About Aerosmith
Aerosmith developed a guitar-centered rock sound in Boston, with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry joined by Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer. Their 1973 debut introduced Dream On and Mama Kin, while Toys in the Attic and Rocks expanded the studio catalog during the following years. The later Permanent Vacation and Pump albums place that riff vocabulary beside larger melodic refrains and ballad arrangements. The group also recorded the Armageddon soundtrack song I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, extending this range into orchestral pop.
