About this album

Permanent Vacation marked Aerosmith’s commercial and creative return, reviving the band with sharper songs and a more disciplined hard-rock sound. Released in 1987, the album followed a difficult early-1980s stretch and helped re-establish the group on rock radio and MTV. Working with outside songwriters and producers, Aerosmith streamlined its bluesy Southern rock roots into a hook-heavy, arena-sized update, led by signature cuts such as Dude (Looks Like a Lady), Rag Doll and Angel. The result became one of the band’s key late-era records, widely seen as the album that set up their 1990s resurgence.
