What Are You Listening To?

[LMD]

from my library (cd)



Nice to hear Steven before he cheapened himself. One of rocks greatest screamers. With the size of that mouth, it
had to emit something great. Gene Simmons tongue could fit in there twice. If not for the two covers on here, would
love this one. Those bring it down a bit. A super group shouldn't cover a super group, as with Come Together. Only
thing worse is trying to do a classic girl group like the Shangri-Las with Remember. Other than those, a fine album,
considering the scant 10 tracks. Slim for a super group greatest package, but this was before cd's took over. Even
so, this covers the groups first six albums and falls short of a good view of those early years. The compilation has
become the groups best selling album, going what they call diamond status with 11 million copies sold. Walk This Way
has always been my favorite from those early years, and I always hated the Run DMC slaughtering. And Big Ten Inch
Record should have been on here.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Remember (Walking In The Sand)

Best Track - Walk This Way

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a muff and
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

A just gimme a kiss

School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way

A just gimme a kiss

so many albums, so little time

Ashamed to say this was the first Aerosmith album I ever owned... Bought earlier this year in the discount bin at CVS. GREAT album and I really "stuffed" up not putting in the effort to listen to them more. Eventually I'll have to get "Toys in the Attic." I'm appalled at how long its taken me to get into them compared to other bands whose discography I've blown through.

Anyways, I'm listening to;


"Ambition" - Tommy Shaw

I always forget about this album in my collection but its such a beauty, if you're into this type of music. The album is essentially a giant soundtrack for Miami Vice. Its not based around Miami Vice, but every time I hear it I picture the entire Miami Vice scene. Its just so great in that sense. It may not have been critically acclaimed (Or even decent according to the only review I can find, a 2.5/5 from Allmusic), but its a wonderfully fun album. The synth's mix with Tommy's guitar and light voice to create a fun throwback album. I guess at the time it was unoriginal, and it probably still is, but it just feels like the definition of the Miami Vice era. Years after the era ended, this album is good clean nostalgia for those who lived through it (Daydreams and fantasies for the young 'uns like myself who didn't. ) and all-around fun.
