More Than a Feeling: Analyzing the Music of Boston, 1976-1988
No Customer Reviews
The Seventies were a distinct and provocative chapter in the history of rock, and of the bands that emerged in that era, none was more distinct and provocative than Boston. Tom Scholz's unlikely basement brainchild blasted out of radios across the US with unprecedented energy and melodic integrity and staggering harmonic power, oozing musical hooks and lyrical themes that take up permanent resonance in the memories of the band's fans with the persistance of Beatles tunes. What made Boston's music so special? How did it come to be? More Than a Feeling explores the band's classic years, 1976-1988, examining in detail the elements and structure of Boston's best songs, from the first track of their debut album to "Peace of Mind" and "Smokin'", from Don't Look Back's "Feelin' Satisfied" and "A Man I'll Never Be" through Third Stage's "Amanda" and "Cool the Engines". It's the first-ever in-depth analysis of the best work of rock's most interstellar band.
