The band Boston is my favorite band of all time and it will always be. I stress anyone to listen to them. For those out there who think they suck then you obviously don't know what music is. Tom Scholz is a genius and the music was made to perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom is a genious and is a great musician who should noticed more. Brock Busong ,15 Kerrville Tx

Tom Scholz is one of the best musicians of all time. He plays guitar, bass, keyboard, violin, drums, etc. Tom Scholz is a genius. His synchronicity using 3+ guitars is unbelievable. The Boston sound is completely original and is their trademark and should never be attempted to mimic unless you can play as good as Scholz can. He doesn't believe in violence toward humans or animals, and gives to charitable organizations. Scholz doesn't do drugs either. Tom Scholz in a well-rounded, staight-edged musician and a great role model for musician everywhere. Listen to Boston! This band ROCKS!

Tom Scholz may not have been original in his arrangement of a rock song: Rhythm Section backs up an amazing vocal section accentuated with some amazing solos. And even his lyrics in a lot of cases were not especially telling of anything significant; I see my Marianne walking away(whatever!). I closed my eyes and I slipped away (even more WHATEVER!!) And even that patented guitar sound was identical to the lead guitar sound on 'Suffragate City' (David Bowie). So what makes his hits so huge that they are still in such heavy radio rotation almost 30 years later? Why is it that most people regard Tom Scholz as some sort of Wayne Gretzky in the league of Music? Here's my take on it. In an industry of poor role models and shoddy musicians, Tom Scholz gave us someone even our rock-hating parents approved of and something musically that us 'Smoke On The Water' weaned musicians could aspire to; I spent years mastering every solo from the first album. In fact, I now get told that all my original solos sound like a cross between Boston and Alan Parsons; I'll take it! Don't forget, this guy was in his young 20's and traded a life of intelligencia and high standards to bring us his interpretation of rock and roll. And even at such a tender age, demonstrated such precision in instrumental performance, long before MIDI and digital quantizers could do it automatically. And maybe 'More Than A Feeling' is little more lyrically than a 'smattering' of words, but I feel uplifted every time I 'hear that old song they used to play'. And even if his guitar sound wasn't actually original, the way he recorded and used the sound was different enough to make legions of electric guitarists struggle to emulate it. I think that Tom's contribution to life and music is that he is a respectable guy, who brought respectable writing, playing and production to a genre of music that badly needed this; and still does. Like Wayne Gretzky, I think it'll be 'such a long time' before music sees another ambassodor as fine as Tom Scholz.
