What is your opinion of Boston's first album?
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 01:51 AM by ikhor
Dude, I get made fun of by all my friends....but I think Boston's first album is kick ass, man.

There are some great songs there.


Edit: RIP Brad Delp

Also, if aliens visit earth they will come in giant mushroom shaped spacecraft

1. Those spaceships on the cover aren't mushroom-shaped
They're flying guitars.

I know, because I drew them in the margins of about a hundred notebooks.

3. That album is one of the all-time greats
That was the first album I ever listened to on a high-end stereo system with high-end headphones. It was a religious experience.

4. I love that album!
Still have it (and I mean, the vinyl type). Just need to get a new turntable so I can listen to it again.

5. I think it's awesome
One of those albums that, despite three-quarters of the tracks being in heavy rotation on classic rock stations, I've never managed to get sick of any of the songs on! It's awesome from start to finish IMHO.

6. one of the greatest all-time 'rock n roll' albums ever made.
it's got everything: songs about sex, drugs, and roll n roll. wailing guitar and cheesy hammond B-3. what's not to love?

7. "The Mona Lisa of arena rock."
I didn't make that up, a friend did but it fits.

9. I love it, of course. Love all their stuff, but the oldest is the best.

10. The first Boston album is absolutely amazing!!
Every song on it is good...some songs are great!!

Brad Delp had one of the best voices in rock n' roll.
