Boston is one of my favorite musical groups. The music they create has a unique sound and the songs have deep meaning if you listen closely. This is another incredible bad that amazingly hasn't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet.

It seems that almost all the kids in the late 1970s and 1980s had the at least the first Boston album that was simply called Boston.  This could be because it was one the album selections for the Columbia House Record club that so many of us signed up for and got our first 12 albums for a dollar.

 

My favorite Boston song and one of my favorite songs of all time is Foreplay/Longtime which is almost eight minutes long! CHECK IT OUT HERE.
