In 1973, the band Aerosmith, featuring lead singer Steven Tyler, released a rock ballad titled Dream On. The song appeared on their debut album, named after the group. In an interview, Steven Tyler shared that he would lie on the floor under the family piano listening to his classically trained father play music.
Tyler had composed the song by the age of 14. Dream On was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2018 and is listed in the top 500 greatest songs of all time.
