Boston is a classic rock band from Boston, Massachusetts which had major success in the 1970's and 1980's. Famous members include Tom Sholz and Brad Delp(R.I.P). Their debut album [i]"Boston"[/i] launched on August 8'th, 1976 and was a enormous success and ranked as the second best selling album in US history with over 17 million copies sold. The album spawned three singles "More Than a Feeling", "Long Time" and "Peace of Mind". The album also ranked at #3 on the Billboard 200 and remained on the charts for 132 weeks.
The second album "Don't Look Back" launched in August 1978 and spawned two other singles "A Man I'll Never Be", and "Feelin' Satisfied". Overall the album sold about half as much as the first.
Now that we have the history out of the way lets sample a few of their singles.

The lead singer killed himself a couple of years ago for some reason. What a tragedy.
Great band though. I don't think there's anyone else quite like them.
its impossible to not enjoy more than a feeling.
its impossible to not love Boston. They're an amazing band.

The lead singer was a wizard.
Love this band

My best guess is he had his balls in a vice.
Doesn't change how fucking awesome Boston was, but seriously, a male singing that high is inhuman.
Not even Halford could pull that shit off.
I don't really like [B]More Than A Feeling[/B] or any of their other hits. But the song [B]Cant'cha Say You Believe In Me[/B] from "Third Stage" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Especially the chorus and guitar solo. It brings tears to my eyes.
