after spending time on the boston club circuit under the tutelage of their first manager, frank connelly, the band began working with new york managers steve leber and david krebs. leber describes the band as "the closest thing i've ever seen to the rolling stones". in early 1972, the managers arranged the gig at the legendary nightclub max's kansas city to showcase the group to record company executives. they subsequently signed a record deal with columbia records in 1972 and released their eponymous debut album in 1973. this was followed by their second album, "get your wings" in 1974. around this time, aerosmith continued to tour wherever they could and opened for bands like mott the hoople. the band had a minor hit in "dream on", which peaked at number 59 in 1973, but aerosmith did not break into the mainstream until the back-to-back releases of their next sets of albums, "toys in the attic" (1975) and "rocks" (1976). in 1975, they achieved their first top-40 hit in "sweet emotion". soon after, "dream on" was re-released and hit number six in 1976, followed by another top-10 hit "walk this way". additionally, "rocks" produced the hit singles "last child", "back in the saddle", and "home tonight". by 1976, aerosmith found themselves headlining huge stadiums and major rock music festivals. that year, tyler emerged as a prominent rock star and sex symbol in his own right, gracing the cover of "rolling stone" magazine, and their fifth album, "draw the line", continued the band's success and they were catapulted to international fame and recognition, launching tours in europe and japan. a series of hot 100 hits continued throughout the remainder of the decade, including "draw the line", "kings and queens", and "chip away the stone". aerosmith's first five albums have also all since gone multiplatinum and all five are considered to be among the greatest hard rock albums of all time. aerosmith toured heavily throughout the mid- to late 1970s, and their live shows during this time period were captured through 1978's live album "live! bootleg" and the 1989 vhs release "live texxas jam '78". also in 1978, tyler made his acting debut as the leader of the future villain band in the film "sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band", alongside his aerosmith bandmates. the film also spawned aerosmith's cover of the beatles hit "come together", which was aerosmith's last top-40 single for nine years.

the interplay between joe perry and brad whitford has been inspiring to many bands, especially guns n' roses. joe perry has received wide recognition and praise as a lead guitarist, and has shared the stage many times with jimmy page and jeff beck, who perry cites as primary influences. he and tyler were asked by page to induct led zeppelin into the rock and roll hall of fame; during the ceremony, which took place in 1995, tyler and perry delivered their speech and joined the band onstage for a brief set. during beck's and metallica's induction in 2009, they invited perry and page to play the yardbirds/zeppelin/aerosmith classic "train kept a-rollin'". other collaborations, either by individual members of the band or by aerosmith as a whole, have included alice cooper on his "trash" album, guns n' roses (who opened for aerosmith during their 1988 tour and had covered "mama kin" on their first release) and b'z. as a testimony to their importance in american popular culture as a whole, aerosmith have also collaborated with popular non-rock artists, such as run-dmc, eminem ("sing for the moment"), and carrie underwood, and performed with 'n sync, britney spears, mary j. blige, and nelly for the super bowl xxxv halftime show. country artists garth brooks and mark chesnutt both scored hit singles with covers of aerosmith songs; brooks in 1995 with "the fever", a reworking of aerosmith's 1993 song, and chesnutt in 1999 with a cover of aerosmith's 1998 song "i don't want to miss a thing".
