- Dream On (1973) Arguably rock’s first real power ballad and inarguably one of its greatest, “Dream On” proved that there was depth and sensitivity behind Aerosmith’s swagger.
- Mama Kin (1973) During their early days, Aerosmith famously lived and rehearsed in a band house near Boston University, so they knew a few things about how it felt to be a young guy turned loose in the city.

- "Sweet Emotion" From: Toys in the Attic. The band's first Top 40 appearance includes one of the best uses of a talk box ever recorded (Perry is the manipulated voice you hear at the beginning of the song).
- "Back in the Saddle" From: Rocks. The opening song on the band's fourth album just cracked the Top 40, but it's another sturdy rocker built on a killer riff and a solid performance by the entire group.
