  Almost The Definitive Boston Collection September 2, 2008
This disc has most of the essential Boston songs. It features some of their best album cuts like "Cool The Engines", "Smokin'", "Rock And Roll Band", and "Feelin' Satisfied". "Cool The Engines" is also a nice addition to this collection. Most of the hits are present like "More Than A Feeling", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace Of Mind", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Amanda". However songs like "We're Ready", Cantcha Say/Still In Love" and "I Need Your Love" are not included on this collection though they should be. According to Boston's web site, Tom Scholz is remastering this CD for re-release. Maybe "We're Ready", Cantcha Say/Still In Love" and "I Need Your Love" will be included this time. "Tell Me" and "Higher Power" are outstanding tracks as well.

Great cd but.... April 21, 2008
This cd has all of the classic Boston songs we all love, and a few new ones at the time of release. But this compelation could have been much better. I thought that a greatest hit cd was just that, a "greatest hits". How come "We're Ready", and "Can'tcha Say/Still In Love" were omitted? Both of these songs charted in the top 50 when released as singles. Also, what in hell is Tom Scholz obsession with "Living For You"? He also put that song on "Corporate America" Come on Tom that song is really not that good. If you felt the need to include something from the "Walk On" cd then "Surrender To Me" would have been an much better choice. Of the newer songs "Higher Power" is really good. It rocks with the trademark Boston guitar sound that we all know so well. "The Star Spangled Banner/4th Of July Reprise" is totally cool. Very up-tempo with melodic guitars; not to mention the awsome begining with the hyper space pedal guitar effects unique to Boston. Good cd to add to your collection.
what a great album February 29, 2008
From beginning to end, this is a great album. I have been a Boston fan since the very first day I heard Rock N Roll Band. I was always disappointed that the band always waited so long to release a new album, but it was always worth the wait when the album came out, all the way to Corporate America. I think that they should have put the Star Spangled Banner as the number one song on this album, that is such a heart pumping tune. I would have also liked to see them put some more songs from Walk On on the cd. No matter what Boston album you prefer, they are all great albums, and if anyone got to see them in concert, I unfortunately had to wait until their Corporate America Tour, they sounded just as good in concert as they did on all of their cd's. Unfortunately, Rock and Roll lost a great lead singer on March 9th, 2007. Rest in peace Brad Delp, thanks for all of the music and memories.
Way to go there Tom Scholz... January 15, 2008
...and BOSTON. This compilation really shows who the creative and musical brain within the band BOSTON is - just listen to the songs. BTW he also plays all the instruments and does everything himself apart from some drums and most of the vocals. Keep up the excellent work Tom Scholz!!!!
