1976: Aerosmith - Rocks
If you read my list of my 30 most influential albums and my blogs so far on loved albums from each year of my life, it should be apparent, more than anything, I like ROCK! I listen to blues, jazz, bluegrass, ect...sometimes but the ROCK is what moves and inspires me and elicits catharsis. Rocks is my favorite Aerosmith album and as the name implies, it just rocks! Rocks starts out with Back in the Saddle which is very cool, Steven Tyler's high vocals at the end, insane! Last Child is very groovy. Rats in the Cellar, a good, fast rocker. I always loved the heaviness of Nobody's Fault, big drums! Get a Lead Out, a cool melody. Lick and a Promise, another rocker! I haven't listened to Aerosmith in years but they are one solid-ass rock n' roll band! They have a great attention for detail which pushes songs over the top. I forget sometimes how great a vocalist Steven Tyler is. People think about Robert Plant for those high 70...
