I was searching for
in the early days you know in the way
outer sphere drinking you know welfare
whiskey smoking food-stamp crack welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Aerosmith songs for this list we’ve
chosen our entries based on a
combination of the artists fan favorites
and their most commercially successful
songs
10 mama Kim as the first single off
Aerosmith self-titled debut this track
helped introduce the band’s hard rock
and blues rock sound though it didn’t
make it to the American pop charts mama
Kim has endured thanks to its mix of
guitar riffs solid backbeat and use of
the saxophone and even though it was
recorded in the early 70s it remains a
constant inclusion in the band’s live
sets
number nine back in the saddle
with its growly Joe Perry penned riff
Steven Tyler’s yodeling and some
equestrian audio effects
the heavy back in the saddle is a great
example of the band’s combined musical
talents
it’s also got some fine production work
by Jack Douglas and an anthemic nature
both of which surely helped back in the
saddle reach the Billboard Hot 100’s top
40
number eight ragdoll
as if you need
the last single from Aerosmith’s ninth
record is a four and a half minute
number that blends elements of hard rock
glam metal and funk metal
that’s not all thanks to Joey Kramer’s
memorable drum beat parry slide guitar
and some warns ragdoll peak within the
Billboard Top 100 top 20
number seven dude looks like a lady
just as the title suggests this
permanent vacation single is about a man
who is mistaken for a woman because of
the way he looks
aside from its intriguing lyrics dude
looks like a lady also features plenty
of hooks and the use of sax trombone and
so much more
by peaking at number 14 on the Billboard
Hot 100 the song also gave Aerosmith
their first top 40 hit in almost a
decade and inspired the film mrs.
Doubtfire
number six crying
while crazy was another top 20 hit off
get a grip
it’s that same album’s fourth single
that lands here
with its blues rock and hard rock
flavors the power ballad hit number 12
on the American charts
and reached the top 20 of several
European charts
however we can’t forget its popular
music video either as it marked Alicia
Silverstone’s first collaboration in
their short films
number five Janie’s got a gun with pumps
second single Aerosmith’s took their
lyrics down a darker path than they’re
normally known for by exploring child
abuse and gun violence despite the
risque themes Janie’s got a gun became a
top-five smash and not the band their
first Grammy ever
it’s david fincher directive music video
also won two MTV VMAs
oh good morning mr. Tyler going down
number four love in an elevator
opening with an intro by a female
elevator operator this track off-pump
combines hard rock and glam metals so
successfully it became a billboard hot
100 top five hit
accordingly inspired by one of Tyler’s
real life experiences lovin an elevator
is often incorporated into the band’s
live shows because it’s such a fan
favorite
it was also accompanied by a memorable
music video
number three walk this way
with perry’s recognizable guitar riff
and Tyler’s rapid-fire lyrics
Aerosmith’s second single from Toys in
the Attic took the masses by storm
but it was its re-release 11 years later
featuring the flavors of one of the most
influential hip-hop groups of all time
that revived Aerosmith’s career
1986 collaboration between Run DMC Tyler
and parries also paved the way for rap
rock and launch the hip hoppers to
mainstream popularity
Oh
number two sweet emotion
this hard rocker off Toys in the Attic
helped launch the band to mainstream
audiences by becoming their first
Billboard Hot 100 top 40 single
peaking at number 36 the sweet tune
remains ingrained in our musical
memories thanks to the band’s use of the
top box bass marimba and multiple guitar
we also helped its parent album garner
critical and commercial success
you’re just sayin

she comes

when you’re asleep
number one dream on
it may have only reached the Billboard
Hot 100 top 60 when it was initially
released but this power ballad from
Aerosmith debut is everything we love
about the band and so much more

vocals some killer guitar
