Boston - More Than a Feeling

A near perfect song.

Indy Coug · 03-14-2008, 02:33 PM

There are at least 3 or 4 Boston songs better than that one.

Jeff Lebowski · 03-14-2008, 03:08 PM

That's a good one. But I think my favorite Boston song is A Man I'll Never Be.

RC Vikings · 03-14-2008, 03:16 PM

I like "Hitch a Ride" off that album.

jay santos · 03-14-2008, 03:32 PM

I like their sound from the next album Amanda and Cool the Engines. But More than a Feeling's my fav.

"Best" is very difficult. More than a feeling is good. Boston in general is good. However, I think I would have to go with something from Led Zepplin.

Any of these songs are better than Boston's work

Starway to Heaven (yeah yeah we all get a little sick of this song but it is an all time great)
Over the Hills and Far Away
Good Times Bad Times
Black Dog
Thank You
Kashmir
Whole Lotta Love
What Is and What Should Never Be

the list goes on and on

I Want My MTV

Several by the Stones

Do the Beatles and Neil Young count as "Classic Rock."

Beatles are as classic as you can get. Neil Young counts as well, though I can't personally stand most of his music. I know that might be considered blasphamy.

The Stones do need to be mentioned. Sympathy for the Devil was always my favorite Stones song.

As we've discussed here in the past, the Beatles are in a class by themselves. They just are. Too many to list. Tripledaddy?

Neil Young Cinnamon Girl is towards the top of my list for Classic Rock songs.
