Persistent earworm alert CCCLXX

Boston's "More Than A Feeling" has been in my music library forever, but iTunes shuffle mode had never landed on it until today.  As I wrote in a recent post, it's easy to overlook classic rock tunes that have been overexposed on the radio.  When you haven't heard a particular song in a while, however, it sometimes makes you appreciate its merits all the more.

Hearing "More Than A Feeling" for the first time in years made me remember why it was one of my favorite songs as a kid.  It captures the feel of losing yourself in music with sincere, foot-stomping vocals and a guitar rhythm that stays with you long after you've heard it.  Most aspiring rock guitarists or vocalists have undoubtedly taken a stab at it.  It's no wonder that album rock stations have been playing it since 1976.
