Beat the odds is a great friggin album!!

Agree WOT is the best!!

Good job Wes. Ive been a fan since the early seventies and I am guilty for losing touch after Secret Treaties because I thought the departure of style was extreme. I now too love Spectres, Fire, Symbol Remains, etc. You nailed it but my only issue is Agents of Fortune is not their second best. Good job.

Hope your Nana loved it! 👍

DIVER DAWN IS FANTASTIC ALBUM. GOOD CHOICE MAN-!!!

Anyone else that thought he was getting paid 👇

Being British we have a different and nostalgic love of Whitesnake than Americans. Here’s my ranking from worst to first not including the Purple album. 12. Flesh and Blood 11. Good to be Bad 10. Forevermore 9. Restless Heart 8. 1987 7. Slip of the Tongue 6. Slide it In 5. Trouble 4. Lovehunter 3. Come an Get It 2. Saints an Sinners 1. Ready an Willing. Early Blues Rock Whitesnake with Bernie Marsden, Mickey Moody, Neil Murray and Jon Lord was by FAR the best incarnation. Paice and Powell on Drums were pretty damn good too.

Here’s my top 20, (all 20) from worst to first. 20. Angry Machines 19. Strange Highways 18. Lock up the Wolves 17. Master of the Moon 16. Killing the Dragon 15. Magica 14. Carolina County Ball 13. Sacred Heart 12. Trying to Burn the Sun 11. Elf 10. Dream Evil 9. The Devil you Know 8. Dehumanizer 7. Holy Diver 6. Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow 5. Mob Rules 4.Last in Line 3. Rising 2. Heaven and Hell 1. Long Live Rock n Roll (the best album of all time).

Album oriented rock every album of Eüröpe sounds different and unique

Not too shabby buddy! I actually sing this on my page... but... my coworkers friends who taped it didn't tape it ALL!!! so you hear me singing about 35 seconds worth!! :D So you can check it out if you want... but don't laugh ha ha

I was hoping you'd have "Warriors..." higher than 8! That album is pretty much all heavy metal with very little southern influence. It's in my top 5 and my favorite from the Ingram eraj. Great list dude!

Almost 2 years ago, I did this cover never thought that it would hit almost 300 views! Sidenote: I was recording this video with an iPhone 8 Plus (used) and the bad part was that the audio on the camera was very awful and I apologize for the sound in the video. - Wes

Dude, Zeppelin 3 is a masterpiece, i don't care what anyone says!

You have Diver Down at #3? Hell yeah! I love Diver Down! Its actually my favorite VH album lol Great list!

Good list! Personally I'd put The Deed Is Done over the Jimmy Farrar albums. I love Satisfied Man and Stone in Your Heart. But you might have to add to this list -- because Molly Hatchet has a new album coming out in 2024! New lead singer too.

Just discovered your channel and subscribed great stuff

Anyone that rates Slaves and Masters as the worst Deep Purple album def knows what they are talking about. After hearing that I knew you had good Deep Purple taste!

good job my friend am proud of you !! keep it up you do good :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great guitar sound my friend! keep it up!! 🎸

Nice job

At 19:18 I accidentally said “3” instead of “4” because I lost my “train of thought” right there from my sickness, my apologies everyone! - Wes

Great video! Wings of tomorrow is my favorite album too. Have you heard the new song "Hold your head up"?

nice review, thanks for the opinions. I like the more metal sounding Aerosmith albums with Steve Tyler belting out yak-yak-yeows (as opposed to the soulful tender sweet corn syrup high notes that I can't stand to hear). For guitars I definitely prefer the Black Sabbath metal guitar sounds, that sound like the guitars are plugged into a million watts and recorded from an arena that seats 10,000. That's the Classics Live and Classics Live II metal sound. I do appreciate all genres of music including soul, but I like to hear a real soul queen like Aretha Franklin singing them rather than Steven Tyler. And, I like the more metal lyrics rather than the adult-contempory lyrics (boy can't live without girl a moment longer songs). So, given all that, here's my favorite Aerosmith Albums... 1 [A++] PERMANENT VACATION (1987) -- Fast metal guitars and high energy across the whole album. Steve Tyler sings way cool and macho, his most yak-yak-yeow metal screaming album of all. Backbone tracks are opener Hearts Done Time, Magic Touch, Simoriah and The Movie, all metal, all great. drapped around those tracks are high energy heavy blues and fast rockers, including several hit singles. This was the album that started my music collection with 80s metal bands. 2 [A+] DRAW THE LINE (1977) -- although 10 years before GnR's APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION, I hear this as a prequel to that style of music: hard, fast, in your face grit and bad boy lyrics . The production focuses on fast and gritty guitars, just like GnR's classic. It's not as fast as Aerosmith's ROCKS ('76) but it seems heavier because there's no sweet ballad at the end, and the production seems more honest for a hard rock album in that the grit shines through, and guitars especially. And, Steve Tyler is truly at the top of his hard rock image here. 3 [A+] ROCKS (1976) -- this is actually the album that GnR's Slash said inspired him. Every track is perfectly recorded and all the instruments are in full balance. This is a 70s metal masterpiece, complete with Steve Tyler screaming out that he's Back In Saddle for the album opener. The reason I rank it below next years album is the production. Although perfect, it has no personality or instrumental focus. It's so perfect, in fact, that it sounds like a Hollywood soundtrack, every track polished to a shine. It does have the tender sweet ballad at the tale end, where they draw the line at all the hard rockin' to cut the edge off. 4 [A+] TOYS IN THE ATTIC (1975) -- Masterpiece of song execution start to finish, including the orchestra on the final ballad, and the blues remake tune. Such a variety of tunes from 70s metal to Rolling Stones style rockers amped up just a little bit. I place it here because of the eclectic variety of tunes bunched together, and as a whole album listener, I enjoy sticking to one genre the whole album, or at least for a good long while, rather than the song writers playing hop scotch with my ears and mood. 5 [A] DONE WITH MIRRORS (1985) -- Aerosmith's most macho sounding album, and most even sounding album start to finish, and their most live sounding album. It's not the heaviest, or fastest or catchiest, but sounds like the most honest of a production of their entire catalog in that there are zero producer enhancement tricks to make something "catchy" for the radio: zero choruses, zero horn sections, zero organs or pianos or zero producer sound affects. This is the one album where the band, and the band along, lets the music do the talking start to finish, and all macho rock, zero sweet soul songs about a boy's lost affection from a girl 6 [A] ROCK IN A HARD PLACE (1982) -- Aerosmith introduces their electrified 80s sounding metal guitars. The rhythms are awesome and beats are fast, among their fastest albums overall. Lightning Strikes, Bolivian Ragamuffin, title track, Bitches Brew and Jailbait are bad to the bone, heavy and energetic. Cry Me a River is among Steven Tyler's best soulful sweet vocals, and whereas I love to hear him sing so sweetly here, I can't take that same effort from the ballads on later albums. This album saved Aerosmith with Joe Perry and Brad Whitford abandoned the band. 7 [A] GET YOUR WINGS (1974) -- a 70s rockin' masterpiece with an ole style highly electrified 70s sound on each track. Love the guitar sound even more than Toys or Rocks, the producer really got it right and nailed the balance. This is their most Led Zepplin sounding album, really guitar oriented. Steve Tyler sounds great too.

Overnight Sensation is really good. I definitely wouldn’t rank that one last, not even close actually, but each to their own. Other than that the rest of your ranking seems pretty close to mine other than 1916 which I’d also rank a lot higher, maybe even number 1.

❤

I think somehow you have the only Creed album ranking video on KZbin!

Great going, Wes!.....interesting input! Been a Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship fan since early 1978, just before the 'Earth' album was unveiled to the public. I'd have to say that 'Spitfire' is my favorite of all the JS studio albums. It seems more in line w/the Airplane. It's great seeing a younger generation enjoying their music! To me, the Jefferson Starship was to the mid-to-late 70's, what the Airplane was to the mid-to-late 60's. Both bands held a mirror up to the world, showing what each era was reflecting upon itself. The Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship has always been my favorite musical force. Thank you for posting this, Wes. Go ride the music!! Peace.

A mellor cancón

VH III is 12, ADKOT is 11, OU812 is 10 (very poorly produced), Fair Warning is 9, Diver Down is 8, Balance is 7 (underrated album but needs to have the song Crossing Over which is the extra song on the Japanese album version. Fantastic song!), WACF is 6 (And the cradle will rock was the first song I had ever heard by VH and I couldn’t get over the beginning of the song. Phenomenal!, 5150 is 5 (Love Walks and Dreams are masterpieces), VH II is 4, 1984 is 3, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is 2 ( The Dream is Over is the best song on this album), VH 1 saved rock n roll and started the Rock hair bands in the 80’s. All of Van Halen albums being ranked are completely subjective because they all are incredible minus VH III. My list with this band changes all of the time. After Sammy left the band suffered immensely. Great list!

Very nice vocal and acoustic cover !

!! heyo nice one my friend have a nice day :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heyo nice one my friend have a nice day :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, Lynyrd Skynyrd will release one final studio album and dedicate it to Gary!

nice version.

Nice rendition even in the dark!!

I guess you can say 1975 doesn't sound like 1968 ? I like Iron Butterflys album from 1968 the best .

You might be shocked but I don't have any of thir albums on cd or Vinyl? some bands of the 70's took photos of them for the album cover as opposed to a non band photo? look at Lynyrd Skynyrd ? what's wrong with the Bee Gee's? if it were me I would put an album from 1992 in last place and move the album from 1979 up higher? nice list.

I think when a decade ends a band or tv show isn't the same. if you ask card collectors which cards do you like better say Ryan's from the 70's or 80's most people will say 70's same with Schmidt. So I understand what your saying about in through the out door. Led Zeppelin 1 is far better than no.6 I understand it's your list but I would put 1 in front of 3 just saying? I would Zeppelin 2 is in there top 5? this is how I would rank them 8. in through the out door 7. Presence 6.. 3 5.. Houses of the holy 4. Physical Graffitti 3. 2 2. 1 1. Zoso the top 4 can be changed around. this is how I would rank them if I had to. nice list though.

A tribute to Chris Cornell.

Paich was on all the albums after Mindfields, but they got an additional keyboardist, Greg Phillinganes, for Falling in Between.

Love your video, although I would have ranked Fahrenheit, The Seventh One, and maybe Toto XIV higher. It was really cool how you gave so much backstory! Hope your videos get seen by more people. 🙂

Nice ranking a few albums out of order. but first place is the correct one.

I hope you're doing better

I love ACDC live

I like this song, I got a voice that changes with my mood along with other interface

Blue Oyster cult in 1988 doesn't work. how would you compare their 1988 album to these bands as far as talent goes better tunes 1. Iron Maiden- 7th son 2. Judas Priest- Ram it down 3. Queens Ryche - Operations 4. Ozzy - No Rest for the Wicked how would you compare? an interesting band i'm only familiar with their hits Burning for you , Godzilla, Don't Fear the Reaper?

I like your music Shannon

I would switch music from another dimision with 9 lives. I understand 9 lives isn't Def Leppard Pyromania or Kiss Destroyer but it looks better than the 2012 album just saying. it's your list. so how many stars would you give albums 15 up to 11? how many stars for Rock in a hard place and done with Mirrors? 5 stars would be like Ac/dc - Highway to hell and For those about to rock 4 stars would be like Madonna's debut 2 stars would be like Kiss Carnival souls how many stars out of 5 would you give each album from 15 down to 11? so for that time period if somebody asked you how would you categorize Aerosmith for what was out would you say Rock or Heavy Metal? which debut do you like best and how would you compare these albums to Aerosmith's? Jimi Hendrix are you experinced Kiss - self titled Black Sabbath - self titled Def Leppard - On through the Night Van Halen -1? ranking only the important albums 11. Get a grip 10.. Pump 9. Permenant Vacation 8.. Done with Mirrors 7. Rock in a hard place 6. Night in the Ruts 5. Get your wings 4. Draw the line 3. self titled 2. Rocks 1. Toys in the Attic
