  1. 1. Boston vs. Foreigner vs. Kansas



Recommended Posts

I voted for Foreigner. I am always surprised by how many Foreigner songs I enjoy. Depending on my mood, Kansas would probably win on another day. As for Boston, the debut album is probably the most overplayed album in U.S. radio history. You simply can't get away from it. Enough already! And Boston wrote that awful song "Amanda".

I'll go run and hide after I post this, but am I the only one who thinks they all sound the same?

 

I especially get Foreigner and Kansas confused sometimes.

they do kinda. i can't disagree there. that's why you see them lumped together a lot.

 

Foreigner and Boston REALLY sound similar to me. at least Kansas had the violin. lol.

I don't think Foreigner sound like Kansas at all.

 

But Lorraine, I do find myself confusing Styx and Kansas in my head often!!!

I agree about Boston and Foreigner.

 

Actually...nearly every AOR band sounds the same to me...i made a playlist two years ago and I was surprised when I played it that it was hard to differentiate one band from the other.

 

Eighties Kansas actually sounds a lot like Foreigner.

No variety in AOR all.....i say that as a huge fan too.

I'm not totally surprised but... They do sound very different.

This^^^. I loved to hate all three of these bands(also The Eagles) back in the day but they were unavoidable. Now I enjoy the fact that I know their tunes so well...

I'm sure they do, but I get them confused in my mind because they all seem to have come out at the same time although I know they didn't.

This must be 'band from the 70s' vs Kansas poll week.

 

Kansas yet again.

 

Boston and Foreigner are just AOR filler.

 

Now Kansas vs ELP would be an interesting poll.

It doesn't bother me at all either it's such an appealing sound!

What makes Kansas better than Foreigner?

 

I'd say they are more challenging. Have you heard their earliest work? The first five albums are more akin to Genesis or early Rush than, say, Boston or Foreigner.

Yes, I have heard those albums, but I didn't care for them that much back then.

This is a hard decision. I do enjoy all three, but I went with Foreigner since I enjoy listening to them the most out of the choices. Also, If a song of theirs comes on the radio, I'll sing along a lot faster to them as opposed to the others.

Foreigner are more straight forward in song structure to the point they wear really really fast for me.

 

So i find myself unable to do a Foreigner marathon because of that .
