This video is ranking the tracks on the 1976 self-titled album by Boston, which is my favorite album of all time. I go into detail on everything I love about the instrumentation, songwriting, and production, and how much of a game changer the album was in the history of rock music. So I guess you could call this a review or a retrospective, only in the format of a countdown. And who better to discuss this album than a Masshole music nerd that might or might not live in the area the album is rumored to have been recorded in?
