More Than A Feeling, for BOSTON

1976: Boston's debut album blew me away. I was 11 and again staying over my Granparent's double-decker in Boston. The houses were close together and some older kids lived next door. I heard this playing and listened from the window. Later that day, I asked one of the kids what they were listening to. They told it was a new group called Boston. The next day my Grandmother took me on the subway to downtown boston and bought it for me.

The lead guitarist, Tom Scholz, an MIT grad, actually created the effects devices that gave his playing it's signature sound.

Sadly, the lead singer Brad Delp killed himself in 2007.

I 100% think Boston belongs in the Music Hall of Fame.
