From Humble Beginnings to Rock Royalty
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
Boston wasn't exactly a band known for churning out albums like a pizzeria cranks out pies. They were more like the artisanal sourdough bakers of the rock world – taking their time, perfecting their craft, and ensuring each release was a masterpiece. Their self-titled debut in 1976 was a monster, selling a bajillion copies (well, not quite a bajillion, but a staggering 17 times platinum in the US) and launching them into rock royalty status.

The Simmering Middle
The next two albums, "Don't Look Back" (1978) and "Third Stage" (1986), kept the Boston sound bubbling away nicely. Though not quite reaching the stratospheric sales of their debut, they proved these guys weren't one-hit wonders. However, things then took a bit of a hiatus, with a gap of eight years before "Walk On" graced our ears in 1994. Maybe they were busy perfecting a new sourdough starter?
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
