Just a few short years ago, it seemed like Aerosmith might be done forever. Steven Tyler was in rehab after falling off a stage in South Dakota, and the band was so angry that they were openly discussing the idea of bringing in a new singer. A furious Tyler began talking about a solo career, and he took a gig with American Idol in order to establish "Brand Tyler."

Thankfully, the band patched things up and are about to hit the road in support of Music from Another Dimension!, their first record of new material since 2001's Just Push Play.

Now we have a question for you: What is your single favorite Aerosmith song? Are you into the old-school shit like "Dream On" and "Toys in the Attic," the 1980s comeback songs like "Rag Doll" and "Angel" or the latter-day tunes like "Jaded" or "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing?" Vote for whatever song you want, but please only vote once and only for a single song.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
