The Beatles did not age well. For the record, Boston's self-titled album is the best ever.

Boston's music - overly distorted/sustained guitars, ultra-high-pitched Journey/Kansas-type vocals - is about as dated as it gets, and their lack of radio time these days (even on classic rock stations) confirms it. (Most of) the Beatles music, otoh, is absolutely timeless. And the fact that we're discussing it right now (after all these years) confirms it.

Boston's album is the greatest concentration of recognizable songs on a single album. They had no range, though, as evidenced by the fact that none of their other albums were halfway decent.

Boston's Tom Schultz apparently lost any chance of securing another record contract when he spent five years perfecting the sound of Boston's first album. Engineering and music don't mix, I guess (Schultz was an MIT student at the time, if I recall).
