Aerosmith - "Get A Grip"

One of my all time favorite albums. It's the one that launched the career of Alicia Silverstone after her starring role in the video for succesful single "Cryin'". This was the first Aerosmith album I bought, although I now have more. I bought it during my senior year in high school after a few of the songs had been released for radio and I found I still liked them even though they were played to death. I have fond memories of cruisin' around in the orange Datsun 710, playing this on a portable stereo that I had jury rigged to draw power from the cigarette lighter. It was my default choice for getting pumped before tennis matches that spring. There are a few filler tracks on here, but the others are such great rock songs that it just doesn't matter. The production quality is second to none. It simply sounds phenomenal. This album, probably more than any other I own, will give a person rock star dreams. Aerosmith had several hit songs from this album and garnered an entire new generation of fans, cementing themselves as icons of american rock music. You can find this stellar piece of grinding guitar and screaming vocals at Amazon.
