A song a day: Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
For years I paid out on my friend Claire for liking Aerosmith. No matter how much shit I gave her, she always went back to her central argument 'dude, it's all about Sweet Emotion.' And you know what? She's totally right as this song rocks with a swagger that belies all my reservations about the band. Not even Dude looks like a lady can ruin this... maybe...

A month on the road and I'll be eaten' from ya hand……..dude looks likes like his got a couch to crash on in london for life………
ReplyDeleteNB Aerosmith were my first live band that I saw. Sydney Entertainment centre, 12 years old, chaperoned by my friend's father, delusions that Joe Perry would ask me on stage to finish off the lyrics to 'Back in the Saddle' and the finest polyester polka dot matching top and flared bottoms that Target (nay, Tar-ghaaaaay) had to offer.
Sweet, sweet (emotion) times………
N.N.B Aerosmith is all about pre-1978. Dude looks Like a Lady is entirely another band as far as I'm concerned......as is Pump (although my dad read in some acoustics magazine that Pump is a great record for testing the entire spectrum of a new sound system but melodically and lyrically redundant). I only bought Pump on vinyl to test the acoustics, of course. And anything Steven Tyler does now or in the future is removed from any Sweet Emotion sentiment etc.....
