One of the best hard rock (at the time)/AOR albums released.  Boston's 1976 debut album is a rock radio staple to this day with just about every track still getting played.  I remember hearing this album as a 7 year old and falling in love with it.  From the killer guitar work, to the wonderful harmonies of the vocals.

Track Listing:
1. More Than A Feeling
2. Peace Of Mind
3. Foreplay / Long Time
4. Rock & Roll Band
5. Smokin'
6. Hitch A Ride
7. Something About You
8. Let Me Take You Home Tonight

This album never gets old.  Timeless classic is right, and perhaps the best "summertime at the beach/pool hanging out with buddies drinkin music" ever.

Whenever I'm in a bar with a jukebox, I always make sure to spin Peace of Mind and Something About You...

this one along with the one that I am most likely going to do tomorrow are 2 of the best debut's and both came out in mid to 70's (1976 and 1978).

I really like the first 3 Boston albums.  Third Stage is an underrated gem I think.

Walk On is ok, but too AOR and Delp isn't on it.

Corporate America has 2 good songs surrounded by shit.

What, hard rock, but only "at the time"? Dude, it'll be a hard rock record 'til the end of time. Anyway ...

Total classic, yes. My brother would blast the album incessantly in the 70s, and I dug it. Still do to this day.

It is still hard rock to me, but to a lot of people it isn;t so I added the disclaimer.  lol
