Gotta thank my late cousin who introduced Aerosmith to me back in 1989 with Pump he played that cassette over and over again he particularly liked The Other Side..RIP Cuz
One of the truly great rock bands. We can all have ideas about the order of the Albums but what a great catalogue they have. Saw them in England for the first time in 1989 and they rocked.
def agree , bone to bone, think about it, reefer headed woman and coney island white fish...its a total jam fest, and still has the more stock songs too like no surprize n walkin in the sand, but i think some have issues that some of killer solos r not joe perry, but i have even read the studio train kept is steve hunter who i think was with alice cooper at the time
Hey Brendon! Saw the boys back in the mid 90's. Can't believe that was almost 30 years ago! Saw two shows and Aerosmith blew the roof off of The Palace of Auburn Hills which no longer exists. Best song of the sets had to be Seasons of Wither. Great song, girlfriend cried her eyes out. Take care Brendon. AEROSMITH ROCKS❗️😎
Well done Brendon! I'm 58 and got into them with Rocks, so Rocks and Toys are unsurprisingly my favorites but they're a great band overall.....My one dig at Aerosmith is that they must lead the world in greatest hits releases. That they're releasing another is just ridiculous.
exactly, and it's title is "Greatest Hits" How can they repeat the same title but have a different album track listing? Despite all the extra songs it's missing Remember Walking In The Sand and Come Together. Why would I want to buy this set except as a collector that must have every release. Aerosmith, just release a blank album and sell it to us, with nice packaging etc. We already have those songs, just make it blank
Whenever the word Aerosmith is mentioned I immediately think of Rocks, in my opinion, one of the five greatest hard rock albums ever made. Aerosmith's heaviest album, with ferocious riffs (Lick And A Promise, Rats In The Cellar, Nobody's Fault, Back In The Saddle etc. ) amazing, fiery tone on Joe and Brads guitars, Tyler vocals as raw and forceful as they've ever been and really, the production is next level! Hell, even the lone ballad is stellar. Often sited by other musicians, Rocks cover is an apt description of what lies inside, a flawless gem of an album🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 !!!
Toys has one of my favorite Aerosmith songs, No More No More. It has a great opening line: Blood stains the ivories on my Daddy's Baby Grand/Ain't seen the daylight since we started this band.
Have you heard the live-version of the live-album "Rockin' The Joint" from 2002? No More No More is track number 4. The live-album is quite decent and this song is a real highlight!
10 seconds into the video, PUMP number one. Every second of this album is flawless with Steven's voice sounding the best he's put to record. The stars certainly aligned when making this one.

Rock In A Hard Place 9. Nine Lives 8. Permanent Vacation 7. Pump 6. Aerosmith/Debut 5. Night In The Ruts 4. Draw The Line 3. Get Your Wings 2. Toys In The Attic 1. Rocks
This is my list, only with the albums I have: 12. Just Push Play 11. Nine Lives 10. Draw the Line 9. Get a Grip 8. Done with Mirrors 7. Night in the Ruts 6. Pump 5. Rocks 4. Permanent Vacation 3. Get Your Wings 2. Aerosmith 1. Toys in the Attic
Aerosmith has been one of my fav bands for many years! Get a Grip was my first real album that I got into. I do prefer the classic 70's albums for sure.
Interesting ranking Brendon, it's always very interesting to hear your opinions regarding albums i know & love. My own ranking would be different with Toys & Rocks vying for the top spot but we all take away certain things from records that others might not which always makes for interesting discussions. I look forward to any future ranking videos, great content as always.
TOYS IN THE ATTIC was a huge let down 👇. ●AEROSMITH was great, but Steven Tyler's voice sounded comical, and the whole album sounded like it was recorded in a tin-can. ●GET YOUR WINGS was perfect. Every song is well written, arranged and played right. It's the greatest 2 guitar rock album ever recorded. TOYS IN THE ATTIC was a big step down 👇. Loose, inconsistent, uninspired.
For me, I’d say: #1 ROCKS, #2 Toys in the Attic (those switch back and forth all the time). 3. Get Yr Wings, 4. Aerosmith first album. Pump, 5. Night in the Rut 6. Rock in a Hard Place 7. Pandora’s Box I like Just Push Play a lot. Dude the first album is legendary, it’s some Aerosmith fans’ number one favorite album. Listen again man, it ROCKS
I have seen other rankings shows & the host/guests were NOT too thrilled with the debut, either. I think the LCD is...they're younger than me & they were not a teen in 1973. ;-) The debut may be "raw" ("Dream On" sounds very polished, though)...raw is what I would want in a Hard Rock debut album.
Great list, probably the most unique Aerosmith list I've ever seen.... but that's what makes these videos fun to watch! My top 5 is 1. Toys 2. Rocks 3. Done With Mirrors 4. Get Your Wings 5. Draw the Line 6. Just Push Play ....I wanted to give some love for this album, it just misses my top 5 lol
Rock in a Hard Place was my first Aerosmith album. I didn’t really know much about them and I bought that one solely based on the title. I really like most of side one and some of side two is pretty good. I agree with you about Toys in the Attic. The hits are what make it, along with Round and Round. What I love about Permanent Vacation is that Aerosmith did not do a Whitesnake and become a glam metal band but instead made an album with rock - not metal - guitars, and included lots of blues and bits of jazz and whatnot. With all the woodwinds and acoustic guitars, and various flavours, this album really stands out for me in the late eighties.
This will only resonate with people 55 or over. Aerosmith was huge in the 70s, but in the early 80s, it seemed like it was over for them. I liked " when the lightning strikes" in 82, but it didn't tear up the charts. I remember seeing their new album Done With Mirrors in 85, thinking " yeah that's gonna sell lol", even though I had been a fan back in the 70s, I didn't see how they could transition into the 80s comfortably. What can I say? I was dead wrong. Permanent Vacation made them huge again
The rap cover of "Walk this Way" - that also had Steven Tyler performing a cameo in the video - is what brought Aerosmith to the attention of a new generation; and to Aerosmith's credt, they took that one chance to revitalize themselves and knocked it out of the park with some of their biggest hits ever to follow. In my opinion, that's what makes them one of the all time greatest bands...
Great video. It’s made me want to go back and revisit Aerosmith, especially the two early ones you had ranked high. I can’t argue with “Pump” at #1 as for me it’s either that or “Permanent Vacation”, which I have a soft spot for. But then for some reason “Get a Grip” totally turned me off to them, or maybe my taste changed a bit. And I concur: “Draw the Line” (the song) is FANTASTIC and probably IS my favorite by them.
Great vid. A little surprised to see the debut so far down, but I get it since they didn’t sound like the band they went on to become. Great to see Rock in a Hard Place up the list as it is a great album even though the Perry Whitford guitar duo isn’t there.
I can find something to like from every Aerosmith album ever made. I’d say Just Push Play is the one I listen to the least. What they’ve been able to do over a 50 year career is nothing short of Amazing. Get Your Wings, Rocks, Nine Lives and Permanent Vacation are probably my top favorites.
For me the first 5 albums would be in the top 5. Toss in Night in the ruts, Rock in a hard place, Permanent Vacation, Pump and Get a grip in the next five slots. Done with mirrors next. Bobo and Just put play last. And the others near the end
Enjoyed this ranking Brendon. I prefer the first album over Get Your Wings, and the first album also charted higher. Train Kept A Rollin and Same Old Song and Dance are a bit monotonous IMHO.
Thank you for this interesting rating! I must admit, I'm not familiar with the last few albums. Here are my top 5 (no particular order): sftd., Draw the Line, Toys In the Attic, Rocks, Pump.
Glad to see Get A Grip getting some high love. This album is almost perfect. Even the non-singles rock very hard and are catchy. To me, this was their last great album and they haven't topped it in 30 years.
Another greatest hits coming out? Good grief, haven't they already released enough of those.... I love that Pandora's box set you have in the background.
Im not sure streaming affected Music From Another Dimension’s sales too much. It was probably a factor, but in 2012 streaming wasn’t quite as ubiquitous as it is now, with people in Aerosmith’s age range still largely purchasing albums. I think the lack of a major single along with the somewhat tepid reception of the previous 2 albums added with the lengthy break doomed it.
I love the debut from Aerosmith. There sound wasn't fully realized yet, but I love the rawness of it. "One Way Street" is classic. As far as bottom feeders, I would put "Just Push Play" at the bottom and then "Permanent Vacation" If I never hear Dude Looks Like a Lady or Rag Doll again, I will be more than OK with that. I love "Night in the Ruts". Remember what Steven tells us? "Midnight lady Situation fetal Vaccinate your ass With a phonograph needle"

Nice Video Brendon. My favorite Aerosmith album is Permanent Vacation. It just really flows well from start to finish. #2 on my list would be Pump, then Get a Grip..
great ranking brendon. Pump was produced by bruce fairburn and recorded in vancouver canada. Pump is a good good good album. i really lke it. i only own toys in the attic on cd. im working on aerosmith cds. mike friend from canada eh!!
I only have two Aerosmith albums I own on cd, ‘Toys In The Attic’ and their last to date ‘Music From Another Dimension’. ‘Rocks’ and their comeback albums ‘Permanent Vacation’ and ‘Pump’ are next on my list.
Love Aerosmith and think Rock in a Hard Place is underrated classic. First time had seen them was this tour w/Pat Travers Band backing them. My only bitch about Aerosmith is seem to write TOO many ballads on some of their later catalog; that being said, still dig them. Nice post, Brendon and thank you.
Pump at #1 now I know why I like you so much!!!!! Most Aerosmith rankings on here are high on the 70’s stuff and dump on the 80’s and 90’s stuff! You mixed it up very well!!!!! Can’t say I disagree much accept I’d put 9 lives a tad higher and wings over rocks. You have so many greats video series!!!! (Rankings,news,releases,record store………) honestly it’s awesome!!!! Also I love the glam gems! I have another idea though. Many times when I watch a video (like this) I think”if he had a Aerosmith playlist what would be on it?” When I watch the glam videos I think “what would be on his glam playlist?” Could you do some playlist videos? I made a 25 song gnr playlist the other day and I’d be curious what yours would be? Maybe you just like albums?
Omg. I started listening . Then i heard how low he put Night in the ruts. Lol. He put Music from another dimention ahead of the debut album and Night in the ruts ! Lol. Hahaha. Had to turn it off at that point. . 1)rocks 2)toys 3)get ur wings 4) draw the line 5) night in the ruts
I wouldn’t even put it in front of Just Push Play which is nowhere near as bad as people make out. MFAD has like two good songs on it. Embarrassing and forgettable album. Honkin is no better. Lucky you turned off early he had Toys In The Attic at 7 Lol
15. Rock In A Hard Place 14. Done With Mirrors 13. Get A Grip 12. Honkin’ On Bobo 11. Night In The Ruts 10. Music From Another Dimension 09. Draw The Line 08. Permanent Vacation 07. Just Push Play 06. Aerosmith 05. Nine Lives 04. Get Your Wings 03. Pump 02. Toys In The Attic 01. Rocks
I grew up in Colorado and after the 70's Aerosmith was not as big a deal. There, more of the wesr coast rock was a bigger deal. However I love your ranking videos. Thanks Brendon.
Pretty sure I was the 1st guy in my school to buy the Aerosmith debut in the day. Never heard of them. Name was kinda cool & they just looked like a kick ass Hard Rock band. Funny, "Dream On" was the song we usually skipped over. GET YOUR WINGS & TOYS IN THE ATTIC are the ones I am most partial to...+ the debut. One of these daze, I will pick up ROCKS.
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was the first song I heard from them. I wish it could have been on one of their albums. It deserves to be in these album rankings, but too bad it isn't on their album discography. Nowadays, some singers put soundtrack songs on their own albums. I do feel like that is cheating a little though. I think "Come Together" was on that same soundtrack.
interesting but Pump seems to have a lot of love which, as a fan from 1975, was a terrible let down. It did contain 2 tracks namely Hoodoo Voodoo Medicine man and Monkey On My Back which were reminiscent of the the band's more gutsy earlier material but the rest...no thanks. Permanent Vacation really signalled the end of the band's gritty rock 'n' roll period and move to a more polished commercial sound however the record did contain some strong material. For me Pump became a pastiche of what the band once was. Still your no.1 choice will prove popular but i will stick to their 70's albums that were the band's heyday but with the notable inclusion of Rock In A Hard Place.
To be honest, I love 'Draw the Line'. When it came out I loved it and still love it to this day. But, because I grew up with Aerosmith I will always gravitate towards their earlier albums as opposed to later albums of the 80's and 90's. Not a huge fan of 'Pump' your favorite. Last track, just don't like it and for me, very out of place. Over the years the band definitely lost their hard rock and raw sound of those favorite early albums like 'Toys' and 'Rocks'. I'm sure a lot of die hard fans that grew up with them could say that the band sold out to commercialism.
Night In The Ruts is a totally underrated Classic; its actually the last album with the original lineup (although Perry left halfway through the recording). Its all Killer no Filler!
Respectable list Brendon. I think Night in the Ruts gets shit because of its backstory and conditions ears because of it. To me, it’s rock and roll at its finest and primal. Victory over despair, as people viewed Beethovens later works. I also love Pandoras Box that’s featured behind you, a set I cherished since it’s release.
Now this is a list I can get behind! Maybe flip 45 and 78. But, I rarely agree with this guy’s rankings and this is no exception. Well, he loves Hysteria and White Lion so… 😃
Aerosmith can be credited with inventing time travel. According to Brendan Snyder, Aerosmith formed in 1970, however, their debut album came out in 1953. Interesting, so the guys in Aerosmith invented time travel, nice.

Do you have the Aerosmith bootleg live box set “king chronicles”. 6 CDs from Japan or know anything about it? I found the CDs at a used record store and am on the fence about buying them because I know those live bootlegs sometimes the sound quality is awful.
No because it’s a bootleg. I’m not a fan of non-official releases except in really rare cases like a unreleased studio album. Then there is a better chance the quality will be good.
We all have our opinions don’t we. But at least I gave you my reasons so you could understand it’s placement. I have no idea why you think it’s buzzard and bonkers. 🤷♂️

Gotta thank my late cousin who introduced Aerosmith to me back in 1989 with Pump he played that cassette over and over again he particularly liked The Other Side..RIP Cuz
One of the truly great rock bands. We can all have ideas about the order of the Albums but what a great catalogue they have. Saw them in England for the first time in 1989 and they rocked.
Night In The Ruts is a hidden gem. Very heavy for them.
Definitely agree. One of the ones I choose to listen to the most
Totally underrated record
def agree , bone to bone, think about it, reefer headed woman and coney island white fish...its a total jam fest, and still has the more stock songs too like no surprize n walkin in the sand, but i think some have issues that some of killer solos r not joe perry, but i have even read the studio train kept is steve hunter who i think was with alice cooper at the time
Great album
No Surprise there
Hey Brendon! Saw the boys back in the mid 90's. Can't believe that was almost 30 years ago! Saw two shows and Aerosmith blew the roof off of The Palace of Auburn Hills which no longer exists. Best song of the sets had to be Seasons of Wither. Great song, girlfriend cried her eyes out. Take care Brendon. AEROSMITH ROCKS❗️😎

Great description, my feelings exactly!!!
Same here
Agreed...Rocks is Aerosmith's best album - followed closely by Toys in the Attic...
@@850cathedral Top to bottom, Rocks is as good as hard rock gets! Yes, Toys In Attic a close second! You have great taste - like mine! Ha ha!
Toys has one of my favorite Aerosmith songs, No More No More. It has a great opening line: Blood stains the ivories on my Daddy's Baby Grand/Ain't seen the daylight since we started this band.
I adore that song man. Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever
Have you heard the live-version of the live-album "Rockin' The Joint" from 2002? No More No More is track number 4. The live-album is quite decent and this song is a real highlight!
No More No More. Great!
10 seconds into the video,
PUMP number one.
Every second of this album is flawless with Steven's voice sounding the best he's put to record.
The stars certainly aligned when making this one.
Nine Lives is also good

Aerosmith has been one of my fav bands for many years! Get a Grip was my first real album that I got into. I do prefer the classic 70's albums for sure.
100% Pump @ 1! From an 89’s entry fan too ;)
I like your name! 😉
Toys is top 5 for sure. Draw the line over Toys is INSANE. Night in the Ruts is dope. Debut album is sick
Interesting ranking Brendon, it's always very interesting to hear your opinions regarding albums i know & love. My own ranking would be different with Toys & Rocks vying for the top spot but we all take away certain things from records that others might not which always makes for interesting discussions. I look forward to any future ranking videos, great content as always.
Yeah I got 1. Rocks. 2. Toys. 3. Get Your Wings. Whatever I have fourth is way, way below those three.
TOYS IN THE ATTIC was a huge let down 👇.
●AEROSMITH was great, but Steven Tyler's voice sounded comical, and the whole album sounded like it was recorded in a tin-can.
●GET YOUR WINGS was perfect. Every song is well written, arranged and played right. It's the greatest 2 guitar rock album ever recorded.
TOYS IN THE ATTIC was a big step down 👇. Loose, inconsistent, uninspired.
For me, I’d say: #1 ROCKS, #2 Toys in the Attic (those switch back and forth all the time). 3. Get Yr Wings, 4. Aerosmith first album. Pump, 5. Night in the Rut 6. Rock in a Hard Place 7. Pandora’s Box I like Just Push Play a lot. Dude the first album is legendary, it’s some Aerosmith fans’ number one favorite album. Listen again man, it ROCKS
I have seen other rankings shows & the host/guests were NOT too thrilled with the debut, either.
I think the LCD is...they're younger than me & they were not a teen in 1973. ;-)
The debut may be "raw" ("Dream On" sounds very polished, though)...raw is what I would want in a Hard Rock debut album.
Great list, probably the most unique Aerosmith list I've ever seen.... but that's what makes these videos fun to watch!
My top 5 is
1. Toys
2. Rocks
3. Done With Mirrors
4. Get Your Wings
5. Draw the Line
6. Just Push Play ....I wanted to give some love for this album, it just misses my top 5 lol
The first Aerosmith album, one of my favorites after Rocks, Toys in the attic, Get your wings
👍
I heard "Music From Another Dimension" yesterday. I really liked it
It’s not as bad as it’s perceived. It should have done better than it did.
I like your albums ranking and short reviews.
Thanks Dan! That’s good to hear.
Rock in a Hard Place was my first Aerosmith album. I didn’t really know much about them and I bought that one solely based on the title. I really like most of side one and some of side two is pretty good.
I agree with you about Toys in the Attic. The hits are what make it, along with Round and Round.
What I love about Permanent Vacation is that Aerosmith did not do a Whitesnake and become a glam metal band but instead made an album with rock - not metal - guitars, and included lots of blues and bits of jazz and whatnot. With all the woodwinds and acoustic guitars, and various flavours, this album really stands out for me in the late eighties.
I agree with Pump being number 1 I can put that album on and it takes me back to when we were kids 🤘
That album is always good! I love every track. If I hear one song I’ve got to play the whole thing.
This will only resonate with people 55 or over. Aerosmith was huge in the 70s, but in the early 80s, it seemed like it was over for them. I liked " when the lightning strikes" in 82, but it didn't tear up the charts.

In my opinion, that's what makes them one of the all time greatest bands...
Another great list! I pretty much agree with your list and your explanations are spot on. Great job.
Rocks all day long I grew up on late 80s Aerosmith. But once I heard Rocks it became one of my all time top albums
Rocks is fantastic!
Great video. It’s made me want to go back and revisit Aerosmith, especially the two early ones you had ranked high. I can’t argue with “Pump” at #1 as for me it’s either that or “Permanent Vacation”, which I have a soft spot for.

My dad has said before that the debut is his favorite album of theirs
Love 70's Aerosmith, especially Rocks!
Not a fan of Aerosmith, but i still enjoyed the video.
I can find something to like from every Aerosmith album ever made. I’d say Just Push Play is the one I listen to the least. What they’ve been able to do over a 50 year career is nothing short of Amazing. Get Your Wings, Rocks, Nine Lives and Permanent Vacation are probably my top favorites.
1. Draw the line, 2. Night in the ruts, 3. Rock and a hard place, 4. Toys in the attic, 5. Permanent vacation. Cheers.
Great list - I very much agree 🙌🏻🎸
Glad to see Rock In A Hard Place ranked at #8. I would actually rank it higher as it is a go-to along with Toys for me.
Please do an album ranking for Mr. Big
Great suggestion!
The Captain’s top five:
1- Toys in the Attic
2- Rocks
3- Get Your Wings
4- Draw the Line
5- Night in the Ruts
HM- Rock in a Hard Place
For me the first 5 albums would be in the top 5. Toss in Night in the ruts, Rock in a hard place, Permanent Vacation, Pump and Get a grip in the next five slots. Done with mirrors next. Bobo and Just put play last. And the others near the end
Enjoyed this ranking Brendon. I prefer the first album over Get Your Wings, and the first album also charted higher. Train Kept A Rollin and Same Old Song and Dance are a bit monotonous IMHO.
Night in the Ruts is a true hidden gem. Very underated. Way better than Music from another dimension IMHO
Everything is Lol
Thank you for this interesting rating! I must admit, I'm not familiar with the last few albums.
Here are my top 5 (no particular order): sftd., Draw the Line, Toys In the Attic, Rocks, Pump.
Glad to see Get A Grip getting some high love. This album is almost perfect. Even the non-singles rock very hard and are catchy. To me, this was their last great album and they haven't topped it in 30 years.
My top 3 favorite albums from Aerosmith are 3. Toys in the Attic 2. Permanent Vacation 1. Pump
I agree, do you have rocks at number 4?
Great band. Great review. Alongside Van Halen the greatest American hardrock band I believe 🤘🏼
Another greatest hits coming out? Good grief, haven't they already released enough of those.... I love that Pandora's box set you have in the background.
Im not sure streaming affected Music From Another Dimension’s sales too much. It was probably a factor, but in 2012 streaming wasn’t quite as ubiquitous as it is now, with people in Aerosmith’s age range still largely purchasing albums.

I love the debut from Aerosmith. There sound wasn't fully realized yet, but I love the rawness of it. "One Way Street" is classic. As far as bottom feeders, I would put "Just Push Play" at the bottom and then "Permanent Vacation" If I never hear Dude Looks Like a Lady or Rag Doll again, I will be more than OK with that.

I prefer the rolling stones over Aerosmith that just me I like early Aerosmith albums
I don't like the Rolling Stones with Ronnie Wood
I’m not crazy about the first record either. My top three are Toys, Rocks, and Perm Vacation.
Hello Brendon how are you feeling I like the Aerosmith Toys in the Attic album that is a good album that is my opinion
Nice Video Brendon. My favorite Aerosmith album is Permanent Vacation. It just really flows well from start to finish. #2 on my list would be Pump, then Get a Grip..
Cool list. I would just have Night In The Ruts higher in the list.
1) First One
2) Toys
3) Rocks
4) Draw
5) Permanent Vacation
6) Pump
7) Rock in a Hard Place
8) Night in the Ruts
9) Music From Another Dimension
Great ranking. Almost forgot to get off the train listening.😅 . Pump was great but less of a throwback to the '70-ties but more commercial arena rock.
great ranking brendon. Pump was produced by bruce fairburn and recorded in vancouver canada. Pump is a good good good album. i really lke it. i only own toys in the attic on cd. im working on aerosmith cds.
mike
friend from
canada eh!!
Hi Brendon will you be doing a QUEEN ranking? 🤘🇬🇧
Have never been a huge fan, but I'm a big fan of wordplay. So my favorite: Night in the Ruts.
That seems to me 15 seems to be the magic number of albums.
I only have two Aerosmith albums I own on cd, ‘Toys In The Attic’ and their last to date ‘Music From Another Dimension’. ‘Rocks’ and their comeback albums ‘Permanent Vacation’ and ‘Pump’ are next on my list.
Love Aerosmith and think Rock in a Hard Place is underrated classic. First time had seen them was this tour w/Pat Travers Band backing them.
My only bitch about Aerosmith is seem to write TOO many ballads on some of their later catalog; that being said, still dig them.
Nice post, Brendon and thank you.
My favorites are
1. Get your Wings
2. Rocks
3. Rock in a Hard Place
4. Toys in the Attic
5. Aerosmith
I’ve seen that “box of fire” floating around on eBay! Is there an unboxing on the channel?
Rocks is 1, Toys is 2 IMO.
Pump at #1 now I know why I like you so much!!!!! Most Aerosmith rankings on here are high on the 70’s stuff and dump on the 80’s and 90’s stuff! You mixed it up very well!!!!! Can’t say I disagree much accept I’d put 9 lives a tad higher and wings over rocks. You have so many greats video series!!!! (Rankings,news,releases,record store………) honestly it’s awesome!!!! Also I love the glam gems! I have another idea though. Many times when I watch a video (like this) I think”if he had a Aerosmith playlist what would be on it?” When I watch the glam videos I think “what would be on his glam playlist?” Could you do some playlist videos? I made a 25 song gnr playlist the other day and I’d be curious what yours would be? Maybe you just like albums?
Omg. I started listening
. Then i heard how low he put Night in the ruts. Lol. He put Music from another dimention ahead of the debut album and Night in the ruts ! Lol. Hahaha. Had to turn it off at that point. . 1)rocks 2)toys 3)get ur wings 4) draw the line 5) night in the ruts
It`s his list, but yeah that`s crazy :D
I wouldn’t even put it in front of Just Push Play which is nowhere near as bad as people make out. MFAD has like two good songs on it. Embarrassing and forgettable album. Honkin is no better. Lucky you turned off early he had Toys In The Attic at 7 Lol
Brendon show his list. Really that’s kinda crappy to put that. Lets see yours instead of criticizing his

I grew up in Colorado and after the 70's Aerosmith was not as big a deal. There, more of the wesr coast rock was a bigger deal. However I love your ranking videos. Thanks Brendon.
Brendon amazing racking love Aerosmith
Thanks Steve, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Done with mirrors would be top five on my list.
Pretty sure I was the 1st guy in my school to buy the Aerosmith debut in the day. Never heard of them. Name was kinda cool & they just looked like a kick ass Hard Rock band. Funny, "Dream On" was the song we usually skipped over. GET YOUR WINGS & TOYS IN THE ATTIC are the ones I am most partial to...+ the debut. One of these daze, I will pick up ROCKS.
Long Live Aerosmith!
You said it! I just filmed an episode of Going Down The Rabbit Hole While Aerosmith that will post soon. Keep an eye out for it. 👍
I agree with #1&2. Just reverse them.
Wings loses points with me finding out Brad and Joe didn’t play solos on some of those bigger songs.
Interesting timing this came out. I just did my Aerosmith ranking not long ago. Rocks and Get Your Wings kinda fight for the number one spot for me.
Pump is my favorite too
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was the first song I heard from them. I wish it could have been on one of their albums. It deserves to be in these album rankings, but too bad it isn't on their album discography. Nowadays, some singers put soundtrack songs on their own albums. I do feel like that is cheating a little though. I think "Come Together" was on that same soundtrack.
Aerosmith "Rocks" is one of the all time great rock albums. Top 5.
interesting but Pump seems to have a lot of love which, as a fan from 1975, was a terrible let down. It did contain 2 tracks namely Hoodoo Voodoo Medicine man and Monkey On My Back which were reminiscent of the the band's more gutsy earlier material but the rest...no thanks. Permanent Vacation really signalled the end of the band's gritty rock 'n' roll period and move to a more polished commercial sound however the record did contain some strong material. For me Pump became a pastiche of what the band once was. Still your no.1 choice will prove popular but i will stick to their 70's albums that were the band's heyday but with the notable inclusion of Rock In A Hard Place.
Great video.🤘
To be honest, I love 'Draw the Line'. When it came out I loved it and still love it to this day. But, because I grew up with Aerosmith I will always gravitate towards their earlier albums as opposed to later albums of the 80's and 90's. Not a huge fan of 'Pump' your favorite. Last track, just don't like it and for me, very out of place. Over the years the band definitely lost their hard rock and raw sound of those favorite early albums like 'Toys' and 'Rocks'. I'm sure a lot of die hard fans that grew up with them could say that the band sold out to commercialism.
Night In The Ruts is a totally underrated Classic; its actually the last album with the original lineup (although Perry left halfway through the recording). Its all Killer no Filler!
Respectable list Brendon. I think Night in the Ruts gets shit because of its backstory and conditions ears because of it. To me, it’s rock and roll at its finest and primal. Victory over despair, as people viewed Beethovens later works. I also love Pandoras Box that’s featured behind you, a set I cherished since it’s release.
Now this is a list I can get behind! Maybe flip 45 and 78. But, I rarely agree with this guy’s rankings and this is no exception. Well, he loves Hysteria and White Lion so… 😃
Aerosmith can be credited with inventing time travel. According to Brendan Snyder, Aerosmith formed in 1970, however, their debut album came out in 1953. Interesting, so the guys in Aerosmith invented time travel, nice.
Pump is also my favorite Aerosmith album and F.I.N.E. is my favorite Aerosmith song.
Rocks Is a classic, one of the greatest album of the seventies
Hoping for a metal church ranking soon :)
Honkin on Bo Bo is one of my favorites
1. Rocks
2. Toys in the Attic
3. Aerosmith
4. Pump
5. Permanent Vacation
6. Get Your Wings
7. Nine Lives
8. Draw the Line
9. Night in the Ruts
10. Honkin on Bobo
11. Done With Mirrors
12. Get A Grip
13. Rock in a Hard Place
14. Just Push Play
15. Music From Another Dimension
The bottom of the list is a mostly composed of either cash-grab soullessness, or drug-drenched decline.
“Pump “ is simply…music from another dimension! Not from this earth..too damn good!
Fine choices. PUMP was a big one for me. Had it on cassette. All I could afford at the time😂
Do you have the Aerosmith bootleg live box set “king chronicles”. 6 CDs from Japan or know anything about it? I found the CDs at a used record store and am on the fence about buying them because I know those live bootlegs sometimes the sound quality is awful.
No because it’s a bootleg. I’m not a fan of non-official releases except in really rare cases like a unreleased studio album. Then there is a better chance the quality will be good.
Toys in the Attic … man, are we listening to the same album ?
Every song is worthy. You See Me Crying is a beautiful ballad.
I didn’t say it’s a bad album, I just don’t like it as much as the other albums that are ahead of it.
Night In The Ruts ... their second best record IMO (after Draw The Line).
Nice list.
The self-titled debut ranking below Done with Mirrors is bizarre to me.
Ranking it below Music From Another Dimension is downright bonkers.
We all have our opinions don’t we. But at least I gave you my reasons so you could understand it’s placement. I have no idea why you think it’s buzzard and bonkers. 🤷♂️
@@BrendonSnyder Cause it was "too raw" for mom´s lil´pussy. Lol.
Sorry but Double Live Bootleg is their best album ever.
After that is Toys In The Attic and then Rocks.
my faves are permanent vacation
and pump 😊👍
Nope... Toys in the Attic is number "eight!" Are you fricken kidding me???
Nope…dead serious! 👍
No way Wings is better than first album or Toys...but then music is all subjective..🤷
Yes, we all hear things differently! To each their own! 👍
