Aerosmith - Big Ones

Few comebacks in rock and roll history have been as amazing as that of Aerosmith. Their triumphant return to the charts in the '80s not only rekindled the band's earlier success, but also significantly surpassed it. With their top 20 hits "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)," "Ragdoll," and the top 10 power ballad, "Angel," the group proved they had even more fire left in their fight than anyone could have imagined. Leaving behind its reckless lifestyle, the band sacrificed none of their rowdy rock and roll. "Ragdoll" and "Love in an Elevator" built upon Aerosmith's raunchy blues approach to hard rock, complete with singer Steven Tyler's howl in the best form of his career. Big Ones includes these rockers along with the spooky Grammy-winner "Jamie's Got a Gun," and the slower but still hard-edged "Crazy." Other high points of the new and improved band are reflected in "The Other Side" and the anthem "Eat the Rich." --Steve Gdula Amazon.com

that was one of the C D's I was looking for...

This is one of my favorites, the cd is great, so all I have to say is thank's. May 12, 2008

Greatest compilation not including the 70 s hits.

This songs are so powerful, soulful (thanks to Steven Tyler), and rock and rollish you have to give them a chance to them. They have beautiful melodies, powerful vocals and guitars (and drums!)!
This is an excellent compilation for an excellent rock and roll band such as Aersomith, period 1986-1993 included in this disc. Rock On! March 11, 2008

Missing a few Gems

This album is full of Aerosmith's greatest hits of the late 80's and 90's but it is missing a lot of the best songs from albums as well. I would of gotten rid of Cryin', Crazy, What it Takes for starters. The album already has Amazing and Angel what other power ballads do you need? You certainly don't need 5 slow songs in a row. The album could of used

Magic touch
Young Lust
F.I.N.E*

to give it a boost Just to name a few. The album is worth the money, and if you are a fan you probably already own it along with 5 or 10 of their albums. The first Greatest Hits album is better, if you are just getting into Aerosmith I recommend buying the first Greatest hits album and Gems, to give you a feel of how great this band is. Then buy this album and explore the back catalog for yourself. September 29, 2007

Good Compilations Of Songs

If you want a good compilations of newer songs of Aerosmith then this CD is for you. "The Other Side" is one of my favorite songs of Aerosmith. This song really rocks and has a good beat to it. Other good songs are "Love In An Elevator." Just listen to the words of this song and it can make your imagination run wild as if you were in an elevator with the opposite sex. "Dude Looks Like A Lady" is another classic song from Aerosmith along with "Jamie's Got A Gun." Don't tick Jamie off or you will be sorry. A beautiful ballad on this CD is "Angel." A very beautiful love song. The CD ends with "Livin' On The Edge." What a way to end a CD with a song like this. Quite ironic that they would put this song last on this CD. 15 classics on 1 CD. What a good buy!!! July 30, 2007
