Their debut album, released in 1976, sold over 17 million copies, featuring timeless hits like “More Than a Feeling” and “Peace of Mind,” which solidified their place in rock history.

Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, Boston continued to achieve remarkable commercial success with their follow-up albums, including “Don’t Look Back” and “Third Stage.” Scholz’s commitment to high-quality production and his unique sound, characterized by layered harmonies and innovative guitar techniques, set the band apart in the rock genre. The album “Third Stage” debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with the single “Amanda” reaching the top of the charts, further demonstrating Scholz’s songwriting prowess.
