Boston is an American rock band that emerged in the mid-1970s. The band is known for its distinct hard rock sound, characterized by heavy use of multi-track harmonies, and is often credited for pioneering the use of such recording techniques. Led by Tom Scholz, a musician and engineer, Boston's self-titled debut album became a significant milestone in the history of rock music, featuring hits like "More Than a Feeling." Their fusion of progressive and hard rock elements with catchy, melodic hooks significantly influenced the arena rock genre.
