Worst 70's band hands down.

No question.

Sorry he's dead, but Boston sucked.

At the first hint of any Boston song on the radio I change the station faster than I could pull my hand out of a campfire.

The only thing that stunk worse than the first Boston album was the second Boston album.

The first 2 Boston records got me through some real tough times as a kid. Tough and kinda ugly times. I respect your opinion:) To each their own, right? *sliding you a beer*

Thanks. Just don't play "More Than A Feeling" on the jukebox or things will get ugly.

Boston is the band that pushed me over the edge into my punk phase.

God I hated them.....pretentious overproduced over hyped anybody can sound good after 5 years in the studio....

Sorry. I'll stop now.

I'll get the next round.

My son is a musician as well ad I introduced him to Boston. He's grown to love the old rock I listened to as a young teen.
Classic stuff. They don't make them like they used to anymore.

Yeah, I hear ya! I'm about to turn 43, God willing. I'm still freaked about how, a few years ago, my soundman, my best friend, died at 36 from a sudden brain aneurysm. Since then, I try my best to look at each and every day as a gift from God to live well.
