1299 - Boston Smokin' 1976
"Smokin'" is a rock song by the American rock band Boston, released as the b-side to the band's first single,"More Than A Feeling".
The song was a collaborative effort between Tom Scholz, the band's mastermind, who had recently hired lead singer Brad Delp, and one of the two songs on the first Boston LP not written by Scholz alone. Delp's singing style mixed with Scholz's musical style in this song helped their eponymous first album to sell over 17 million copies. It was one of the song Scholz started writing in the early 1970s several years prior to the release of Boston.

953 - Boston More than a Feeling 1976
Boston is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts that achieved its most notable successes during the 1970s and 1980s.
His biggest hit, "More Than A Feeling" took writer Tom Scholz five years to complete.
In February 2008, Scholz wrote to Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, requesting him to stop performing the song at public appearances. Huckabee, an amateur bassist, was reported to have been regularly playing the song, sometimes with former Boston band member Barry Goudreau. In his letter, Scholz wrote:
While I’m flattered that you are fond of my song, I’m shocked that you would use it and the name Boston to promote yourself without my consent. Your campaign’s use of "More Than A Feeling", coupled with the representation of one of your supporters as a member "of Boston", clearly implies that the band Boston, and specifically one of its members, has endorsed your candidacy, neither of which is true.
