Great thread! Boston is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I'm glad you have a couple songs from Walk On in this poll. The album WALK ON is a underrated gem and I like it as much as the earlier Boston albums. Fran Cosmo did a nice job taking the lead vocals on that record. When they did the next two tours with Brad Delp singing the Walk On material with him, they captured lightning in a bottle!
I saw them on that tour in '95, with both Delp and Cosmo, and what a show it was. We were like 5th row center, and that was a concert where I had a perfect buzz (I rarely drank before or during shows, even in my younger days, but I did for that one), which just enhanced the awesomeness of it. It is so hard to rank concerts since I have seen so many, but that was one of the best I've seen in my 29 years of concert going.
I think the Walk On record is a little spotty, but I love the title track a ton, and think Surrender to Me and What's Your Name are really good as well. I Need Your Love would have been awesome with Delp singing it, but with Cosmo, it just sounded odd. Too bad, cause that intro is awesome, with that slow build and then they destroy you with the classic Boston guitars about 35 seconds in.
Don't let this fool you, though; HUGE Boston fan. Foreplay/Long Time, More Than A Feeling.... I love almost all of it, at least the Brad Delp version. In my humble opinion, it drops off post-Delp (though I still do listen to all the albums at various times).
To this day, I still have heard nothing from their last two albums. I didn't hear much good about either, so I didn't waste my time.
I do think Third Stage is a lot better than it is often given credit for. Side 2 is tremendous.
