Boston's first album (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

More than a Feeling, followed by Peace of Mind, followed by Foreplay/Long Time- has there ever been a better side of music?

 

[zamboni]

It's obviously good stuff, but far from the best.

That said, looking forward to seeing them in concert this summer.

 

[msommer]

Nice pop rock, good stuff. Best ever album side? No.

I'd put the over/under on better sides of music somewhere in the 5,000 ballpark.

Bunch of snobs in here.

 

[Joe Summer]

Name another album where EVERY SONG got regular airplay on FM radio. Then name another album where EVERY SONG still got regular airplay 30 years after it was released.

 

[DocHolliday]

Killer album but not my favorite side of an album.

A few I prefer:

Master of Puppets

Appetite for Destruction

Operation Mindcrime

The Wall

Back in Black

Number of the Beast

Heaven and Hell

Ten

Live at Folsum Prison

Abbey Road

Escape

Zep IV

Too Fast for Love

Zep IV. That said, plenty of what was pumped through AOR through payola arrangements was not good.

 

[Eephus]

Name another album where EVERY SONG got regular airplay on FM radio. Then name another album where EVERY SONG still got regular airplay 30 years after it was released.

Pretty much every Beatles album

All true, yet they still played more of the albums back then instead of just one or two singles.

 

[DocHolliday]

All me crazy, but radio play does not mean that much to me. Lots of what was and is on the radio simply sucks.

That Boston work was awesome. If that is your type of music, I can see it being your favorite album side.

Off the top of my head and without checking the entire track list I'd go with The Cars first album.

Can add Dark Side Of The Moon, for starters.

Days of Future Passed--Side 2

 

[CletiusMaximus]

You guys calling out albums need to specify, 1 or 2 / A or B. For Boston, the A side was awesome because it only had the three songs Tim mentioned, and Foreplay/Long Time was almost 10 minutes long. As we learned in Fast Times at Ridgemont, the beauty of Zeppelin IV is side 1.

Definitely. Both are all-time greats on my list.

I'll add Van Halen I to that. Of course, I was really high a lot back then but that shouldn't matter.

Flawless album imo

Anymore, I hear a Boston song, I change the station.

Completely overplayed this album in my youth. I agree it's a great side of music, just not for me anymore.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I agree, a truly great album.

Pretty much every Beatles album

XThe Beatles were great but after 30 years the terrestrial stations stopped playing the obscurities on a regular basis.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Definitely an all-time great album and an all-time great album side.

Went back and checked the track list and yup this one deserves strong consideration. You don't hear Don't Cha Stop very often anymore but every other song on this album still gets a lot of radio play.

Side one No. Title Writer(s) Vocals Length 1. "Good Times Roll" Ocasek 3:44 2. "My Best Friend's Girl" Ocasek 3:44 3. "Just What I Needed" Benjamin Orr 3:44 4. "I'm in Touch with Your World" Ocasek 3:31 5. "Don't Cha Stop" Ocasek 3:01 Side two No. Title Writer(s) Vocals Length 6. "You're All I've Got Tonight" Ocasek 4:13 7. "Bye Bye Love" Orr 4:14 8. "Moving in Stereo" Greg Hawkes, Ocasek Orr 4:41 9. "All Mixed Up" Orr 4:14

For Dark Side Of The Moon, flip a coin.

 

[John Bender]

Rock and Roll Band might be the best song on side a. Rocks imo

 

[Bottomfeeder Sports]

The band that Boston didn't like following way back when but will try again in August?

Side 1 or 2
