The Great Boston Album Conundrum: More Than a Feeling, But How Many Albums?
Ah, Boston. The band that brought us rock anthems like "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Peace of Mind." They're practically synonymous with lighters swaying in the air (remember lighters?) and cranking the volume to eleven. But here's the thing: how many albums did these musical masterminds actually release? Buckle up, because this mystery is about to be solved, with a healthy dose of fun along the way.

Counting Sheep, Counting Albums: A Tale of Two Approaches
There are two main schools of thought on this pressing issue. Some folks, let's call them the "More Than a Feeling" diehards, swear there's a neverending well of Boston albums. Every time they get a hankering for a power ballad, another Boston album magically appears in their record collection. Others, the pragmatists (or maybe the ones who've embraced the digital age), know there has to be a finite number. But what is it?
The Truth is Out There (and it's Six)
Fear not, music lovers! After consulting the musical oracles (otherwise known as Wikipedia), we can confirm that Boston has graced the world with six studio albums. That's right, six! From their self-titled 1976 debut (the one that went platinum, like, seventeen times) to the aptly named "Life, Love & Hope" in 2013, these guys have delivered a solid dose of rock goodness.

But Wait, There's More! (But Not Really More Albums)
Now, before you start raiding your attic for hidden Boston albums, it's important to note that there are compilations and live albums out there too. But those aren't the same as brand new studio creations, bursting with fresh riffs and Brad Delp's soaring vocals (RIP, a true legend).
