Do you feel that Boston is overrated?

so you all think Boston is overrated? I'm not saying they are bad, but I'm tired of hearing more than a feeling and piece of mind everywhere. I think that while they are a decent band, they are played way to much on the radio. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thought you were talking about the city. I was getting ready to climb up all into the the internet and kick your ass.

Where do you live? This is 2015 and not the 1980s or are you listening to some classic rock radio station that keeps on playing the same songs over and over?

I live in Tennessee, and yes I hear the song almost every time I tune into my local classic rock station.

Outside of More Than A Feeling and Amanda, I can't think of any other Boston songs that would have enough airplay or nostalgia factors these days that would put them into the overrated camp.

Quick aside. Their debut exploded in the greater Boston area in the winter of 75-76. We got major snow that year and it was "wicked" cold all of the time. I have vivid memories of listening to that album on 8 track early in the morning in the school parking lot while smoking joints before first period in my bud's car. Then walking into school wasted and freezing becasue we were too cool to wear proper winter clothes.

Denim jacket + 5 degrees = Pain

I think they are really good, I just feel that they get a bit to much attention.
