And so they're now releasing their "ultimate" greatest hits.
There'll no doubt be lots of polar-opposite views on this.
But one question I have is how does Mama Kin make the 18-song CD collection but not the 3CD version? Or is that just a misprint (https://store.aerosmith.com/collections/greatest-hits)
Also, it's a shame they have yet again tried to pretend that the 1980-84 period didn't exist.

Stopped the insanity of buying Greatest hits, Classic hits, Gems,etc around, oh...36 years ago!!!! I did spring for what I think was called Rocking The Joint.

Definitely will not be buying this, but as far as compilations go the track listing could be a lot worse.

I'll buy the standard cd, and maybe the 3 cd version, just to say "I have it", and that's about it. If THIS is the "Boxset" they've been working on for the last 5 years, it's a sad joke.

3CD Deluxe Edition 13. We All Fall Down What would possess anyone to put We All Fall Down on an Aerosmith Greatest Hits album? That song is the worst in their entire catalogue - by far! I get having to put a MFAD song on the album, but what about Legendary Child? Oh Yeah? Street Jesus? Even What Could Have Been Love or the shitty duet with Carrie Underwood would have been a better choice. Was WAFD even a single?! This makes me unreasonably angry. Not that I was going to buy this collection anyways....

No, it wasn't, and it wasn't even written by them, it's a Diane Warren song. They could have chosen other songs off MFAD, I totally agree with you.

Truly a garbage compilation. Who makes these decisions? Maybe this sells to people discovering Aerosmith for the first time. But why not put out a product that your built in fan base would buy?
Pathetic

I don't get the complaining about the tracks, this is one of the best GREATEST HITS collections I have seen featuring (mostly) studio and live cuts. I'd personally much rather see more re-mixes and outtakes, but for a GREATEST HITS compilation how can you complain about this? Out of all the songs, I only had to delete a small handful of bad choices. And to be even more fair, WAFD was never a hit, but neither was Lord of The Thighs, Combination, Nobody's Fault, Adam's Apple, Bright Light Fright, or S.O.S., so I can overlook it for the tradeoff. If I were to pick the best songs off each album, my picks wouldn't look too much different from what they picked, at least on the first generation material. As for the 2nd gen stuff, ah, they didn't do too bad. Happy to see Nine Lives made the cut. And love it or hate it, it would just be stupid to leave IDWTMAT off this collection.

They could have chosen other songs off MFAD, I totally agree with you. Neither was Train, to be fair, so that's not a legit argument. But I agree with the main point that it's a weird choice to include from MFAD.

I know, but they've been playing Train for 50 years now, they haven't even played "We All Fall Down" once, that's what makes it weird. I would have gone with Legendary Child, Oh Yeah, Lover Alot or What Could Have Been Love, that were the singles, even Freedom Fighter or Street Jesus would have been a better choice.
