Boston

Boston is an American rock band formed by Tom Scholz; their 1976 self-titled debut and singles like "More Than a Feeling" brought major commercial success. Brad Delp was the band's long-time lead vocalist (died 2007). The group is notable for Scholz's meticulous production and the Rockman guitar preamp.

Formed in 1976 by Tom Scholz; breakthrough self-titled debut released 1976 (multi-million sales); Brad Delp was lead singer and died in 2007 (suicide by carbon monoxide); Tom Scholz developed the Rockman headphone amplifier and is known for basement/home-studio recordings and detailed production.

DeBaser reviews consistently praise Boston's 1976 debut and early albums for songwriting, production and Brad Delp's vocals. Tom Scholz's meticulous production and inventions (Rockman, basement recordings) are recurrent points of admiration. Later releases receive mixed-to-negative assessments, with criticism aimed at production choices and inconsistency. The reviews combine nostalgia for the band's peak with critique of their later work.
