About this album

Rocks is Aerosmith at their hardest and leanest, a blues-rock benchmark that helped define mid-1970s hard rock. Released in 1976, the album sharpened the band’s bar-room swagger into a tougher, more urgent sound, with Steven Tyler’s snarling vocals driving riffs that are all muscle and bite. Produced by Aerosmith and Jack Douglas, it became a major influence on later hard rock and metal acts, earning lasting praise for its raw energy and musicianship. Its reputation has only grown over time, with songs such as Back In the Saddle and Last Child remaining central to the band’s legacy.
