I am not too keen on either but Boston has a bit more bite and life in it

Pfft.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

What's next? Hold the Line? If You Leave Me Now? Dust in the Wind?
At least Sara is a decent song.

B lets rock! Although you should be ashamed of yourself for picking this instead of Fela Kuti or Pere fucking Ubu!

What a bunch of grumpy buggers. A is ok, although it goes on too long and doesn't work when it tries to be epic.
B IS epic! One of the greatest mainstream fuck me guilty pleasure singing in the car songs ever.
B all the way.

Well to be fair Gerry Rafferty is sweeping aside a Cure track elsewhere so it would only be following a trend.
The Boston track is great. What are you lot on?
But "Sara" is Stevie Nicks FM at close to their best... so it's A

This must not be the radio edit of "Sara" - I don't recall it being so LONG. It never impressed me much. Boring.
Boston - hoo boy. I vividly remember that hot Detroit summer of '76 (my HS grad year), when you would hear this song as soon as you turned on the radio. At least 20 times a day. I got really tired of it pretty quickly.
Still.....

Re: 70s Cup Final Round Match 4
The Boston track has sort of acquired the mantle of the heartlands AOR rock track its okay to like ( probably because Kurt Cobain gave it his blessing) which is fine I guess, but I think it's in danger of being overpraised these days ( although not probably on BCB ). It's a rousing chorus alright, but the rest of it is a bit forgettable.
The Fleetwood Mac track is on another level. If some still want to persist with the idea that FM are some kind of destroyers of "real music" then that's their look out. But such puritanical purity leads nowhere other than the refusal of the kind of shimmering beauty personified by this track. I would rather wallow in its soft, opiated layers and that dreamy, entrancing vocal. Wonderful.

Two biggies!
I like 'More Than a Feeling' but in a cheesy jukebox singalong way, although those are some damn smart harmonies.
I'm not much of a Fleetwood Mac fan but I have learnt to my pleasure that they did have a few absolutely wonderful moments and 'Sara' is chief among them. A gorgeous song.

Oh dear.
I'm less sick of B. And where's San Juan's great post on them? Shoulda gone in Classic Threads.

I’m helpless at the feet of A.
What I like about B is the way it rejigs a very tired chord sequence to excellent melodic effect. But like I said I’m helpless at the feet of

Easy now, Os - them's fightin' words.
Two strong radio-friendly songs, but 'MTAF' has more appeal for me.
I have mixed feelings about it to be honest, but a part of me has always seen it and that Boston LP as a 70s record-making peak, for better or worse.
