One of the lousiest and overrated pop rock bands ever. I never could stand any Boston they played on the radio in the 80s. It was all just unlistenable with those cheesy guitars and exaggerated high vocals. I always thought of Boston as a parody of a rock band, but Spinal Tap actually was a fantastic parody of the rock n roll lifestyle, making Boston just look and sound like a bunch of wannabe schlubs.
RE “...One of the lousiest and ...”
Friend, obviously I completely disagree with you. :^)
I found them to be an amazing group, with a unique sound that no one else had.
I’ve played lead guitar in bands since the mid 70s - everything from hard rock, heavy metal, Hendrix to Page to Eddie VH and Iron Maiden. All have their place.
Boston had and has a special place for me musically.
I also love jazz, Irish/celtic, 70s funk, Motown, and violinist music.
Your entitled to your opinion, brother. “We just Disagree” like Dave Mason said.... :^)
