Aerosmith, The Cult and late-80s arena rock swagger. Consider it permission to dig out the leather jacket.
Livin’ On The Edge is a 31-song blast of late-80s and early-90s hard rock swagger, led by Aerosmith with eight songs including “Livin’ On The Edge,” “Rag Doll,” “Dude (Looks Like A Lady)” and “F.I.N.E.” The Cult adds five more, with “Sweet Soul Sister” among them, and Scorpions, Guns N’ Roses and The Black Crowes all chip in.
Jon Bon Jovi’s “Blaze Of Glory” from Young Guns II, Pearl Jam’s “Alive,” Lenny Kravitz, Faith No More and Puddle Of Mudd’s cover of “Gimme Shelter” keep the energy high and the hair big. It’s arena rock at its most fun: wailing vocals, crunchy riffs, a little bluesy strut and choruses designed to be shouted by thousands of people at once. Use it for a drive with the windows down, a garage workout or a Friday night when you want to feel like you’re backstage in 1990. If you’ve got a leather jacket gathering dust in the closet, consider this playlist permission to wear it again.
