The Boston-born rock band, Aerosmith, has had a long career spanning six decades. In 1973, the band released its debut self-titled record, the first of its 15 studio releases. Along the way, the band has released hit after hit while frontman Steven Tyler shrieked and guitarist Joe Perry wailed on his six-string.
Over the years, Aerosmith has put out some of the most recognizable and indelible songs in American rock music. The band has also put out some of the most memorable music videos (hello, Alicia Silverstone!). Here, we celebrate the flamboyant, flaunting group with a list of their Top 10 jams.
