Poll: Best Band from Boston ...

[JohnShadows]

... known to some as Beantown, they've had some great acts.

I figured the ones in the poll were the top contenders, but do feel to add your own input. Added NKOTB for @SDPaddlefish

 

[JohnShadows]

Damn, meant to add 'other'.

 

[KansasSooner]

Damn, though I thought there were better bands at the time I still gotta go with Aerosmith. At least they had some songs I could listen to...Dream On is my favorite song of theirs.

Absolutely, especially this version:

What about the J. Geils Band??

Was a band I would have went to see live but never had the chance to...did have a girlfriend who dragged me to a Journey (west coast Boston) concert once...if I knew it I wasn't going to get a wet one later I'd never gone.

Is a great tune. Not a huge Aerosmith fan but mine is Kings and Queens

What about the J. Geils Band??

I thought they were just from Massachusetts, did they actually come from Boston? If so, I want to change my vote...

I mean, that mouth harp...or organ...well you know...

 

[KansasSooner]

Next song up...

Interestingly, although they are one of my favorite bands, they are also the worst concert that I've ever attended. It was back before they went sober, and they came on stage too drunk and high to perform and they were soon boo'd offstage.

 

[JohnShadows]

Aerosmith's first album, and Toys in the Attic, are pretty much flawless. I like "Dream On", but prefer "Movin Out" off that album*, "Sweet Emotion" and "Uncle Salty" (ooo, it's a sunny day outside my window ......) off TITA.




*They also do a great version of Walkin' The Dog on that.

 

[KansasSooner]

"Sweet Emotion"

I had a friend in college who used to practice that on his guitar every day...good song. Forgot about that one.

Well, I guess that's better than what happened to KISS when I was in Norman. I didn't go to the concert but I heard about it. The audience was throwing beer cups at the stage, with beer still in the cups...

Hell one of my favorite bands is Blue Oyster Cult and they were great in concert every time I saw them, which was from 76-whenever like 85....

@KansasSooner They're actually from Worcester just outside of Boston.

Close enough.

So do I get to change my vote? C'mon @GoldenSpur I need a do over if J Geils Band is an option. Oh never mind, you already said you forgot others...fucker.

LOL, cuz I went to a Kiss concert where they were so out of it that they played the recordings of their songs while Kiss acted as if they were actually playing.

I think that's what happened in Tulsa that night. Luckily I had finals in Numerical Methods 1...and had to study about number theory or something...
