Although Eric had Boston high on the charts in 2007, Todd wasn’t as familiar and didn’t have many memories surrounding the group or their songs. The boys discuss their thoughts on the band and also touch on the following:
- Boston is not the actual first choice for Todd when it comes to Boston based bands.
- What exactly did Eric do while on lunch during high school?
- Tom Scholz signature sound and the surprise that he wasn’t the lead singer of the band.
- How far did the band drop in Eric’s ranking (mostly because of their last four albums)?
- Why Todd and Eric say Boston’s debut album is one of the greatest?
