Top tracks: Richie Sambora is your No.1 choice this week!

5. Aerosmith – Lover Alot It’s been a long while since Aerosmith came out with a straight-ahead, no-nonsense, full-power rock track. But they’ve addressed that in releasing Lover Alot from upcoming album Music From Another Dimension. Bassist Tom Hamilton says: “I like it because it’s just a very in-your-face hard rock Aerosmith song.” No arguments from us, matey.

6. Aerosmith – What Could Have Been Love Another track from Music From Another Dimension. The band’s 15th album, which struggled for life amid the band’s near-collapse in 2010, is scheduled for release on November 6.

7. Cherri Bomb – Spin “When I first played the electric guitar, it felt like a lightning bolt.” So says Julia Pierce, lead singer and guitarist of LA-based all-girl rockers Cherri Bomb. “I was instantly struck by the idea of starting a band.  And so my search began.” Pierce formed Cherri Bomb in 2006, when she was just 11 years old. The rest of the members are guitarist Miranda Miller, bassist Rena Lovelis and drummer Nia Lovelis (Rena’s elder sister). The girls are currently 14 to 16 years old. This song reminds us of The Bangles… but with extra added BANG! And you liked it so much, you placed it above the likes of The Darkness and The Cult at No.7 in our chart.
