Is that Boston?

Speaking of Boston, how's their self titled album? :)

ArcLite 01-28-2005 05:18 AM

Definitely their best, great album. My dad had me listening to them growing up and I love them. If you don't own any Boston yet get S/T first. Don't Look Back is good too.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Wtf. OmG leik the darkness is bringing back clasik roxorz!!11! U r stupoid

:rolleyes: That is pretty much what everybody in my school says.[/QUOTE]

I'm 15 and way into bands like The Rolling stones and the doors. However what sarted me off on finding great classick rock (i LOVE led zeppelin) was shamefully bands such as The Darkness and even, yes, avril lavigne. So although the music itself is rubbish it DOES get teens to tear down halfnaked christina posters and start looking at guitars and proper legends instead.

clown_phobia 01-28-2005 05:43 AM

That's why I think bands like Good Charlotte and Simple plan are better than rappers like 50 cent, who is in my opinion the worst recording artist of all time.

StreetlightRock 01-28-2005 06:17 AM

Anyone seen the Santana live DVD of supernatural? Some cool stuff.

DVG.

PS. I reckon radio raps worse than Simple Plan and all that.

Yeah, and at least their lyrics have somewhat more meaning. As a female I am not impressed with anything bitches/hos/pimps and the general atitude towards women in that stuff. It sounds cheesy, but I DON'T WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT. At least GC doesn't sing about that crap

IAJP 01-28-2005 09:43 AM

I dunno, pop punk is IMO the downfall of society, allthough I'm not saying that rap crap is any better.

[QUOTE=AEDICULA]i have always wondered if music today could ever become what is was in the sixties: revolutionary, inspirational, and fresh...now there are a lot of good bands, but most sound a lot like each other, and don't possess the same drive that the bands of the sixties used to blaze a trail for the music frontier... saying this the band The Mars Volta has answered my question to if there would ever be a expance of our music frontier... They blow Santana out of the water, and they press all their albums on vinal too. you have to give them a chance for sure, but the guitar is the [B]best[/B] i have ever experienced.[/QUOTE]

The Mars Volta's record was, for me, the most disappointing album of all time. From all I heard about them, this album was going to be better than getting a blowjob, but it's so affected, contrived, and joyless...it's the antithesis of classic rock.

Methinks you're a little too easily offended.

Also, if you like Led Zeppelin, I will laugh my a[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]s off.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Speaking of Boston, how's their self titled album? :)[/QUOTE]

Most people make the mistake of comparing their self titled album to their following albums. Their s/t without a doubt isn't even in the same league with the other albums they made. It's honestly one of the best albums of all time. Just so many great songs on it, and they were amazing at harmony, guitar harmony and vocal 3 part harmony. Good stuff. I recommend it to any Classic Rock fan, although their other albums don't hold up as well.

edit- I understand what you mean Walrus Gumboot, but the thing is...Simple Plan and those kinds of bands probably would sing about pimps and hoes, except they are still afraid of girls. They sing more about cooties and having a 'crush' on a girl they've never talked to.

Distant Echoes 01-28-2005 11:29 AM

Bostons self titled album is considered a 'one hit wonder' i think...since it blew all their other albums away and is probably the only one people are willing to buy from the band. Its a great album, though its not really my type of music, but i love the song foreplay too long, good stuff.

thickasabrick 01-28-2005 11:35 AM

Well I think it was because Boston had their whole lives up intil the recording date to write the songs for their s/t album, so they were all of great quality. After the massive success of their debut, their contract forced them to put out a bunch of new songs really quickly, and they never had enough time to create the same quality of songs, since they were so rushed. If they were able to wait longer between releasing more albums, they might have been better. That's how a lot of bands are though, after their debut album they run out of song ideas and they are rushed to complete another album.

[QUOTE=AEDICULA]"taurus" is off their first album titled "Spirit"... that is their best album, Fresh Garbage is the first song on that album. the only reason i was able to spell is because i have the c.d. case in front of me...[/QUOTE]

I'm glad someone else here knows them. Twelce Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus is great too, my favorite after the s/t album.

Distant Echoes 01-28-2005 11:43 AM

to thickasabrick

Thats why no band should ever want to make their first album their greatest. One Hit wonders are terrible for music, a new band enters with a big band, money-sucking producers and record labels want more now, so it totally ****s up everything.

Usually first albums are some of the best for certain bands though...i guess since they have so many years before their first studio recordings, and if their successful, they have to live up to that reputation within the next 1 year or so. Its really harder then it sounds...especially when you have constant touring and promotions up the yin yang, but thats what happens when money comes first

Yes, Their s/t is is really, really good album, and it showed that Boston had all the potential in the world, but then wasted it.... :upset:

I don't know why Boston has a greatest hits. Just get the first album.

BludgeonySteve 01-28-2005 12:46 PM

Yup. S/t is Boston's best by far. For corperate rock it's surprisingly meaningful and interesting. The rest of their albums were good but I think they were just kind of riding the wave of success that came from their first album.

Ok enough Boston. You can only talk about one album for so much.

So, who likes me*.
