I've been revisiting Aerosmith's 70's albums as I'd only heard Rocks and Toys In The Attic up until recently, with my main intro to the band being Pump and Get A Grip. When I was younger I preferred that era of the band, but now I think their 1970's stuff is absolutely unbeatable. So I thought I'd rank them in the order I prefer them. Studio albums only, not the live bootleg: 1: Rocks - Simply one of the greatest albums EVER!! 2: Toys In The Attic - Very close decision, but there's a harder rocking, darker feel about Rocks that just wins out. 3: Get Your Wings - When they first found their sound. Awesome - all killer no filler. 4: Night In The Ruts - I've heard some negative things about this one, but it's very underrated and surprisingly good considering how messed up they were at the time. 5: Debut - There are a couple of classics on this - Dream On and Mama Kin - but they hadn't found their voice yet. Still a great blues rock record anyway. 6: Draw The Line - Some good stuff but the one where you can really hear the sound of a band who are completely wasted. Quite a disappointing follow up to Rocks really.
