Boston, Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, Journey.....take a dash of this, a little of that, toss it together, get into the studio - BANG! FM hits.....I bet there's an FM "classic rock" radio station playing tunes from each of those five bands right this very moment.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I appreciate them for how they sounded, a band that showed how crucial production is, and Scholz though simplistic and cheesy made some real contributions to tech guitar. |

About this thread I really understand why Boston canīt make it into pa because it seems to be hard these days even full progbands. On the other hands Iīve seen some those suggestions-threads where somebody has just suggested new band and almost immediately some collaborator has answered "added". No understanding why it is so, but anyway I have been very lazy to make reviews lately, so I donīt care.

I think Tom deserves far more recognition for what he achieved on the first Boston album - an album he basically made by himself in his basement. In that regard he is forerunner to the hordes of bedroom musicians roaming the earth as we speak.
Does that make the music prog rock? Not really but he did a 'Prince' whilst the real Prince still was trying to cultivate facial hair. Pioneering a new way of compiling an album? That is more like it. |

Love their first two albums. Big part of my early music listening.

I agree, their first two albums are great. I also have their greatest hits compilation that have the highlights of their career, worth getting because beyond the 70s, their albums are quite uneven (if you ask me).
