Originally posted by snailhook:Hey, taking nothing away from Providence, but it has really only been over the last decade only. Very little before that. Add Mahi Mahi and Sage Francis to your list though. True, all mentioned are better than the Godsmack/Staind crew of Boston's recent submissions.
actually, for the last decade, i think providence has had a superior, more vital scene than boston. i'll take lightning bolt, six finger satellite, and arab on radar over any band in boston recently.
another good boston band unmentioned is wheat. they had a couple of great songs on a couple of good albums.

Weren't Winter Hours from Boston?

just a few awesome boogie rock bands that should've made it big but didn't for some reason. check 'em out.
Their names sound cool that's for sure.
Buffalo Tom should have more than 1 song on that list. Best thing to ever come out of Boston to these ears.
Winter Hours was from NJ I think. What about Morphine? D'OH! They're on the list.

Chorus
Are you going to the party?
Are you going to the boston tea party?
Redcoats in the village
Thereâ??s fighting in the streets
The indians and the mountain men, well
They are talking when they meet
The king has said heâ??s gonna put a tax on tea
And thatâ??s the reason you all americans drink coffee
Chorus
Fire in the mountains, flames upon the heath
And the president spits out the news
Heâ??s biting on wooden teeth
The children of the colonies
Got a different tale to tell
Iâ??m going down to the city
Tell my folks Iâ??m doing well
Chorus
Bringing back the buffalo to the long prairie
Bringing back the fishes swimming in the sea
The children of the colonies
Got a different tale to tell
Iâ??m going down to the city
Tell my folks Iâ??m doing well
Chorus

Good to know someone else knows this band. The Hammer Song is excellent.

Boston, New Jersey…same difference. Both places and peoples that New Yorkers feel they're superior to.

Where are the places and people that New Yorkers do not feel they are superior to?

If your band is from BFN New Hampshire, you are probably not playing "most" of your gigs in Boston until you can afford the gas. The smaller NE college towns are way more convenient and cheaper for building an initial following.
and BTW, most of southern NH is less than an hour from Boston.
i dont think anyone lives in Northern NH.

no, just more bands that you couldn't possibly understand the artistic merit of. i do suppose boston's more your scene, with all its generic college rock and people who think radiohead is changing the face of rock forever.
