This is a “stuck on a deserted island” album. Every song is fire, and they never seem to get old.

[@pudder68]

Facts

[@redstateforever]

@Barstool Prophet Hey, just saw this. Ugh, this is hard. I’m a Gen Xer who had bunch of older cousins influencing my musical tastes, so, let’s see... Eagles, Greatest Hits...Thriller, MJ...Purple Rain, Prince...Rumors, Fleetwood Mac...Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morisette...oh, and I also love country. Bluegrass and southern gospel....so, Alison Krause + Union Station, Live (2002)... Best of the Gaither Vocal Band...Lynyrd Skynrd, Pronounced “Leh- nerd Skin-Erd”, and also Adele, Live at Royal Albert Hall...I guess that makes ten! If I had to live with those ten for the rest of my life, I’d say I’d do alright. How about you, my friend?!?

[@redstateforever]

@Barstool ProphetOh, I’m with ya on lots of those. I love Yes, Kansas, Styx, and of course Led Zeppelin. It really is crazy hard to choose just 10. Funny how neither of us picked the Beatles. I like some of their songs, but for whatever reason, I just never got into the whole full on devotion thing. Maybe because they broke up before I was born, idk. If I could add one more it would be Journey, Escape. Don’t stop believing! Lol.

ACDC is closer to R&R, Chuck Berry music is Rock & Roll, and ACDC copies Chuck, this is synth/prog Rock.

The guy in white ball cap is 🔥 fire! Loved your air guitar & drum renditions; shows you're a loyal fan with a fun personality 👍 What a phenomenal Album this is. Many of these songs are considered anthems.

So cool to hear young kids loving GREAT music and great bands...

My kids were raised on Boston and the classics.... they still love it....

[@mysteryguest9555]

I remember cranking this song up on my stereo in my bedroom when it first came out. Good times.. Looking back, my Generation X was blessed growing up with the best bands from the 70's and 80's. Soooo many top notch musicians during that time. Wow.

[@johnbaumgartner7731]

You guys are Hilarious... Love watching this. As one of you mentioned, most of the instruments were played and recorded by Tom Scholz in his basement studio. Brad Delp was brought in to do the vocals. Not just lead but all vocals were performed by Delp, including harmony. This song changed rock for ever when it came out. Enjoyed this guys...

[@jalkabre5904]

I was about your age when Boston became one of my favorite bands .... All their songs on this album was fire.

[@jalkabre5904]

You should also check out Rainbow w/ Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Another 70s band that is great. The song Stargazer is epic.

[@kimkovaly2393]

Haven't listened to this song with headphones on. Omg such an amazing band. Words cant describe how amazing this song is. FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@qtrhors1]

So many memories. I do miss those good times from my teenage years. I bought this album when it was new when I was 16.

[@MantrostTonyRojas2012]

By the times there were not synthesizers and Pc studio samplers , real hand claps, laser sounds created with the guitar . Rockman creator . Bradley Delp legendary voice and harmonies . Boston forever!!

[@jenniferjohnson319]

I was ten when this came out. Great band...imagine this the soundtrack to your summer.

[@jonathanlindsey463]

this song has become special for Boston fans as well as many others world wide.. the lead singer Brad Delp committed suicide and one of the notes he left had some of the lyrics from this song in it “you’ll forget about me after i’ve been gone”.. he also left seal notes for his 2 kids, ex-wife and fiancee... sorry Brad but you will never be forgotten, RIP

[@martinkulkarni3569]

Is that right? My understanding is he wrote words along the lines of ‘I am such a lonely soul’

[@jonathanlindsey463]

[@leslie8743]

My 1st concert at Washington State University in 1978. Sounded freaking fantastic. They had just finished world tour and were so happy being back home, they played hard for almost 3 hours. We couldn't sleep that night from being hyped up. ❤

[@tommykinikin9335]

I loved ya'lls reaction. I saw this band in , of all places, Amarillo, TX. They had a silkscreen of a giant pipe organ that would light up when their organ played. They sounded as good live, as they do on their recordings. It was a great time to be a teenager.

Brad Delp, the singer, supposedly committed suicide in 2007 and Sib Hashian, the drummer, passed away in 2017. RIP to two really good musicians but you will live forever in the music.

[@stevewest5397]

This song is Boston saying: "Hey guys, we're Boston. Here's what we're about. Prepare yourselves."

[@donaldnewberne2616]

The blending of the two songs are just phenomenal. The two songs are just iconic to the 70's and 80's. The music now, " just doesn't have the same soul" to barrow a line from another iconic song from Billy Joel. Rock On 🤟🤘👊✊. It is amazing how the younger generation are just know listening to Classic Rock Music, and learning to appreciate the music of this era. They really enjoying and experiencing the sounds and meanings behind each and every song. We need more young people listening to more Classic Rock Bands from the 70's and 80's. Just listen and let the music flow flawlessly throughout your body and sense's.

[@MichaelSimmons10Jul1969]

Got to love that intro and how it drops right into the song. Just pure magic!

[@micheleparker3780]

You guys take me ALL the way back, over 40 years, to when I was 19, in an off-campus apartment at Florida A&M University. I gathered my friends (mostly dudes) and I put this record on the record player, and said, "Listen to THIS!!!". We sat, awed, by the awesomeness... Oh, good times!!!!!!!!🤗

[@williamt5837]

Funny, what's amazing was this album was recorded in a basement studio, the effects synths made by Scholz who is an MIT-trained engineer who designed a recording studio in an apartment building basement

I was 14 when this album came out. Since then this entire album has become a staple in my life, especially as a vocalist. To this day still on all my playlists. BTW, the album cover pic is an upside down acoustic guitar...

[@union-hu7rl]

Yo KY native here too. 270 lmao. Boston is in my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Top tier.

[@Smoky37830]

Saw them live at the Cotton Bowl Texas Jam for their Third Stage album. First, they sound just like that live - they don't need a studio to sound that good. Second, had never seen a band do this: they said they released a new album and were going to play it in its entirety - and they played Third Stage. What a magical summer night!

[@suzanneprock7286]

This was a great party song during my Senior year! Oh, was Boston hot!

[@richardgarcia6379]

I was 5 or 6 when this album came out and it was huge and my dad always listened to it and this was one of my favorites from this album, so I’ve known this song forever and when I was in my later teens and started partying these songs we played all the time. So I’ve known this song all my life and have heard it a million times but it’s cool what u guys do cuz I don’t no what I would think of it if I was your guys age? U guys do it right and give the songs the proper listen and reaction. Who would of thought back in the day that these songs would live on and I wonder if bands from that time watch reactions to their songs like u guys do and just sit there a smile 😅

[@sandeeschaeffer3300]

I know this song from my childhood. I introduced my husband and daughter to it playing Rock Band. I didn't tell them how long the songs were. They kept asking me when it was going to be over! They hated me for not warning them ahead of time of how long it would be, but I knew they would never play it with me unless I kept it a "surprise" haha!

[@kdavis9943]

Great song! Great reaction guys! Just wanted to point out that that’s not a spaceship, it’s an upside down guitar! 😊

[@hardboiledharry4061]

The entire album is a masterpiece, Tom Scholz did this in his basement, recruited Brad Delp as a singer and put together the rest of the band so he could tour, they never could top this their debut, sad fact they lost out to the Starland Vocal Band at the Grammys for best new band, more sad times as Brad Delp passed away in 2007 and drummer Sib Hashian passed away in 2017, I was 18 when this came out and everyone had this album along with Fleetwood Mac Rumors and Frampton Comes Alive, it was a glorious time to be alive if only for the music, I was lucky to see them in 1979 and they are awesome live. The spaceships on the cover are upside down guitars.

[@leonardcampbell5990]

MORE THAN A FELLING BY BOSTON

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

You really need to look into how this album was created, by ONE man, Tom Scholz, in his tiny studio basement apartment. He did EVERYTHING except drums and vocals. And being an MIT graduate in electrical engineering he invented devices to help him achieve this amazing feat, many that are still being used today! And he was classicaly trained on keyboards but had to teach himself how to play guitar and bass for this album.Truly a super human effort and one of the greatest accomplishments in recorded music history.

[@neechee5150]

@Mr.56Goldtop Well not quite. All of Brads vocals were recorded by producer John Boylan at Capital Studios. The entire song Let Me Take You Home which was written by Brad was recorded at The Record Plant LA. Toms degrees from MIT are in mechanical engineering and Tom has never worked as an electrical engineer What specific devices did Tom invent that are still in use today? The Rockman is a dinosaur that really died out 30 years ago. If someone like Joe Satriani wanted to get a "Rockman Sound" he would just use a digital software plug in So what specific devices (plural) are you referring to? I see so many people make this comment/claim or one like it but I have yet to see them give any specifics.

[@tripplelindy2]

The solo guitar work on the song was handled by Barry Goudreau.

[@karlschmitt6359]

I've been jamming to Boston since 1976, but I'm going to throw out a little trivia for you. What offshoot band did former members of Boston start in 1983-1985? Former member's: Barry Goudreau(guitars), Brad Delp (backing vocals), and future Boston lead singer Fran Cosmo form? My guess is only a few people know who this is, and I will be presently surprised if there is more than a few! Also Michael DeRosier(former drummer from Heart) was a part of this. So You Ran got to #7 on Rock Radio and #58 on the Hot 100. So You Ran was aired on MTV as well. Please let me know if there are any fans out there. I love the album! Are there any fans out there of this offshoot of Boston?

[@robertrussell5948]

I was 16 when this came out and all we had was 8 track tapes in our cars. I know I wore out at least 3 of these tapes. Tom Sholz is a musical genius. He invented the Rockman and it's not an amplifier for his guitar. Do some research on him guys.

[@michaelcalarco4994]
