2002 greatest hits album by Aerosmith From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits is a greatest hits album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released in 2002 by Columbia Records and Geffen Records. A double-disc album, it includes 27 of the band's biggest hits in chronological order and spans the band's entire career to that point, but does not include any songs from the albums Night in the Ruts, Rock in a Hard Place, or Done With Mirrors. Aerosmith's collaboration with Run-DMC on "Walk This Way", however, is included, as are two new songs, "Girls of Summer" and "Lay It Down", which the band recorded in Hawaii.[3]

O, Yeah! has since been certified triple platinum in the United States. Noticeable on the corners of album cover are the different variations of the Aerosmith logo used throughout the band's career.
O, Yeah! was re-released as The Essential Aerosmith on September 13, 2011. The album cover was changed, with a more straightforward profile picture of the band being used, and a limited edition bonus disc with six additional tracks was released, otherwise the track listing to the two CDs are the same.
