Summary
Fifty years ago this week, Boston released one of the best-selling debut albums in rock history. In the new bonus episode of the Behind The Song podcast, Janda flips through the class of ‘76 yearbook in classic rock, a year stacked with albums that still shape what we listen to today: Boston’s debut, Led Zeppelin's Presence , Rush's 2112 , Aerosmith's Rocks , Steve Miller Band's Fly Like an Eagle , Blue Öyster Cult's Agents of Fortune , Bob Seger's Night Moves , and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' debut. It was more than just a good year, it set the stage for what classic rock would become. Listen in and pick your own valedictorian from the Class of 1976!
