Look Back (1975): Toys in the Attic" by Aerosmith

1975 was an incredible year for music (and we'll look back at some more of these soon)...the year that saw chart topping songs like "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "I'm Sorry/Calypso", "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Shining Star", "Feelings" and "Fire"....the year we lost legends like T-Bone Walker and Dave Alexander (of The Stooges), and future legends were born like Big Boi and Wes Borland and Lauryn Hill....the birth of bands like Iron Maiden and Sex Pistols and the mighty Motorhead, and the death of bands the Amboy Dukes (launching the career of Ted Nugent) and Alice Cooper Band (launching the solo career of Alice Cooper) ...the year of "Journey to Love" by Stanley Clarke, Heart's debut album. "Dreamboat Annie", "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen, "A Night at the Opera" by Queen, "Physical Graffiti" by Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" dominated the charts....the year of debut albums from Journey and Manhattan Transfer and others.....and so much more!

Today, however, we'll look back at the classic Aerosmith album, "Toys in the Attic"!
