Popular Bands Who Are No One's #1 Favorite
I've never heard anyone in my life, anywhere in the world say their favorite band was Boston... Same with Wings.
shareI never heard that about Wings, but I knew plenty who said that about Boston, including my best friend.
shareWow, plenty?
shareYep, there are Tom Scholz geeks out there to this day -- esp among guitar players. Also, they hit it big during my formative years. You weren't cool unless you drew a good Boston guitar spaceship on your notebook cover.
shareI have over 5,000 songs, and I'd say 4,900 are from the 60s and 70s (mostly the 70s) but I only know about two songs by Boston and never liked them.. If I can't stand the vocals, I won't be a fan.
shareIt's more about how many people you know who are heavily into music. I have a friend who loves Devo more than any other band, has all their albums and too many bootlegs to count. I have another friend who felt the same for Bananarama, and yes, had a case of bootlegs on cassette. I think those two would have made your list too but... different strokes.
shareFunny you mention them because I just had a very similar conversation. I was telling my daughter how cool it is that her friend is such a Devo fan and how she even dresses up like them sometimes. I mean I’m betting she doesn’t have any other friends who are into them like she is.
shareTo most, they're Whip It. To others, new wave, post-punk icons.
