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 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.
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")
Pretty much every rock band is un-Christian when you actually look.
There seem to be degrees and delineations. Some are hard core, others more subtle.
Some bands make it a point or matter of branding to advance and promote demonic/satanist symbolism, messaging, and programming.
And...some of the branding and symbolism combined with the music and lyrics serve as mental imprinting devices at a subconscious level. It is actually insidious. "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll." Teens begin relating to the whole package.
Is some of the music good? Of course. That's what makes it so effective at subversion.
