807. Walk This Way by Aerosmith (1975)

"Walk This Way" was a hit for Aerosmith in 1975 and then reinvigorated their career in 1986. The band fell on hard times due to excessive drug use. In fact, Run DMC never heard of Aerosmith before covering the song. Their version resurrected Aerosmith who went on to a enjoy a second run.
