Aerosmith's 'Permanent Vacation' is a Masterclass in Reinvention
What is the story behind Permanent Vacation by Aerosmith? In this episode of Album Archives, we revisit 1987 and examine the album that pulled Aerosmith back from the brink and reintroduced them to a new generation.Fueled by Steven Tyler’s wild charisma and Joe Perry’s signature guitar swagger, the record fuses bluesy grit with pop polish—producing hits like “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Angel,” and “Rag Doll.” We explore how this album not only brought Aerosmith roaring back from the brink but also helped define the sound of late-‘80s arena rock.
