Rocks

Aerosmith被很多人誉为是美国最强的硬摇滚乐队，这张Rocks是他们早期最有代表性的专辑之一。滚石杂志的编辑认为，如果说Toys in the Attic还只是小试身手，那么在这张Rocks里他们算是充分放开手脚了。这张专辑曾经排到Billboard专辑榜的第三位，有400万以上的销量，同时也是涅槃乐队主唱Kurt Cobain最欣赏的一张Aerosmith。

本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第176位。

Few albums have been so appropriately named as Aerosmith's 1976 classic Rocks. Despite hard drug use escalating among bandmembers, Aerosmith produced a superb follow-up to their masterwork Toys in the Attic, nearly topping it in the process. Many Aero fans will point to Toys as the band's quintessential album (it contained two radio/concert standards after all, "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion"), but out of all their albums, Rocks did the best job of capturing Aerosmith at their most raw and rocking. Like its predecessor, a pair of songs have become their most renowned — the menacing, hard rock, cowboy-stomper "Back in the Saddle," as well as the downright viscous funk groove of "Last Child." Again, even the lesser-known tracks prove essential to the makeup of the album, such as the stimulated "Rats in the Cellar" (a response of sorts to "Toys in the Attic"), the Stonesy "Combination," and the forgotten riff-rocker "Get the Lead Out." Also included is the apocalyptic "Nobody's Fault," the up-and-coming rock star tale of "Lick and a Promise," and the album-closing ballad "Home Tonight." With Rocks, Aerosmith appeared to be indestructible.
