"Can't cha say you believe in me" (Rating: 5 out of 5) I truly can't say enough about Boston. Of all my favorites Boston has to be one of the top 7 Classic rock groups. True AOR! Listen over and over. Meaty rock!
Good for casual Boston listeners (Rating: 3 out of 5) As a serious Boston fan, I wanted to get this CD so I don't leave gaps in my collection, but I realized some of the best songs have been omitted on this CD, like "Hitch a ride" , "Used to bad news" , "It's easy", "I need your love"... Obviously, no compilation is perfect, but why did you omit "Hitch a ride" Mr. Scholz? This song has one of the best, if not THE BEST guitar solo ending, and it could have been included instead of having 2 versions of "Higher power" (which is a crapy song, in my opinion of course). Anyways, to make it short, this compilation is VERY good for casual Boston listeners who don't have the previous CDs, but as far as I am concerned, I'd rather make my own "Best Hits" and save my $$ for new Boston material.
never gets old (Rating: 4 out of 5) Got to admit, can hear most of this on an FM radio, but listening to them back to back still rocks. Much of the later stuff Amanda is horrible, but the magic of the first album comes through. Be forewarned, the booklet expouses a bunch of goofy radical policical causes that detract from the music. Hard to believe anyone could make music this good and believe in such nonsense like the vegan crap.
Almost The Definitive Boston Collection (Rating: 4 out of 5) This disc has most of the essential Boston songs. It features some of their best album cuts like "Cool The Engines", "Smokin'", "Rock And Roll Band", and "Feelin' Satisfied". "Cool The Engines" is also a nice addition to this collection. Most of the hits are present like "More Than A Feeling", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace Of Mind", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Amanda". However songs like "We're Ready", Cantcha Say/Still In Love" and "I Need Your Love" are not included on this collection though they should be. According to Boston's web site, Tom Scholz is remastering this CD for re-release. Maybe "We're Ready", Cantcha Say/Still In Love" and "I Need Your Love" will be included this time. "Tell Me" and "Higher Power" are outstanding tracks as well.
Great music - but problems with the CD (Rating: 5 out of 5) Great music from a great band but I have problems (no CD in there) with playing the CD on 2 different CD-Players (Pioneer and Marantz) only on my Laptop it is working.
