"Dream On" is a blues rock song in the key of F minor by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album, Aerosmith. This power ballad became their first major hit. Although it peaked at #59 when it was originally released as a single back in 1973, it became a Top 10 single in 1976, when it was re-released as a single. This song was first played live in Willimantic, CT at the Shaboo Inn.
The song was sampled by rap artist Eminem for his song Sing for the Moment from his 2002 album The Eminem Show. The song was re-made by Andru Donalds as the cover song for their album of the same name. It has been covered by Ronnie James Dio (vocals) with Yngwie Malmsteen .
