Boston

Like many detail-oriented bands, hard rockers Boston emphasize quality over quantity.

After emerging in 1976 with an era-defining self-titled debut LP and the smoldering hit “More Than a Feeling,” the group became notorious for taking years between albums.

This penchant for sonic perfectionism comes from band architect and guitarist Tom Scholz, a gear enthusiast and classically trained pianist who earned a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from MIT before pursuing rock ’n’ roll.
