Of the two choices, I would go with Boston.

 

But my favorite recording would be the Grateful Dead at the Boston Music Hall (June 9, 1976) released as Road Trips Volume 4 Number 5.

Boston. that one of my fav Debuts ever. sure they never came CLOSE to matching it. but they could have done just that album and they'd STILL be remembered fondly.

I like to think if the label hadn’t rushed production on Don’t Look Back, Sholz would have brought it up to the level of the debut. One or two more songs and more finesse in the guitar tones and overall sound of the record is all I think it really needs.

Aerosmith is one of my 3 desert island bands, along with the Doors and the Scorpions.

 

By desert island I mean that I would like to see them stranded on it. And then the military uses it as a weapons testing site.

 

Nuclear weapons.

Which record takes the cake?

Seems I did...too late now.

Boston - for it's technical merits, and it's sort of prog leanings.

 

 

 

PS: The Red Sox suck every year.

Kinda thought this would be closer. Where are all the Aerosmith fans?

Stiff competition. That Boston debut doesn't have a note out of place.

I voted for Aerosmith. Never been a fan of Boston. What I have heard from them is good but I never had the urge to hear any full albums by them. That being said, their debut is a huge album and overall more popular than Rocks. I can see how they're winning the poll.

I know, but it always seemed to me much of TRF was made of sizable Aerosmith fans, and many of them would quickly place Rocks as one of their best records, if not their best. So to see those fans put Boston's debut first is really a huge compliment to that record.

ROCKS. No question.

 

I've never owned a Boston album. More than a Feeling ? :moon:

 

 

I see my Marianne walkin' away :rfl:
