Brad Whitford deserves more respect. Yeah, Joe Perry did most of the shredding back then

But Brad takes the lead here and this is a stone cold 8 track tape era classic

Are also great tracks ...

I also like the ballad at the end of Rocks ... edit: Remembered that one ... Home Tonight

Edit again ... You See My Crying on TITA. Great song and Tyler's vocals are freaking incredible on it.

Those first four albums are the best produced by any American rock band. The power ballads:

Dream On
Seasons of Whither
You See me Cryin'
Home Tonight

Stephen killed it on that song, and it's catchy AF.

Of the latter-year stuff ... What It Takes from Pump, hands-down the best.

What a line. What delivery. Stephen Tyler is almost as good as Dylan or Waters when it comes to lyrics.

But the DELIVERY on that line in that song (and all of them in that song really) ... is freaking awesome.
