1973: Aerosmith, Aerosmith: I think we have to go on record and mention the debut album by Aerosmith here. Their enduring legacy as one of the better rock bands out there is evident by front man Steven Tyler’s two-year run on “American Idol” which reinvigorated a fan base and brought the band a new generation of fans.
Aerosmtih spawned one of the band’s biggest hits in “Dream On” and caused the album to peak at #21 on the Billboard Top 200.
