Aerosmith--Seasons of Wither (MTV Unplugged)

by Jay Allbritton
Now that he's a judge on American Idol, the Supreme Court of pop culture that it is, it's clear that Steve Tyler has had three acts in his life. Before Idol, he went to rehab and got his band, Aerosmith (Or AeroSith as I like to call them because they went to the dark side of the force), back together clean and sober and wrote a string of horrible hit songs. Before that, in the mid 1970s, he formed Aerosmith and wrote five amazing drug-addled albums with them between 1973 and 1977.

This is one of the finest songs from the first act of Mr. Tyler's wild life--"Seasons of Wither," performed during the second act on MTV Unplugged.
