Tom Scholz reflects on the 50th anniversary of Boston’s debut album, which was initially rejected by record industry executives before becoming a monumental success. The album, released in 1976, featured the hit “More Than a Feeling” and sold over 17 million copies in the U.S., helping to revive rock music during a disco-dominated era. Scholz, a guitarist and engineer, painstakingly recorded the album largely in his basement while managing industry conflicts and personal tragedies, including the death of band members. Today, Scholz oversees the band’s legacy and remains passionate about his engineering pursuits, including restoring a radio-controlled plane he built in 1972.
