Poster Comment: Rick Beato's intricate breakdowns of songs, music, and techniques is pretty cool. Boston's first album (1976) in my opinion is a Top 10 of all time. Still nothing sounds like it, never has since. Boston was its own genre. Summer of '77. Second album (1978) was good as well. I remember the anticipation of this second Boston album, buying it immediately. That was pretty much the end of Boston (aside from the single, Amanda), on their third album ten years later in 1986.

Good time for music, on the cusp of disco dying out and the punk rock scene exploding. Boston was unique in a lot of ways and their songs were a combination of Power-Pop, hair-band metal and soaring harmonies and were so far ahead of their time, production-wise Scholz was quite a perfectionist, one of the reasons it was so long between albums, or so I've heard. Check out this demo from 1975: Oh, just found this out : Scholz was a top student and a member of the varsity basketball team, he graduated from Ottawa Hills High School in 1965. I grew up in Maumee,(OH), maybe 8 miles from there. I may have seen him play hoops when I was 12.
I like Boston. Don't love them but I do like their music. I'm more into harder rock as I'm sure you know.
"Harder"? Or more satanic? I hate to burst your bubble, but...do you know anything about symbolism? OR, Ozzy's affectionate lyrics and ode to THE one and only, 'Mr Crowley'? (do you know who HE was?) I'm only the messenger. https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/Rock-n-Roll/ozzy.htm
Seems Boston is in "Jesus is Saviour's" Hall of Shame. Right from your own site you referenc. Boston: promotes fornication, wild immoral parties, drug abuse, indifference, smoking pot, lead singer commit suicide in March 2007 (left a suicide note saying, "I am a lonely soul") https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/Rock-n-Roll/shame.htm
So, basically not any different than any other rock band? ...lead singer commit suicide in March 2007... So? How is that the band's fault?

Speaking of "epic," your rebuttals on this thread have been just that. Especially when wedded to Ping's 'Victory' epic score. Bravo!
