Rock & roll heaven now has one more occupant. Brad Delp, lead singer of Boston, passed away on Friday. Boston is one of those bands that I can always listen to-every time they come on the radio the volume goes up and a smile spreads across my face. I listened to Boston and Third Stage constantly during high school. Brad left the band for a while and they released Walk On without him. The album was pretty good, but definitely missing something-Brad. He rejoined the band and they released Corporate America, which to be honest pretty much sucked. There were a few songs that sounded vaguely like Boston, but they had strayed from what made them so good-guitars and feeling. However, there was always the hope that they would get back to their roots and release something spectacular. Unfortunately, that will never happen now. Brad, rest in peace. You are missed.
