Released in 1976, Boston’s first album titled “Boston”, was a massive hit, selling over 17 million copies. And there’s no question why. It was recorded by singer Brad Delp and guitarist/producer Tom Scholz in a basement in the middle of Boston. Although the album only has one top ten hit, “More Than a Feeling,” peaking at number five, the album is still great. I personally have it on vinyl and love to just listen through it. There isn’t really a bad song on it at all so here’s my review.

Single Sunday – Prince, Bowling For Soup, The Tragic Thrills
Dear Reader,
Single Sunday is a new weekly thing that we will do along with album reviews. Every Sunday, there will be a collection of singles, usually 1-3, that will be a quicker, easier read for your leisure filled Sunday. Single Sunday aims to be a more fact and background based information about the artist and the song, though it still has a song review feel to it. We hope you enjoy the 3 singles that have been selected which include: Nothing Compares 2 U by Prince, Ain’t Scared by The Tragic Thrills, and 1985 by Bowling For Soup. Enjoy!
