“Adam's Apple” by Aerosmith

Steven Tyler owns "Adam's Apple" lock, stock and barrel. Tucked onto Toys in the Attic, the third Aerosmith album, which Columbia released on April 8, 1975, it's a song he wrote alone, words and music, then arranged, sang and dressed up with his own harmonica, keyboard and percussion.

The rest of the band keeps the engine running hot. Joe Perry piles on guitar, slide and acoustic included, plus percussion and backing vocals, Brad Whitford adds more guitar, Tom Hamilton holds down the bass and Joey Kramer handles drums and percussion, with Jack Douglas producing and Jay Messina engineering. It sits on the record that sent "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" out as singles, the one that went on to become the band's best-selling studio LP in America.
