Toys in the Attic
toys in the Attic Originally released in 1975, this was Aerosmith’s breakout recording. Listeners only familiar with their more recent, post-comeback material may be surprised; like their other albums from the 1970s, toys has a strong blues inflection, as indicated by their cover of “Big Ten Inch Record,” which also shows that Aerosmith has never lacked raunchiness or innuendo. There’s also the original (pre-Run-D.M.C.) version of “Walk This Way,” and the classic “Sweet Emotion.” This is classic Aerosmith at its gritty, streetwise best; they may have been derivative, but it really doesn’t matter, then or now: it’s all in good fun. –Genevieve Williams
Customer Review: Great Rock n Roll
Withstands the passage of time. Brings back memories of College days. Much simpler times….
Just great meaty rock and roll.

Future games Customer Review: Kirwin saves the day again
Danny Kirwins 3 gems…
Woman Of 1000 Years - Sands Of Time - Sometimes are real treats and save this otherwise mediocre album with newcomer Bob Welch who wrote the haunting title track, McVie’s Show me a Smile is also a highlight.
