On May 3, 1976 the hard rock band Aerosmith released their fourth studio album "Rocks". Coming on the heals of the very successful "Toys in the Attic", the album was a commercial success, charting three singles on the Billboard Hot 100, two of which reached the Top 40 ("Back in the Saddle" and "Last Child"). The album was one of the first albums to ship platinum when it was released. The album has since gone quadruple platinum. In 2003, the album was ranked number 176 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album has influenced many hard rock bands and musicians.
