My God, yes! Brad Delp and Tom Scholz WERE 'BOSTON'! The rawness and emotion of Delp's vocals, the melodic music, the novel sounding, spaced-out guitar crunch effects of Scholz, etc. That first Boston album was an absolute milestone in rock history (1976), and easily one of the top, definitive releases of the 70's. I was in high school at the time, and remember the utter frenzy created at the local record stores when it was released, following the success of 'More Than A Feeling' and 'Peace Of Mind' on the radio. There was a huge line going around the block, with police barricades just to get the debut album! I'll never forget it. In addition, whether many realize it or not, it was bands like Sabbath, Rush, Zeppelin, UFO, Boston, early Scorps, etc. that spawned and influenced the Heavy Metal genre afterwards, and prompted many a pimply faced teen to pick up a guitar.R.I.P. Brad Delp... you were a rock STAR amongst STARS!!!!
