Bradley Delp, the impossibly high pitched vocalist of the band Boston passed away yesterday at the age of 55. Boston is best known for the song 'More than a Feeling'. The self titled debut album sold 17 million copies in the US and is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine with Boston being something of a Queen rip off to many.

See you at the great gig in the sky, Brad.

regards,

REB

'More Than a Feeling' is a song that never seems to sound dated when I hear it.
'Piece of Mind' is a favorite of mine.
'Bostons Greatest Hits' is their best release considering that they put out an album every 15 years or so.
(BTW REB,he actually passed away on the 9th of March)

I've heard their debut album "Bleach". It's pretty good, but I seriously doubt they'll be able to follow it up.

Impossibly high pitched voice eh?
Ever heard Rob Halford from Judas Priest?
King Diamond?
Even Deep Purple's Ian Gillan had his moments!
