Not a huge fan, but Tom Scholz's rhythm-guitar tone throughout that album slays.

I personally think all of the songs on Boston's first album were great, a nearly perfect album. However, the next three not so much...
That's another thing - the memories attached to music can make a mediocre song really enjoyable.
It's no different from movies that rewrite history for commercial gain.Self censorship for the greedy pursuit of gain has to be one of the lowest acts
The WhoWhat band or musician has every released albums where every track was great, album after album...
A fundamental truth, methinks.Today's music is tomorrows Muzak.
I read somewhere that you know you've made it small when you hear your song in an elevator.Today's music is tomorrows Muzak.
I am old.I was at a children's party at one of those Gym-bor-ree places and A/C D/C was playing over the PA.

I have a better appreciation of it after listening to a professional voice coach and opera singer analysing singers. Charismatic VoiceWell said. Music is art. There is no right or wrong. Just individual tastes and opinions.
I am not a musician, but music is a major love of mine (especially live concerts). My favorite will always be 70s and 80s to early 90s heavy metal music (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Sabbath, Scorpions, etc.), but I also live all forms of Rock music (a guilty pleasure of mine is Rod Stewert and Brian Adams, and boy do I love Queen).
As a lover of metal music, I find that todays kids are more about just being heavier and louder than anything else, and the music in it is being lost, but that does not mean there is not good metal music coming out today.
I also can find good music in just about every genre. I even love going to musicals such as Wicked and Phantom of the Opera). I just don't like techno and electronic music. Just not my form of art.
I think too many people though are close minded when it comes to music, and they are missing out.
You might need your hearing checked...These days no one listens to the lyrics. That's because the lyrics are either unintelligible or drivel or both. There are no songwriters today of the caliber of Cole Porter and his ilk. Here is one that I'll dedicate to a girl I loved who died last week.
...And your point is?You might need your hearing checked...
Very rarely, does county music go on about killing police, shooting someone in the face and all, typically country music is far more mellow, often lamenting about a girl that left the guy and such.interesting item on news re modern music
Research has shown that rap is far more likely to be presented in court and interpreted literally than other genres of music. A 2016 study by criminologists at the University of California, Irvine, asked two groups of participants to read the same set of violent lyrics. One group was told the lyrics came from a country song, while the other was told they came from rap. Participants rated whether they found the lyrics offensive and whether they thought the lyrics were fictional or based on the writer's experience. They judged the lyrics to be more offensive and true to life when told they were rap.
The Irvine findings mirrored those of a study conducted by Stuart Fischoff, a psychology professor at California State University, Los Angeles, almost 20 years earlier. Dr. Fischoff presented 134 students with one of four scenarios about a young man and asked them to rate their impressions of him across nine personality traits, including "caring-uncaring," "gentle-rough" and "capable of murder-not capable of murder."
The first scenario described "an 18-year-old African American male high school senior," a track "champion" with "a good academic record" who made "extra money by singing at local parties." The second scenario described the same person but added one detail: "He is on trial accused of murdering a former girlfriend who was still in love with him, but has repeatedly declared that he is innocent of the charges." The third scenario did not mention the murder but instead asked the participant to read a set of rap lyrics by the young man. The fourth mentioned both the murder and the lyrics.
Dr. Fischoff found that the participants who read only about the lyrics reacted more negatively to the young man than the group who had read only about the alleged murder. "Clearly," he wrote, "participants were more put off by the rap lyrics than by the murder charges."
