love the stones.... love henley.. can tolerate that 'band from boston', and the dead were either all over it or missed by a wide margin.

the 'stones' i spoke of was a couple disobedient wives looking over their shoulders and becoming such as a result.  that's about where cali is right now (at least in the offices of leadership)  

"when i lit out from reno i was trailed by twenty hounds"... 

Just remember to nix the beans.

You guys and your meat and water chili...  tsk, tsk...

I enjoyed OU812

I enjoyed OU8BVO

Tom Scholz is a genius but could have done so much more with Boston.  What did they make, only 3-4 albums, but it was such a good sound, with the synthesizer and guitars and Bradley Delp's voice.  So smooth but yet energized.  Like a Cmaj7 or an Fmaj7 chord, but with a charge.  I first saw them when they were the front band for Black Sabbath in Tulsa in 1976, right when MTAF began climbing the charts.  They were already better than Sabbath, imo.

I did some sifting of my music library awhile back.  Of Boston, I only kept the albums Boston and Don't Look Back.  I chunked Third Stage, which had maybe 2 good tunes, but was a let down relative to the first two.

The style and sound of Boston was something where a little was just right, but too much would have burned it out.

I saw them at the 2nd Texxas Jam, but I missed the Don't Look Back tour with Hagar opening.  I don't remember much about seeing them, but I still have the stub that says I was there.  Their stage performance likely wasn't the highlight of Boston, more just the great songs and unique sound.

for a month or 2 back in 1981 with a new pair of head phones, I thought Boston was the best thing ever

but, I got over it

still very good, but........... yes, those two albums are high rate classics

I preferred Judas Priest to Sabbath

"You got another thing coming" always makes me think of the Sooners and Huskers football rivalry.

the Sooners got another thing comin

Huskers screaming for Vengeance
