Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith have delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process Listen to "Mama Kin" and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all--here is a young Tyler, before finding his distinctive gritty wail, fronting a simple blues-bar band. But the phenomenal energy and synchronisation that developed between Tyler and Perry starts here, and is followed up by successive wonders. "Dream On" captures plodding despair; "Last Child" bears witness to Tyler's mastery of harmony and shriek; "Back in the Saddle" explodes with swagger. Built from the low-end up, Aerosmith's heavy kick, driving bass lines, steady rhythm guitar and blaring exclamation-point horns create a perfect foundation. And the dirty, harmonic souls of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry do what they do best--put on an over-the-top, flawless show. --Laura Etling

Having only been an intorduced to the wonder that is Aerosmith last year I am still in that wonderful state of hearing old tracks for the first time. This compliation is simply superb. It is 30 tracks of pure rock and roll, which should only ever be played at very high volume. The older tracks at the start of disc one give a great introduction to one of the world's best rock bands, and it just gets better from there, with tracks from the more recent Nine Lives and Just Push Play. All in all a fantastic album for old fans and not so old fans alike

I'm not one who likes to push his taste in music onto other people but this is a great album.
I only knew a handfull of Aerosmith songs when i bought this, and I like you was a bit unsure what I was letting myself in for. When it arrived i couldn't believe i didn't have other Areosmith CD's or even a CD like it.
As always a great mix of songs and it's imposible to pick out a favourite. I prefer CD 2 as it has more of their, if it can be said 'newer' stuff. It's great though and this coming from a person who is also into maroon 5 and gavin degraw.
With 33 songs it's worth every penny!
BUY IT! Become Areosmiths latest fan.

of all the greatest hits and best ofs they've released, this most recent one is easily the best. the songs are all in chronological order, from the first couple of songs from their first album on cd1 to i don't want to miss a thing and jaded on the second disc, plus the two new tracks. all the songs are their GREATEST hits, no b-sides or fillers. there is a great remix of the title track from their previous album, and the new single girls of summer is a great summery song, and the other new track 'lay it down' is slower and chilled out. the limited edition version is even better, because it has 3 bonus tracks including the new spider-man theme, and a cool 3d cover. don't bother with the other anthologies and best of compilations... this is by far their best!

Lots for your Loot
A good intro to Aerosmith. Loads of songs so your favourites are bound to be here, and it's cheap. I can't do the maths, but it's a lot cheaper than buying the albums for the hits. Read more

Copy Protection
Just got mine from a new and used seller and this CD has copy protection on it. Effectively this means that you can't rip CD2 to your PC. How pathetic is that? Read more

Walk this way ?
Good album, but you've gotta be a little hardcore Aerosmith to listen ALL the way through. All the good tracks are there, so you won't miss a thing (sorry !).

Won't play on my computer
Great album, let down by some lame copy protection which means that it isn't recognised by my computer so it can't be ripped for MP3 player listening.

My first...
This album was actually my first introduction to Aerosmith, and I still love it. There`s no better way to fall in love with the band than listening to this.
