Playlist Preview: Aerosmith

They’ve inspired the likes of Metallica, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Bon Jovi.

Their work has spawned 25 gold albums, four Grammys, an MTV Icon award, induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and a Hollywood actress that can speak Elvish.

Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer. They’re collectively known as the “Bad Boys of Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band.” But you probably know them better as Aerosmith.

Check out Thursday's Shelby Star for my five favorite Aerosmith songs or see the list - with music videos of said songs - here on the blog tomorrow.
