Dream On - Aerosmith - MP3 instrumental karaoke

American rock band Aerosmith has released a number of massive hits over the course of their long career, but perhaps the group’s most significant song is their 1973 breakthrough hit “Dream On.” The song was written by frontman Steven Tyler, who drew inspiration from his father’s piano playing to come up with the chord progression. The song is a power ballad, famous for its emotive tone and building climax, leading into Steven Tyler’s trademark screams. The song was released in 1973 and peaked at Number 59 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, but its popularity continued to grow over the years. In 1975, a slightly shortened version of the song was re-issued to even greater success, reaching Number 6 on the Top 100 chart and becoming a classic rock staple. “Dream On” was included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #173 on its list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
