Are we talking Boston here?  If so, drop the top baby, let's drive! Perfect summer driving song!

If we're not talking Boston, I'll shut up...

There I was today at a CD fair in Sunny Stourbridge, and the first song to come on was.. More Than a Feeling (original version). Twilight Zone or what....

No... Twilight Zone is a Golden Earring song...  

...and Golden Earrings was a single by The Enid....

... and Festiva music (for Enid) was by Gerhard Track and was first performed in 1981, scored for 4 solo trumpets and 4 solo trombones, accompanied by flute (2), oboe (2), clarinet (2), bassoon (2), horn (4), trumpet (2), trombone (3), timpani (1), drums (1), strings (not sure how many, my source was not forthcoming on this!)

and how about Angels and Devils which was written by Henry Brant and scored for a choir of flutes with solo alto flute?

[LivingForever]

I have two sources for discovering hoary old classics like this - the soundtrack of Scrubs (which has yielded goodies by Toto and indeed Boston), and Guitar Hero, which introduced me to the joys of 'Carry on My Wayward Son'.

Any more soft-rock cheese I should be aware of?

[Pedro]

Do Foreigner count as "rock cheese"?
I loved their first 4 LPs.

I reckon they do! What's a good track - I know 'Waiting for a girl like you' or whatever it's called but anything more interesting than that?

[Pedro]

Check the the tune that plays on their website from their new album. It's just like what I remember!  

I think "Cold as Ice" was the first track that hooked me....must have been a premonition for cold things to come!
