Good one 'Ki' ( ). I didn't vote on this because there really isn't a "worst" one. ALL of them have great songs, and time has been kind to them in general. Like it or not, these bands were MANY fans' introduction to the world of rock and roll music, and rightfully so. Can't knock anyone for that ( ).

This thread is sacrilege and any who vote against these bands should be burnt to death.

ELO? Electric Light Orchestra? Yeah I don't like them either. That reminds me, I can't stand ELP, really lame.

I used to love Queen, but I'd kick them off the stage now, if I could.

I can't believe anyone would vote Boston for this, it's really upsetting and stuff.

What makes Boston less worthy of being on this list than the others?

I gotta say for nostalgia sake I have a soft spot for most of these bands. I remember the first time I skated with a girl was done to Open Arms, it was touching. I remember my first Beer Bong was done to More Then A Feeling.

Well I mean, the other ones were all into trying to be out there and proggy but Boston only focused embraced the kind of cheesiness their upbeat, mega-love ballads, and only based their prog notions in playing really well and having a great vocalist. Of course, "Foreplay" was a little more on the prog-instrumental side, but I think it serves as a buildup to the release of "Long Time." Plus, their music is just so warm and inviting, even though the vocalist went on to kill himself and all; and "More Than a Feeling" is one of the most powerful expressions of love in Rock Music to me, just for how it moves (I guessing chord progressions and melody and stuff).

Personally I see Boston no better talent wise than the either Journey, Styx or Kansas from the original list. The only reason Boston weren't progressive, is that they were a much newer band than the other three and by the time they put out their first album, it was obvious that progressive rock was gradually going into decline as a commercial genre. I guess their warmer feeling comes from the fact that they embraced old fashioned 'rock n roll' into their core sound. Sure Brad Delp was a great vocalist but certainly no better than Steve Perry.
