I love it now that I'm almost 60 years old. I still have all their original al;bums I bought when I was in school and I have worn out countless tapes of this band.

    I listened to Boston’s first album almost everyday after school from 1976 to 1979 when I moved to Canada from the Philippines. I would put on the headphones and just block off the rest of the world. I listened to it so often I wore out the record. This was way before CDs. When no one was home I ‘borrowed’ my brother’s electric guitar and play air-guitar to Boston’s whole album. I play guitar, but no way could I play like Tom Scholz. I went to my very first concert in 1988 in Vancouver BC at the Pacific Coliseum. It was for BOSTON! I could not believe! There they were, my childhood heroes! They did not disappoint! After all these years this album is still magic! Years later I met my ‘Maryanne’. This song is now so bittersweet, as every now and then, I still dream of that girl I used to know, that I let slip away.

      Hello @Maggie Renee
      This first album that Boston did was recorded over a 5 year period. The keyboardist and vocalist that you admire, was a MIT graduate and perfectionist. The Drummer and him would record as often as they could and did everything themselves.
      The story goes that when they got their first record deal, they walked in and handed the executives their finished product and said here it is, all you have to do now is press it.
      They did after hearing it, and the rest is music history.
      You will not find a bad song from Boston. Check out Foreplay/Long Time. It starts off with an amazing Instrumental (Foreplay) and goes into a phenomenal song with more vocal acrobatics.
      Happy New Year and I wish you much continued success, happiness, great health and prosperity in 2024. 🙏❤️🎤🎶

His death burial and resurrection Has redeemed me. And i know he died for me personally. I know I'm going to be with him forever in Heaven. Because i have put all my trust in The Son of God. I now have so much peace and joy . I hope you put all your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I’m a 40 yr old guy and I’m so thankful my dad was a drummer in a rock band all throughout the 1970’s. He and my mom introduced me to “classic” rock. I became a drummer myself. Rock is my favorite genre to listen to and play as well. This band, this album will never go out of style. IMHO.

    This song is a classic and the entire first album is like a greatest hits!!!! There are definitely more fantastic songs, like the more romantic "Amanda," but this is probably my favorite. "Foreplay/Longtime" is also a great one on the first album. Don't be put off by the song's length, because it is a musical extravaganza!!!! Trillion times of fun watching this video with you and happy new year my beautiful friend!!!!❤

    This is regarded as one of the most important debut albums in rock music history. You really couldn't go wrong doing what I have seen other reactors do, which is just start with the first song on the album, which you just did, and then reaction by reaction, just work your way through the album and the sequencing on it is great as well. But its iconic for a reason. Everything on this album is just fantastic in its own way.
    When you were demonstrating the high singing, suddenly it reminded me of another classic rock song that it is popular to react to although this one is a few years older, and it is called Child In Time, by Deep Purple. Ian Gillan, their lead singer, was on the Broadway recording for Jesus Christ Superstar as the voice of Jesus Christ. They were a heavy hard rock band but that guy can flat out sing. I know you will lose your marbles if you hear it.

I saw Boston live on tour for this album in 1976...they were touring with Kansas!! I can assure you that the musicianship was top notch and Mr. Delp did in fact hit every note without cheating or sliding or wavering. Nearly every song on the first two albums is an anthem...I understand Scholtz is kind of an ass, but he sure was smart and talented.

    From what I've read, the instrumentals were worked on over 6 years before final recording. Which explains why there's no "filler" songs on the first album, and they were all instant classics and hard to pick a favorite.

    As @still-kickin says "You will not find a bad song on this amazing debut album". If you recognize the chorus it is probably because this song has been used on several TV commercials over the years. AND as us old farts often (too often) say, the best rock came out of the 70s!

    Welcome to what is probably the greatest song of the rock era. Been a fan since the album first came out, but I've grown to appreciate it more as I watch people react. The amazing thing is that the vocals were done live to tape. So if he didn't hit that note.....Oh, and the other amazing thing is it was all recorded in Tom Sholz's basement. That's what happens when you combine an MIT trained engineer with virtuoso musical skills.
    BTW, at the beginning when you were looking at the "best known songs".... they included (I think) every song on their debut album. It was HUUUUGGGGEEEEE.

    Their debut album was like nothing we had ever heard. It hit like a thunderbolt and I for one was hooked and 47 years later they are still one of my favorite bands. Their only downside is their very small catalog. Once you have reacted to a few of their songs, you need to listen to the whole album from start to finish. Pure genius.
