Rag Doll” was featured on Aerosmith’s “Permanent Vacation” album, released in 1987. Featuring a strong drum intro, the song is one of the first songs that prove that Aerosmith could still be relevant after becoming popular in the 1970s. This song, like many others by Aerosmith, is about sex. Most of the lyrics were written by Steven Tyler and Jim Vallance, a Canadian songwriter whose credits include “Summer Of ’69” and several other Aerosmith songs. The riff was created by Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, and the bass line was created by Vallance. 17. Kings and Queens Seasons of Wither is one of the band’s most melancholy songs, a minor-key ballad with a simple but beautiful melody. Steven Tyler said he wrote this song during the winter. Believed to be inspired by his then-girlfriend/future wife Cyrinda Foxe, this song was released on the band’s 1974 “Get Your Wings” album. Although it didn’t become a hit until two years later when it was included on the band’s Greatest Hits album, it shot to No. 21 in 1976 and has remained one of Aerosmith’s most popular songs. Tyler’s lyrics are poetic and heartfelt as he sings about love found, love lost and the changing seasons of life.
