Aerosmith's 1973 Song Flopped—Until Its 1975 Re-Release Made It Their Best Song of All Time

Aerosmith, the American rock band hailing from Boston, first burst onto the music scene with their eclectic mix of hard rock and blues in the early 1970s. And throughout the years, thanks to their plethora of hit songs, such as "Sweet Emotion," "Walk This Way," and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," they've cemented themselves as rock 'n' roll royalty. Although the band has retired from making new music, demand for them remains high, and in 2024, they treated fans to a farewell concert. But despite their talent, the group wasn't an overnight success. In fact, one of their biggest and most defining songs, "Dream On," was a total flop when it was first released, that is, until they re-released it years later.
