It's a crime these guys aren't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
This Album could quite possibly be the Greatest Debut Album of All Time...when it dropped in changed Rock forever!
Id, say it was the greatest debut album
It IS the greatest album of all time! Hands down! 1976, nobody made music like Boston!!!❤
I've heard it said that this album was ahead of it's time. I disagree, I'd say it was right on time, or maybe even defined its time.
This and The Cars self-titled. I was a kid in grade school listening to this blasting on my older brother’s record player and sneaking into his room to play it when he was out. Also, Foreigner’s early stuff. He died last fall and he’s really missed, but so much of this era of music reminds me of him.
You guys should look up Tom Scholz, and who he is, and what he contributed, not only to this band, but music in general. Not only was he the songwriter for this band, but he also created a plethora of sounds and machines because he was a engineer at MIT, and he had a vision of the music he was going to make, but the equipment didn’t exist yet, so he had to invent it
It's Tom Scholz.
the og nerd in the basement
Good point about his story. Debut album sprinkled with auto biographical references. “Peace of Mind”, chasing the dream lyrics in “Long Time.” Dream (leaving corporate world for rock music) came true.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Scholz
I believe he went to and graduated from MIT and was a product development engineer for Polaroid , he helped develop the Polaroid One Step Camera. He also invented the Scholz Rockman which was a small device to play guitar through to get the distinct guitar tone you hear in Boston's music.
Finally some respect on Tom's name
This was a perfect record.
This album will be discovered/rediscovered until the apocalypse erases all the digital/analog copies. Not only the best debut album, but perhaps one of the best albums of all time. Not a single "filler" song on it.
One of the greatest songs of all time!
As a child of the seventies most albums didn't have fluff or fillers they were all great songs this being one of the best debut albums by a band ever made
The album was released in 1976 and was the top debut album ever.
When you dig into Boston's story you'll find out about the driving force behind Boston, Tom Scholz - Master's degree in electrical engineering from MIT, engineer at Polaroid. Wrote all but one song on this album, played every instrument except drums; all vocals done by a guy named Brad Delp. Scholz built a studio in his basement, recorded, mixed and mastered everything. Was the best selling debut album in rock history for about 15yrs
Exciting watching the younger generation get introduced to some awesome music.
Foreplay reminds me of Bach; doesn't sound like him but has a certain contrapuntal feel that makes me think of him.
One of the greatest Rock bands of all-time and an amazing, iconic voice.
This is pure rock
You-all should watch the movie Dazed and Confused ! Many cool songs and great movie !
You kids are listening to Boston the way it should be listened too, headphones and eyes closed
True, but oddly enough, when this was released headphones weren't nearly as popular as they were later.
@@jakerazmataz852 I had plug in earphones and sure used them in my album back then so that I could crank up the volume with my parents saying "turn it down"
@@p.j.d.8199 And Loud As Fuck!
side note one man did all the parts to this song and the full album with another doing the singing,,,in his basement
I saw Boston 7 times the first was 1976 at Ohio State. Blew the roof off. One of the greatest rock bands of all time
This is the kind of song I want everyone born after 1980 to listen to and realize there were singers good enough to hit these notes and make those harmonies without Auto-Tune! If the singer you adore can't hit this without cheating, they suck! The 1970's were the absolute zenith of analog studio production. This is why I don't care about anything made after 2000...
Amen
Boston's debut album (Boston, released in 1976) had every track on it made airplay on all the Rock Station in Detroit. Brad Delp is the lead singer, who suffered from depression which sadly led him to take his life on March 9, 2007.
Their debut album became a greatist hits album!!! Every song is 🔥! Brad Delp,R.I.P. , had THE greatest voice,Tom created the Rockman Amplifier, the whole band, and sound ,is the most iconic, prolific sounds ever! And they STILL aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! It's a shame.
Damn this is such a jam!
Tom Scholz recorded the first album in his basement. He played most of the instruments himself. Not drums though. Brad Delp came in and did ALL the vocals, lead, backing, and harmonies. The record company wanted them to re-record the album in the studio, but Tom wouldn’t have it so they pulled a studio truck up to his house and ran cords from his basement to the truck to get the music on the correct audio tape. They “pretended” to record in the studio. 😂
I sat in awe when I first dropped the needle on this . Music was so stale then. This was different and creative one of those rare perfect albums you listened to start to finish. musical masterpiece
The biggest secret in rock this entire album was done in Toms basement studio that he built Tom played all the instruments and Brad Delp Did all the vocals
Brad Delp had the best voice of the seventies. Every song on this album are as good and better than this song. Please react to all of the songs on this album. Every one was a big hit!👍
Boston, Kansas, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues . . . . . they were all kinda ahead of their time . . .
Journey, Styx, Meatloaf etc. Music history, that will never be repeated.
Brad Delp was an excellent lead singer, and backup vocalist for Boston. He brought the songs to life. Unfortunately, he died in 2007.
Best use of hand claps in rock!
Just noticed a bit of On The Run (Pink Floyd) in Foreplay. Clocking in late on that one, I guess.
It's like my birthday when vids come up with people who have never heard this/these masterpieces.
Oh my gosh you both are amazing. Love watching you love this piece that I heard at age 12
This was my first album I got when I was a teenager. The song I have told my family for years is to be played at my visitation when I pass away. Thanks for reacting to it🙏🏼🌹
That is Brad Delp on ALL vocals
Brad delp the singer ò Boston died several years ago by taking his life. What a traffic. I feel he has the best vocal n rock. Rip
MASTERPIECE! TIMELESS!
Val,you have a beautiful angelic voice ❤
look up Tom Schultz ... you will be amazed what he did !!
There’s and old clip of Tom Schultz playing this on the keys live in the studio that pretty eye opening. Btw. I liked the your song at the beginning. I’ll be checking your stuff out.
Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper (Audio). Classic rock from 1976.
If you’re a fan of this song, take note. They notes tying the songs together are the album cover theme. (Guitar shaped ships taking off from earth). Those notes played are on every album, played between other songs. Every album has a theme cover with those notes/composition played on guitars, even a pipe organ. May be worth checking out.
KEEP IN MIND , THAT WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED THERE WAS ESSENTIALLY NO BAND ! THE INCREDIBLE TOM SCHULTZ WAS THE GENIUS BEHIND THE WHOLE THING ! HE COMPOSED ALL THE MUSIC , PLAYED MOST OF THE INSTRUMENTS , ALL KEYBOARDS , ALL GUITARS , BASS , AS WELL AS DRUMS ON ONE TRACK ! BRAD DELP DID THE VOCALS , SO HE WAS LOCKED IN AS THE SINGER ! THERE'S A VIDEO ON UA-cam THAT TOM SCHULTZ EXPLAINS , HOW HE DID IT !
Don't believe everything you hear...
Check out Hitch a Ride IMO a perfect song from this album
A classic of course. Have y'all heard Rush - 2112/Temples of Syrinx? Definitely do so if not.
Brad Delp is in the top 10 of the greatest rock singers.
Many folks do not realize that Tom Scholz played most of the instruments on this album and recorded it in his basement...
Tom invented the Sony rockman
Urban Shaman & Misses......I know a song that you will like.....fits in with your lifestyle. It's call, " Close To The Edge, " by Yes. It's such a trip!!! It's a Masterpiece that takes you on a journey. Check it out!!!🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah! Nice change of pace from opening her Third Eye! LOL! Keep up the great work on your music journey! Been jamming your tunes a lot lately.
I like Tool as well, but there so many other great bands bands from the last 60 years as well. Boston is one of them.
The guy was a genius engineer that worked at polaroid and created an electronic box to make that unique guitar sound.
Cutting edge shit in the day.
Practiced in a wherehouse converted into induvidual studio rooms in Cambridge Mass and ended up at the top!
You guys should check out some Puscifer songs! It’s Maynard’s OTHER other band, and many songs feature him AND vocalist Carina Round singing together in music that is quite different from TOOL- “The Remedy” is a good one to start with!
I agree I love their music especially potions, bullet train to iowa, Grand canyon all the great ones
Great INTO from you guys. Love Tom Scholz sound and the fact that, that was the sound he was looking for. He built his own distortion switch called Rockman to achieve that sound. Great Prog arrangement. cheers guys.
Great reaction. I'm guessing you are fans of prog-rock !? ❤ Tool and now Boston.
You must listen to Rush next then. Please start with 2112 and work yout way up from there.
✌️❤️
RIP BRAD DELP
Every time I hear “Foreplay” I imagine an entire orchestra performing it. ❤️
Every song on this album got heavy radio airplay. There aren't many albums that every song made it to radio
Growing up in New England in the 70's and 80's these guys where on every radio station, all day, every day. The sad end of Brad Delp is an "interesting" read.
Firth of Fifth" is a song by the British progressive rock band Genesis. Give it a listen.
I thought I felt old listening to Tool. Haha... Keep it coming though! So right when calling out that this was "before its time." I grew up in Boston in the 70s. I could not walk around the block without hearing Boston blaring from somebody's bitchin' Camaro!
Another trip from '79 I think is The Cars debut LP, also from Boston. Moving in Stereo is trance-like. Immortalized by Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. IYKYK.
And Val's library's coming? 👍🏼
I think it took nearly 10 years before they released a follow-up album.
Actually just a 2 year gap between this, their first, self titled album and their second, "Don't Look Back", 1976 and 1978 respectively.
Then 1986s "Third Stage", 1994s, "Walk On" and 2013s, Life Love and Hope."
@pluckinmageetar
I knew there was a big gap in there somewhere. I was thinking that their third album was their second, I guess.
@@SaverioP I understand the yearning for "New Boston."
You put out 2 of the most iconic albums ever in 2 years and then one every 8 years after.
Not a good marketing strategy. They should have consulted "Steely Dan" as to how best to market bands that create music in unorthodox ways.
I think she fell asleep on you there about halfway through.
For your next eyes closed, headphones on listen, I recommend Ted Nugents "Strangle Hold".
I find it hard to believe that someone who knows the song “more than a feeling” well enough to be able to sing it would not know this song. But I guess it’s possible…
WTF? Mario Cart? Umm, ok.
Lol I think she thought of that cause they are both somewhat chaotic / fast moving, and often have arpeggio like flurries to them. Generally speaking a lot of old video game music sounds cheesy on the surface but if you hear people play it on nicer instruments it’s actually pretty amazing from a composition perspective. There’s some fun videos of jazz pianists breaking down old Nintendo type music out there on UA-cam 😂
