About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Since Tom Scholz is such a slow worker, there were only four Boston albums between the group's 1976 debut and this Greatest Hits collection in 1997. That may mean that there isn't much music to compile, as the reliance on their biggest-selling album, Boston, suggests, but that doesn't matter for most casual fans, since Greatest Hits gathers all of their best songs, from "More Than a Feeling" to "Amanda," on one compact disc. For the collector, the record isn't quite as appealing, even if it contains three new songs as bait. These three songs simply don't deliver the melodic punch or guitar crunch that distinguishes the group's best work. It's nice to hear original vocalist Brad Delp on "Higher Power," but "Tell Me" is slight, and an instrumental version of "The Star Spangled Banner" is nearly an insult. So, for the devoted, Greatest Hits is a mixed bag, but for less dedicated listeners, it may be all the Boston they need. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

May 20, 2004: Unbelievable, Boston is the ONLY band I have never gotten tired of. Amazing vocals, absolutely brilliant instrumentals. You can't beat Boston, for they are the BEST, hands down. Unfortunately, I could only give it a 5 star rating, Boston is more than 2,000 stars out of 5. Boston is off the charts, they cannot be topped.

November 02, 2003: This is a great classic rock CD. "More than a Feeling" and "Higher Power" are possibly some of the best songs ever written.
