A is for Aerosmith

See those guys up there?

They might look familiar to most people.

They can boast a whopping 14 albums, they can tell you that they've had 21 singles hit the Billboard Top 40, an entire version of Guitar Hero has been created in their honor.

And yes, they even have a ride dedicated to their amazing chemistry as a band at Hollywood Studios in Disney World.

Yes, yes, fellow music lovers, we're talking about Aerosmith.

If you haven't listened to Aerosmith, we will fix that right now.

Walk This Way - Aerosmith

That link above will take you to one of my personal favorite songs, Walk This Way.

How about we talk why this song (and by extension, the entire band) deserves the musical recognition that they have had?

• The infectious drum beats
• The catchy guitar riff
• The amazing vocals of Steven Tyler

Now, someone tell me that they have no reason to be at the top of their game.

Let's dissect this song down to the core and see what makes it so perfect:

Infectious Drum Beats

When Walk This Way opens up, the first thing you hear when you close your eyes is a bouncy, pop, yet rock beat. The double bass between hits makes you want to get up and rock out. Simple, yet affective rhythm. 

Catchy Guitar Riffs

The C Major key played in a slightly distorted tone worked wonders for this song. i don't know about anybody else, but I can't imagine the song being played with any other effects, or a different key. The combination makes this the song to listen to while driving down the highway with windows down.

Steven Tyler and His Vocals

WOW! Not many people can sound so loud, raspy and halfway screaming while making it sound epic. Its raw, passionate and full of adrenaline. What's even more amazing, though, is how he can tap into YOUR personal emotions with the greatest of ease.

So there you have it.

Easily one of the greatest rock bands of all time. 

Come back tomorrow for another artist - who knows? You may have never even heard of them until now!
