SongWriter (s)Original ReleaseYearTom Scholz1986Tom Scholz Gerry Green Brad Delp1986Tom Scholz Fran Sheehan Brad Delp1986"Corporate America"Tom Scholz2002- More Than A Feeling (1976) Scholz always knew that this was a special song. That’s why it was placed as the opening track on Boston’s first album, and released as the flagship single.
- Peace Of Mind (1976) The second-best Boston song came right after the best one – as track two on the debut album. Like so much of Boston’s music, Peace Of Mind has an uplifting quality: in its freewheeling riff, its rich melody and dazzling vocal harmonies.
- Livin’ For You (1994) When making the fourth Boston album, Walk On, Tom Scholz had a big problem. A new singer was required, after he and Brad Delp had fallen out.
- Smokin’ (1976) The title spoke volumes. For all the sophistication in Boston’s debut album, there was one song that just rocked out, and it was Smokin’.

- 'More Than a Feeling' Almost every single track on Boston's debut album is a classic: The majority of cuts found on our list of the Top 10 Boston Songs come from the LP.
- 'Amanda' From: 'Third Stage' (1986) After an eight-year delay, Boston's third album finally came out in 1986, and the opening track and first single wasn't the out-and-out rocker fans were expecting or hoping for.
- 'Long Time' "Long Time," like the instrumental intro "Foreplay" that's often attached to it, was written about six years before Boston's self-titled debut album came out.
- 'Don't Look Back' From: 'Don't Look Back' (1978) Back in the '70s, it was unheard of for an artist to go a year without releasing a new record. So, when Boston didn't follow up their bestselling debut album right away, fans wondered what was going on.

We start our Top 10 Boston Songs list with an excellent track from the band’s third album, ThirdStage. “Cool The Engines” was easily the standout rocking track on the record and, in our opinion, the last great original rock and roll Boston song. The album Third Stage was released in 1986, eight years after the release of their second album. Legal i...
The Boston song “Feelin’ Satisfied” was released on the band’s sophomore album entitled Don’t Look Back. The album was released in August 1978. This great track sounded like it would have fit well on the band’s debut album. “Feelin’ Satisfied” was the third single from the album. It failed to break into the Billboard Top 40, stalling at number fort...
It did not take long to get to the band’s debut album on this Top 10 Boston Songs list. Every one of the eight Boston songs released on their first album should have made this list. We narrowed it to six to make room for some of their other records. The song “Hitch a Ride” appeared on side two of the record and was placed in the third spot. We love...
In the summer of 2017, I saw Boston in a double bill with Joan Jett. When Tom Scholz introduced the song “Amanda,” Tom Scholz told the audience that the song was responsible for millions of girls being named “Amanda.” Well, it was a big hit for the band, but we are not so sure about Tom Scholz’s claim. Actually, we never really like this song all t...
The great Boston song “Rock and Roll Band” was the opening track on side two of the band’s debut album Boston. Now that’s how you open up an album’s second side. “Rock and Roll Band” would not only stand as an album side opener, it would also serve the band well for years as the opening song of many of their concerts. It’s just one of those songs t...
Boston’s second album, Don’t Look Back, was one of the most eagerly anticipated follow-up albums in rock and roll history. It took two years between their debut album and their sophomore release. In modern times, that may not be too big a deal since most artists release albums in the current period every two to four years. However, in the 1970s mos...
“Smokin’ was released on the band’s debut album. The song contains one of our favorite rock and roll organ solos of all time. This one would become one of the most-played album tracks on FM radio in the 1970s. This was such a killer song on an album filled with killer songs. The metal band Anthrax released a cover version of the song that sounded v...
The final three songs on our Top 10 Boston songs list form the entire opening side of the band’s debut album. In essence, side one of Boston’s debut album could easily be argued to be one of the greatest album sides in classic rock history. The “Foreplay/ Long Time” musical recording is a masterpiece and one of the defining moments in classic rock ...
We flipped back and forth between the top two songs on this Boston Songs list. “Piece of Mind” was the second track on the Boston record, and if it were not for the sentimentality of the impact that “More Than A Feeling” had on generation, “Piece of Mind” would have been number one. “Piece of Mind” was released as the tried single from the album be...
“More Than A Feeling” was the song that made Boston a household name. It was a song that merged the art of musicianship, production, and songwriting to another level. The song was so brilliant it had fans thinking that Boston would be a band that would release incredible music for years to come. So much promise, so much potential. We could not wait...
