Hey Jamel, i have a song suggestion for you to react to... From the album "Maverick a Strike" by Finley Quaye the song "Even after all". The bass line is great. On the same album there is a Bob Marley cover of Sun is Shinning named "Sunday Shining" which became a hit. Hope you see this and hopefully you will eventually react to the above mentioned... Peace and love from Greece 🇬🇷

Such a shame we didn't realize just how great the music we grew up with really was at the time. We were inundated with so much of it that we just thought it was normal. Now we can see in hindsight how exceptional what we considered normal was.

[@clydekimsey7503]

My thoughts exactly

[@MichaelColombo]

The music never got worse, it just got decentralized. How wonderful that you now can explore thousands and thousands of artists and discover exactly the type of music you love, instead of letting the radio spoon feed it to you. I love Aerosmith, but the fact is there is no "normal" today, but thankfully "exceptional" is in even greater abundance, and there for the picking.

[@clydekimsey7503]

@@MichaelColombo yes, music is decentralized and there are 1000s of ways to find new groups, but finding quality music is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Basically, music after 1990 relies more on beat and emotion and less on melody. Im more into the melody, so I'm SOL

In 1974 Steven was singing with a deeper voice. The second album was when he was discovering his real singing voice.

@@JoeSmith-ey2xp I BOUGHT the album in 1975, when I was 16, and along it's binder, it only read "Aerosmith," which means it's a self-titled album. People informally called it the "Dream On" album because of its most well-known song.

[@JoeSmith-ey2xp]

@@justineapril7922 Believe what you will, I bought it also with the sticker on it just like every physical album I ever saw. Do you live maybe in the north east? Maybe because they were from there they maybe didn't put that sticker on it because they already had a following that they didn't yet in places like Detroit where I'm from. "Dream on" was a mega hit on all the stations in Detroit. I'm sure the sticker was to draw attention to the the fact that song was on that album and like I said it was on all albums in ever record store in town. To bad this is what you focused on in my story, all I was trying to convey was my love for this group and why this song is special to me.

Me and my best friend snuck into the living room on that August night in 1974 and turned on the TV set. We sat as close as we could to the TV and didn't dare turn the volume up too much. We were 10 years old thinking we were so cool watching Aerosmith.

A lot of males have some type of color blindness (compared to females). I know an artist who is partially color blind. It doesn’t affect his work (besides, does anyone consider “tan” a crucial color to see? I’d argue that seeing “green” as “blue” might make the world prettier).
