@thijs78 I was saying that it ISN'T true that they used outside writers often in the 70s! If you read my posts I was saying they didn't use 'em in the 70s except for a few tracks...hello? For e.g., Steven Emspack is one outside co-writer on the first album, one on the 2nd album, one on the third album, and so on.
I said they didn't start using lots of outside writers until Permanent Vacation. People just don't take the time to look at the credits on the albums, so you are AGREEING with me.

homeydontlie is saying that the band was using extensively external songwriters in the seventies, that is just not true. Neither that they intensely used session musicians in the seventies. What songs concretely and what artists/writers according to you?There's no record of such so we should not assume those things. 90% of the songs were written by Steven and Joe in the seventies and they got help with an incidental track like You See My Crying (arranging) and Kings & Queens.

Gotcha. And I agree with "You See Me Crying"...a big fave too. More complicated arrangement on that, but Steven is credited with the arrangement and then Don helped with whatever else. Nine Lives doesn't have even one song written by only band members. At least PV has four. :/

@Grendelmonster8u Yeah, you're right about that. Sorry, I forgot there are a FEW exceptions..such as Somebody, Women of the World (written by Steven Tyler's previous band...The Strangers), and, of course, my favorite You See Me Crying...helped by Steven Tyler's other friend, Don Solomon. And yes, there are covers. But those songs I don't consider as much as them selling out in songwriting like they did Permanent Vacation onward.

@thijs78 Why are people getting this wrong? Look at the credits starting from the 1st album. Definitely not as many co-writers as Permanent Vacation but there were co-writers on all their early albums & the songs you mention were all before PV. Is that what you meant to say - a track here or there? Not unusual w/ that. "Kings & Queens writing credits: Tyler, Brad Whitford, Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Douglas
Producers do some tweaking..Bob Ezrin big tweaker b/c he played instruments himself too.

@Animelloveer Technically that's not true, not ALL songs were their's from the beginning. Co-written songs on 1st, 2nd, 3rd album & on. But hardly as many as Permanent onward. See my latest post. Look at the album credits. And it was hardly unusual for bands to have some co-writers and they were mostly for the music part & arrangement. I agree with last 2 sentences though. I love this song...bluesy with harmonica, yeah.

@homeydontlie That's not accurate. 1st, 2nd, 3rd album each has one co-written song. One way to tell is that most of the pre-Permanent Vacation many of the lyrics are kind of whacky & not polished, if you know what I mean. Some 60s bands like a favorite Cream had help on their hit songs. Outside writers really amped up on Permanent Vacation & forward. I know session players were used on Get Your Wings. That wasn't so unusual b/c that happened w/ other bands b/c they weren't quite up to snuff.
