Boston and foreigner. Two of the best rock debuts ever

One of the greatest vocalist to ever hold a mic...in any genre! RIP Brad Delp 🙏

Brad Delp's voice is absolutely one of the greatest ever. I was blessed to grow up in Southeastern Massachusetts with Boston, Aerosmith, J. Geils, The Cars, all Boston bands. Amazing teenage years.

The 70s was an incredible time for music. So many 70s songs bring me back to specific times and places ❤

I first heard More than a Feeling when it came out in 1976...I was 6 years old. Even being so young it caught my ear...it really did. Unfortunately I was too young to see them in concert and watch them play it. Even to this day I jog with Boston on my ears and remember the 70's and all the fun times being a kid then...always wishing I could go back in time.

Some VERY cryptic lyrics in that tune, considering Brad's passing.... ('Gotta crack this ice and fly....')

Don't you LOVE how the guitar can take over a high note from Brad, and then he takes it back? No one does this like Boston. Brad Delp was one of a kind vocalist and Tom Scholz is a maestro musician and technician. He built the studio this was recorded in. In his basement. Then later, he invented the Rockman guitar effects pedal! More Than a Feeling is one of the six songs I would have to have on a deserted Island for my very survival.

I was jamming to this album brand new in the barracks, stationed in Germany, drinking Bitburger Pilsner. Read about the origins of this first album, done in his basement and one guy did all the instruments.

As I did when I bought my first stereo setup in Kitzingen, West Germany. Boston, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin etc, all on LP. 1982-84 served with Battery A, 3d Battalion, 67th Air Defense Artillery as part of 3d Infantry Division. Best tour of my 20 years in the Army.

Most underrated band in music history!!

It’s so obvious that you’re a fan of melodic, guitar-driven rock and roll. Welcome 🤗

RIP Brad Delp. What a voice! Such a shame.

This is a very rare type of song that can bring a smile to your face and tear to your eye at the same time.

Classic Rock Anthem: "More Than A Feeling" by BOSTON!!!

Hard to imagine Tom Scholz wrote produced and played everything on the album! The only thing he didn't do was the vocals, which he hired a vocalist to sing on the record. It was entirely recorded on a 4-track recorder then brought to an actual studio for mixing and mastering.

Boston is a great band to listen. On the same hard-rock family you have Kansas, Styx, Toto, Journey, Reo Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Meat Loaf and Survivor. Closer to Deep Purple’s sound, check Uriah Heep, Blue Oyster Cult and Magnum. Besides Scorpions, dive on early Def Leppard, UFO, Michael Schenker Group and early Europe. Doctor, Doctor from UFO, Strange Ways from Deep Purple and Wasted from Def Leppard, are great songs for your ride. Great stuff!

There is a more recent project called Intelligent Music Project that gathers musicians from Toto, Asia, Uriah Heep... it's soft rock, but good stuff!... I don't know if this is what you were thinking... "T" might like this info, Michael Sweet from Stryper was Boston's singer for 4 years (2007-2011), but I don't remember anything recorded with him. All the best!

I was 13 yrs old when this album came out. It sold a million copies in one month! Everybody had this album. It blew the world away! It was recorded in the guitar players basement! Talk about knowing what your doing! This album to date has sold over a billion copies world wide!!! No band has ever hit that mark except for BOSTON. They got big so fast that the lead singer Brad Delp was totally overwhelmed. It broke him and he committed suicide to escape the fame. There is no disaster like fame if you are not ready for it! He will be greatly missed.

You should check out Foreplay/Long time and Smokin' from them as well.

You should do a whole Album Review of Boston Boston…..it is definately one of the best albums ever from start to finish…keep those Boston reactions coming !!!

big smile instantly... 😊 can´t stop the music

Fun Fact: the drummer is the Rock Dawyne Johnson father in law.. the drummer has long passed.

Man back in the day. The standard was through the roof to make it... Today.. so many trawlers..

There’s no doubt that the 70s was the greatest decade of music, when musicians actually played and singers actually sang!! Love the reactions bro, much love 🤘🤘🤘

This was the number 1 selling debut album of all time for many years true Perfection!

My 1st concert at WSU in 1978. University town that didn't sleep after 3 hours of Boston. ❤

Queen, Kansas, Doobies, Steely Dan , Three Dog Night, Bad Company... SO MANY great bands from the 70s 💕

Man.....check out ":foreplay/ long time"....by Boston...I feel ya, this song specifically takes me back to being 15 again every time, it never fails. love it.

Among the bands you mentioned Boston is "special"

This song ruled for a while in 77/78.

This album is easily and arguably the greatest debut album in the history of recorded music. Every song on it is a masterpiece. Don't take my word on it, listen to it and read your reviews. To say this , Bostons' debut album is the GOAT is a very strong statement, particularly considering the contenders... This album stands above and amongst the best ever... There are only 3 other 'debut' albums that come close, and they are all just one track or two behind and all tied for second place . Led Zeppelin 1 Van Halen 1 Guns and Roses ( Appetite for Destruction) ✌🤟 How's that for stiff completion... Rock-on TnT...😎

This song… I never tire of it. This song is now one of those old songs they used to play but it never gets old… it’s timeless. I am like the Marianne in the lyrics who walked away from a boy way back when it came out, and he’s gone now and I still miss him. It gets me every time. And when Brad Delp hits that incredible high note and holds it, my heart breaks all over again. Thank you so much for sharing this tune. Everything about it is amazing… the music, the vocals, the memories .❤❤❤

Many of us elders listened to these old classics when they were first released, and heard them over many years, getting so used to hearing them, we took them for granted. Now, after all these years, we watch someone much younger hearing them for the first time and see the expression on their face, as they sit in amazement at the sounds, reminding us that these really are great songs, even today.

This song is Timeless. I have to say that I favor watching the video for this song, I love watching Brad Delp sing it, and it brings you back to that time. He was so Incredible. I hope you will check the video out. RIP Brad!!

This song brings me back to a time when I was a 10 year old boy. All those feelings of what it was like growing up having my parents, brothers, and sister there. It's like a dream.

Listening to this album start to finish is a special treat. It keeps building momentum with each song and you'll eventually hit the top end of your volume knob.

Boston had EVERYTHING, their music is so beautiful. I saw them live in 2016 and they were just as good! It's just so well done.

This was the song that introduced Boston to the world...it was life changing hearing it as a teenager...every song released after this was better than the last...Spectacular...

70's into the late 80's was the era of some of the best rock music. The vocals were amazing, the musical arrangements were great. I grew up on this music!

Just listen to how GREAT Brad, (RIP) sings, the drums, the air guitar!

More than 40 years later Brad Delps vocals still blow my mind!

One of the best Feel good, be bopin, skipping through life, top down and cruising songs Ever.

This was for me the start of my appreciation of music. I fell I love with the utter brilliance an talents of Brads vocals an Toms genius. It was an album where every song was a hit. I was thirteen when I bought this an still 45 years later I still feel the wonder an joy each time I listen

Spot on !!! You said it!! I totally go back to those days and remember the people and the feelings I had back then. I see my Maryann.....😆

All of the rock from this era is beautiful. I have no complaints

one of the best bands ever , smooth melodic and flowing , they just carry you away ;)

My favorite song by Boston is “A Man I’ll Never Be.” From the album “Third Stage.”

One of my favorite bands of all time. I love seeing people hear Boston for the first time.

'Foreplay/long Time' and 'Rock and Roll Band' are amazing. RIP Brad (lead vocals) and Sib..(drums)...

I play this in my ear bud's at work and rock the night away ,I'm a 79to80s lady best years I've had.

Welcome to the Boston rabbit hole. Great Great band. Don't leave the hole, embrace it!! So many more from this band you will love.

Most of this album was recorded in his basement with a drummer and just him❤ look it up it's a really interesting story

These dudes are the best. My uncles played Boston nonstop. I miss the 70's

Crazy all the music was done by one guy and a singer. Interesting band to dive into. One guy wrote all the lyrics and music. And played all the instruments in the album from a home built studio in an apartment. This guy invented a lot of stuff studio wise. He worked for IBM or something at one point.

I've recently become a fan of Reaction videos. I enjoy watching young guys appreciate the music that was so impactful when I was young. Well done, TNT.

Deep Purple Burn , Space Truckin, Smoke on the water , Knocking at your back door, Pictures of Home. Cool reaction!

What's amazing is that to get the guitar sustain, back then, Scholz was like a scientist, figure out ampload, voltage regulation, in order to crank the head and get natural compression, sustain, straight Marshall amp head. There was no digital Boston patch to dial up in 1976.

What an excellent choice for a comeback to classic rock! Next recommended Boston song: “Foreplay/Longtime”

Ohhhh, this song brings back memories. I dated a guy back in my late teens who had a black TransAm with the orange & red stripes down the sides, t-tops and red, leather interior. This beast had a shift kit in it and had the Boston spaceship and the crystal city was hand-painted (not by him, of course) on the hood scoop. Every time I hear a Boston song, it brings me back to that car chirping into second gear! /m\ Boston was always amazing. Killer vocal range, dueling guitars in solos. I recommend: Smokin' Peace of Mind

There are some songs that are on another level and become legendary anthems this is one of them ! best ever in my opinion

Hands down this is my favorite album. There is not one skip song on it! Absolute perfection. Brad Delp had one of the most amazing voices. Check out their songs off this album. Foreplay/longtime Peace of mind Rock and roll band

I was 10 when this album came out and now I'm 55 and it's still an absolute masterpiece after all these years, Brad delp was a one of kind singer!!!!

Undeniable classic. I don't know if the perfect rock song exists but if it does this is it and it'll still hold up in another 50 years

I could listen to about 10 songs total over and over. This is one of them!

That music is more than perfect.. btw.. that spaceship is a guitar turned upside down! What an art!!

I wish they were still around. I only got to see them live once. ❤🤘

Again, love your smile.

I love watching people discover the music of my youth. Also, you actual react more than most when listening to it!

8th grade, military school. 3am this song starts blaring from another kids room. I mean, full blast, 3am! Wakes the whole school up. Poor kid paid for that one, but in 56 years it's still one of my favorite memories. :)

The 60’s and 70’s rock is the BEST !!!!!

I tell you my man, you really need to hear the SACD (Super Audio CD) version. You can buy the digital download online or search for the physical disc. Listening to it in DSD (Direct Stream Digital) is a whole new world. Find yourself a DAC (digital to analog converter) that supports DSD or DoP (DSD over PCM) and get a really nice pair of headphones or an SACD player with a good amplifier and speakers and be blown away.

he he he .. you know it its cool i have been listening to this band for maney years and ill never get sick of it . i am glad you like it

Made in USA baby 😊, este sonido llegó hasta la Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego !! Saludos

Boston's debut album is one of the rarities where every song on the album is still in heavy rotation on Classic Rock FM radio stations even to this very day. Every song is at least as good as "More Than A Feeling". I'd recommend "Foreplay/Long Time" from this album next. It's incredible!

The absolute best music came from that era. I know because I grew up with it. Great reaction!

My High School music. Driving around and blasting a Boston cassette - brings back great memories.

👍 Our playlist usually meant a briefcase full 8-tracks and later cassettes. Lol There's a deep purple performance often overlooked. That is Mandrake Root performed live in London in 1970. I had heard the song decades ago but a KZread suggestion led me to their video. It was the first viewing it. It is beyond intensity!

You Couldn't Ask For A More Incredible Debut Album,, From The First Song To The Very Last.

Great classic rock song. Love it! People are just now noticing that the UFO on the album cover is actually a guitar turned upside down. 🤷‍♂️

One of the greatest rock songs in history. Period.

What I end up remembering about most Boston music is how the guitar seems to soar; like you are lifting off to take a ride.

What always amazes me about this song is the use of Brad Delp's ability to hold notes as a lead into heavy guitar. Amazing bridge. Marianne, I believe, is Tom Scholz's older cousin he had a crush on when he was just ten. So it was never meant to be.

we used to crank this on our stereos when this song came on, the whole barracks ROCKED!!! a true classic...and if you want your mind really blowin, check out the bio on the one who is behind this band...the great Tom Scholz

You just looked so happy when that Intro built up and then the singing started! Like a little kid, I'm so thankful to have shared this moment with you. Awesome reaction, big fan of you and your wife!

Boston is PHENOMINAL!!

Boston always makes me smile and feel good.
