If you really like Aerosmith but can't afford to buy all the albums, then this is the one for you. Released in 1994, it features pretty much all of the songs that they should be rememebred for - like Love in an Elevator, Janie's Got a Gun, Cryin etc. Considering the band broke up for quite a while pre-Permanent Vactation, you'd never know it from the quality tracks on this album, which takes the best of Permanent, Get a Grip and Pump and puts them all onto one album. 'Livin on the Edge' is the sort of tune that should be listened to whilst driving - it's a definite driving along at full pelt witht he stereo on full blast - sort ...  Read the complete review

I can remember my brother coming home with a limited edition Gold Disc of Aerosmith "Toys in the Attic" . I think he paid over £30 for it from Tower Records at the time in the import section and it was this he brought home as well as "Get a Grip" that got me completely hooked on Aerosmith.

One surprising omission I feel is that 'Walk This Way' the co-operative track with Run DMC is not included. Although perhaps it was predominantly a Run DMC track it was carried by the Aerosmith contribution. It could be argued it probably also partly re-launched Aerosmith at a comparatively barren part of their career. Tracks which have been included are some of the ...  Read the complete review

Aerosmith, fronted by Steve Tyler's infectious vocals and Joe Perry's fat riffs, have left their music mark on three decades of rock. Big ones collects are great number of their hits and puts them on one album. There is the hugely famous 'Dude (Look like a lady)', 'love in an elevator', and 'Eat the rich'. If you like ballads then there is 'Angel', showing that Aerosmith really are one of the greatest bands ever. Sadly, 'Walk this way' is not on this album. ...  Read the complete review
