Hairball
I loved Boston's first album when it was released. Proudly bought the vinyl as a 13 year old, and listened to it quite often.
Grew out of that phaze rather quickly though. and after a couple of months never wanted to hear that album as a whole ever again.
That said, I still enjoy some of those songs individually on the rare occasion when I hear them on the radio...I'd even go so far to say 'More than a Feeling' is a masterpiece!
and the blueprint for "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Can you elaborate on that Elmo? Do you mean as far as dynamics? Really interesting notion.
Chord change in the choruses of both songs. This was pointed out to me - I think in Rolling Stone magazines 500 greatest songs. Maybe Hairball could tell you more.

There are many classic albums that I have never much cared for/be thrilled about - such as SGT. PEPPER (or any Beatles album), PET SOUNDS, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, The JOSHUA TREE, etc etc - and my stance hasn't dramatically changed. But of those ones, which really once meant very much for me, but the thrill is gone, I think the ones I have lately noticed has been NEVER MIND THE BULLOCKS (the same goes for almost any English-based punk rock) and most lately, TALK IS CHEAP (I guess the latter should be considered as a rather classical one at least within a Rolling Stones fanbase). But I think the case is more of that the the receiver has changed, not the quality of the music.
But as it usually is with music, the development goes generally other way around: one discovers that the things once not 'clicking' are doing that later as the years go by, while the stance to old loved ones doesn't really change. The result is that there is more great, enjoyable music in the world as one gets older... More to choose from. Of course, the amount of passion, at least directed towards certain individual things, doesn't increase, quite the opposite. I probably never had later that kind of passion towards music as I had at my teenagar years.. Especially when NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS ruled my little world..

achtung baby
maybe theyre not classics, but i was well into them and then i lost interest as i did with u2 altogether, apart from the early stuff and live at redrocks. dont dig them much these days, they just lost everything that made them great, they retained none of it unlike other bands.

The whole Sgt Pepper notion has always bugged me. Because to me Pepper is my least favorite Beatles album; easily.
