In a 2011 interview, Tyler reminisced about his father, a Juilliard-trained musician. In 2018, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
It was moved to number 173 in 2010, and finally re-ranked at number 199 in 2021. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song at number 172 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Columbia Records chose to service top 40 radio stations with both long and short versions of the song, thus many 1976 pop radio listeners were exposed to the group's first top 10 effort through the 45 edit. The album version of "Dream On" (4:28, as opposed to the 3:25 1973 45 rpm edit where most of the intro has been edited out and the first chorus is replaced with the second chorus) was re-issued in late 1975, debuting at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 10, 1976, breaking into the top 40 on February 14 and peaking at number 6 on April 10. The song also received immediate heavy airplay on the former WVBF (FM), often showing up in the #1 position on "The Top Five at Five" in June 1973. Released in June 1973, it peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 but hit big in the band's native Boston, where it was the number one single of the year on WBZ-FM, number five for the year on WRKO and number 16 on WMEX (AM). Written by lead singer Steven Tyler, this song was their first major hit and became a classic rock radio staple. " Dream On" is a power ballad by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith.
