Rather than invent a ranking, this guide offers a clearly labeled listening shortlist drawn from Aerosmith’s official Greatest Hits track lists. It is a starting point for fans asking, “What’s Aerosmith’s best song?”—not a poll result.
Ten Aerosmith songs to start with
This editorial shortlist is selected for range and recognition, not ranked by votes. It draws on songs included in the band’s official Greatest Hits CD and Greatest Hits LP listings. Those track lists establish that the songs appear on the releases; they do not establish a popularity order.

- “Dream On” — A defining early song and a natural first stop for a new listener. It appears on both official Greatest Hits formats.
- “Walk This Way” — A signature track included on both formats, with a rhythmic drive that makes it an easy introduction to the band’s harder-edged side.
- “Sweet Emotion” — Another selection on both releases, showcasing the band’s groove-led sound.
- “Mama Kin” — An early-catalog pick included on the Greatest Hits CD, useful for hearing beyond the best-known later singles.
- “Same Old Song And Dance” — A brisk, early-era choice from the CD track list.
- “Back In The Saddle” — A forceful rocker included on the CD and a change of pace from the more familiar ballad selections.
- “Dude (Looks Like A Lady)” — A major hit represented on both the CD and LP.
- “Rag Doll” — A later hit included on both formats, adding a looser, swaggering feel to the shortlist.
- “Cryin’” — A prominent ballad-era choice that appears on both releases.
- “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” — A late-career hit included on both formats and a useful contrast with the band’s earlier material.
Why this is a shortlist, not a poll ranking
The official track lists are selection guides, not ranked results. The Associated Press’s report on Aerosmith’s 2023 farewell-tour opening described “Dream On,” “Walk This Way,” and “Sweet Emotion” as enduring songs, while noting that the band faced tough choices fitting its catalog into a two-hour set; “Dude (Looks Like A Lady)” and “Train Kept A-Rollin’” were among notable songs omitted from that performance. A set list or compilation can show which songs were selected for that purpose, but neither proves how readers voted.
Fan discussions likewise show how personal the question is. Recommendations span recognizable hits as well as songs such as “Last Child,” “Toys in the Attic,” and “Love in an Elevator”; those conversations are individual opinions, not representative surveys. A genuine reader-voted top 10 would require the actual poll results.

How to choose your own Aerosmith top 10
There is no single neutral measure of “best.” Decide what you want your list to represent before comparing songs:
- For a career overview: include songs from different periods, rather than filling the list with one era.
- For musical variety: balance hard-driving rockers with ballads and groove-oriented tracks.
- For familiarity: prioritize songs you already know, while leaving room for less familiar album-era material.
- For influence or live appeal: treat those as separate criteria; a song’s place on a hits collection does not by itself measure either one.
- For a new listener: start with the ten songs above, then branch into the broader catalog based on which styles you prefer.
Where to hear the songs together
Aerosmith’s official store lists a Greatest Hits CD with a broad career-spanning selection and a shorter Greatest Hits LP. The band also announced its Ultimate Greatest Hits collection in 2023, including a 44-track Super Deluxe edition and multiple formats. These are listening companions, not evidence of a reader poll or definitive ranking.
