I visited many days progarchives and I'm always strageness for the absence of one of my favorites bands: Boston.
I would like to make a suggestion: Place a record of this band. Maybe in Art Rock or Symphonic Prog.

Boston is in my opinion not a prog band.

Agreed. They are one of the classic AOR bands. |

I definitely enjoy Boston's first two albums, but I'd have to concur that they're not prog, IMO.

| Nope, not prog. The only song I know that even approaches it is 'Foreplay' with some complex organ and guitar interplay but other than that it's AOR- one of the best bands of that genre though. |

Great band but has no place on this site ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

| Ohmygod... Boston (bar their first 2 albums, but that's not enough) are one of the slushiest AOR bands around. They have no more place on this site than the likes of Journey, Toto and Survivor would have. |

have to throw my two cents in for what it's worth... Boston AOR... and
damn good AOR it was... but not prog. Journey though.... I could
see them for their early stuff ala Deep Purple and ELO. If the
site is to be 'all-inclusive' Survivor.....  ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Ugh. That's all we would need is to have people reviewing two of the most overplayed albums in the history of mankind. I had my fill of Boston by the time I got out of college in the 80's. But to my dismay, More Than a Feeling can still be heard on the radio pretty much every day of the week. Thank you all for shooting down even the thought.

We should sooner add Europe.  It's a better place to live too, so I hear.  ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |
